liked very much the one where Picard got the choice, via Q, to relieve the pool hall barfight event from his youth where he was almost killed (the alien guys who looked like KISS), where a different choice would have led him to become some mediocre junior officer leading a tedious existence. Even though I generally don't like the Q oriented episodes, the character is just annoying.

Also the one where Wes and his academy buds were on trial over their flight stunt was very good.
