Great Episode Streaks

Planet of the Daves

Lieutenant Commander
Red Shirt
Anyone have a favorite streak of episodes from any of the shows?

Though there are many others that I love, from TOS:

"Return of the Archons"
"Space Seed"
"A Taste of Armageddon"
"This Side of Paradise"
"The Devil in the Dark"
"Errand of Mercy"

This is the Joe DiMaggio of Star Trek episode streaks! Aired between February 9, 1967 and March 23, 1967. Seriously though, this is an extremely impressive string of back-to-back episodes in my opinion. I'm sure many would leave Archons off the list but I just love that one!

Anyone else?
 
It'd be unfair for me to bring Lower Decks into the conversation as that show could go for seasons without a bad episode, so I'm going to say the end of Enterprise season 3.

Azati Prime
Damage
The Forgotten

The Council
Countdown
Zero Hour

Though my favourite streaks are the ones out the window when they go warp speed.

DS9 season 4 to season 6's "YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED".

Except for one bad episode ("LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...") and one part of another (Jake half of "THE MUSE"), that was a massive streak of awesome... that's 57 and 1/2 episodes out of 59.

We'll never see the like again... even LOWER DECKS, which I loved, can't match that total because it stopped at 50 episodes.

This right here!! Damn “Alternative Factor” to alternate universe hell for coming before “City on the Edge of Forever”!

I’d also suggest DS9’s peak from “Rapture” through to “You are Cordially Invited”.

Rapture
The Darkness and the Light
The Begotten
For the Uniform
In Purgatory’s Shadow
By Inferno’s Light
Dr Bashir I Presume
A Simple investigation *
Business as Usual
Ties of blood and water
Ferengi Love Songs *
Soldiers of the Empire
Children of Time
Blaze of Glory
Empok Nor *
In the Cards
Call to Arms
A time to stand
Rocks and Shoals
Sons and Daughters *
Behind the Lines
Favour the Bold
Sacrifice of Angels
You are Cordially invited

Such a powerhouse string of episodes. The ones with asterisks are the weaker ones imo, but none of them are particularly bad, more “mid” and they don’t otherwise sabotage the great run.

The end of S5 with the beginning of S6 of DS9 was a particulsrly good stretch. Though some will say "Sons & Daughters" breaks it. I don't.
