Again with some reasoning...

Season 1
The Battle: The Picard Maneuver.
The Big Goodbye: Gimme the gun!
11001001: Oh, Commander Riker!
Home Soil: When a rock strikes back.

Season 2
Elementary, Dear Data: The Computer vs. Data.
Loud as a Whisper: Way to go for the deaf guy.
The Measure of a Man: What does it mean to be "alive"? And how do "human rights" apply to fanciful AIs as they might to different humans?
Contagion: Just a bit of fun.

Season 3
The Ensigns of Command: Data struggles to resolve a decidedly human conflict. In addition, Data roffles four guards at the aqueduct.
Who Watches the Watchers?: "The Picard." Also, Picard gets shot with an arrow.
The Bonding: A good look at Worf.
The Defector: I thought Jarok's story was rather poignant.
The Hunted: A relevant theme, no?
The High Ground: Picard tackles a terrorist--that and a theme that obviously resonates with today.
Dejà Q: Poor powerless Q.
Yesterday's Enterprise: "Not good enough, damnit! Not good enough!"
The Offspring: Pretty emotional.
Sins of the Father: Picard slays a Klingon assassin. Also, Worf shows why he's the most awesome Klingon of his time.
Sarek: Picard + Sarek for the win.

Season 4
The Best of Both Worlds: Wolf 359. How did Starfleet ever survive the Borg assault?
Family: The Rozhenkos and the Picards.
Brothers: Dr. Soong, I presume.
Suddenly Human: Something about the resolution surprised me.
Reunion: DURAAAAAS.
Data's Day: A day in the life of an android.
First Contact: Sounds eerily familiar. Also, an alien baby with Riker?
The Drumhead: OBJECTION! I find your behavior...objectionable!
In Theory: Nice try, Data.

Season 5
Darmok - Communication! Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Dathon and Picard at El-Adrel.
