TNG: The Hunted

There is nothing new or interesting about the story of an alien mistreated by his own government calling the interpretation of the prime directive into question. However the execution and detail for the episode The Hunted is a great deal of fun. By this point in the series the power of the starship Enterprise and the skill of her crew have been well established which makes it particularly sweet to see escaped prisoner Roga Danar confuse, evade and frustrate Captain Picard and the senior staff as he toys with them in a game of cat and mouse. The end of the episode allow allows us one of those rewarding moments where Picard, while still obeying the protocol of the federation gets to (essentially) tell a head of state where he can stick it.
