The Star Trek Project: NextGen Season 6

 I feel like more of my recommendations for this season are marginal ones, compared with previous seasons. By this point the series is straining some to come up with new ideas, and are often doing variations on things they did before, though there are some strong episodes in this season as well.

Season 6 

Episode 4 "Relics" 

"Scotty!" 

Episode 6 "True Q" 

Q and the new intern. 

Episode 7 "Rascals" 

Picard and three others are de-aged to adolescence. Silly premise, but it proves quite fun. 

Episode 8 "A Fist Full of Data's". 

A holodeck "Western" episode. Spaghetti Trek? 

Episodes 10 & 11 "Chain of Command Parts 1 & 2"

Picard goes on a secret mission into Cardassian space, the Enterprise is assigned a temporary new Captain. 

Episode 14 "Face of the Enemy" 

Troi goes undercover as a Romulan intelligence agent. 

Episode 15 "Tapestry" 

It's a Wonderful Quantum Lead, Q & the afterlife. 

Episode 16 & 17 "Birthright, Parts I & II" 

There's some Data stuff, but it's mostly about Worf following up on a tip that his father may still be alive, in Romulan custody. 

Episode 18 "Starship Mine" 

Die Hard on the Enterprise. 

Episode 19 "Lessons" 

So different from any other NextGen episode, an understated romance for Picard. 

Episode 20 "The Chase" 

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Galaxy. Picard brings the Enterprise on an archeological treasure hunt. 

Episode 23 "Rightful Heir" 

The second coming of Kahless The Unforgettable. 

Episode 24 "Second Chances" 

A duplicate Riker. 

Episode 25 "Timescape" 

Star Trek does 'Tenent'? 

Season 6 Episode 26 & Season 7 Episode 1 "Descent, Parts I & II" 

Lore and the Borg
