Wanted to ask you guys : what ar eyour top 10 must see episodes of Lower Decks?

Lioness just finished so my wif emight cancel teh Parmaount Plus subscription. So before then, i wanted to find out from y'all which episodes would be the must see before our subscription gets terminated. I have season all of season 5, so you guys can concentrate on Seasons 1-4 . (Oh, and I am also up to episode 5 on season 1)

ANd yes, i know many have advised watching the whole thing, in order. but that might not be possible (I also have a family and work and community responsibilities too).

Thanks!
 
If 10 episodes is your absolute limit and you can't go past it, then I'd suggest watching these 12:
  1. 1x09 - Crisis Point
  2. 1x10 - No Small Parts
  3. 2x02 - Kayshon, His Eyes Open
  4. 2x08 - I, Excretus
  5. 2x09 - wej Duj
  6. 2x10 - First First Contact
  7. 3x01 - Grounded
  8. 3x05 - Reflections
  9. 3x06 - Hear All, Trust Nothing
  10. 3x08 - Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus
  11. 4x09 - The Inner Fight
  12. 4x10 - Old Friends, New Planets
 
Can't say it'll happen in your case, but I've had and canceled Paramount+ at least five times at this point. Practically every time I've gone to try and cancel, they've offered me a free month or some other kind of promo.

My top ten eleven recs:
  • 1x08 - Veritas
  • 1x09 - Crisis Point
  • 1x10 - No Small Parts
  • 2x07 - Where Pleasant Fountains Lie
  • 2x08 - I, Excretus
  • 2x09 - wej Duj
  • 2x10 - First First Contact
  • 3x01 - Grounded
  • 3x05 - Reflections
  • 3x06 - Hear All, Trust Nothing
  • 3x08 - Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus
which turns out to look surprisingly like Ray's, although I ended up really disliking the end of season 4 and found that the series instead peaked between the end of season 1 and the end of season 3. Getting to 11 was somewhat easy, but now it's hard to pick which of these to eliminate.
 
I would go:

S1: E9: Crisis Point
S1: E10: No Small Parts
S2: E9: wej Duj
S2: E10: First First Contact
S3: E5: Reflections
S3: E6: Hear All, Trust Nothing
S3: E9: Trusted Sources
S3: E10: The Stars at Night
S4: E6: Parth Ferengi Heart Place
S4: E9: The Inner Fight

Also real good, IMHO:

S1: E8: Veritas
S2: E1: Strange Energies
S2: E7: Where Pleasant Fountains Lie
S2: E8: I, Excretus
S3: E8: Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus
S4: E1: Twovix
S4: E5: Empathalogical Fallacies
S4: E8: Caves
S4: E10: Old Friends, New Planets
S5: E7: Fully Dialated

That's 20. And I could go a couple more easily to get to half of 48:

S2: E5: An Embarassment of Dooplers
S3: E2: The Least Dangerous Game
 
S1 E9 Crisis Point
S2 E3 We'll always have Tom Paris
SNW These old scientist
S5 E9 Fissure Quest
S5 E8 Upper Decks
S5 E4 A Farewell to Farms
S5 E2 Shades of Green
