Mine, oddly, is when Data is watching Picard sleep
This is so good.
1990s TNG had a good heart.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and my dad was born in the wilderness in a very traditional lifestyle in northern Ontario. His first and only language was Ojibway/Cree, he understood English but seldom spoke it as he preferred his our language only.
As a teen in the 90s I loved watched TNG and I watched it as often as I could whenever I could. I never stuck to a schedule and we only had the most basic satellite TV package we could afford at the time. I was so engrossed and loved the show so much that my dad at one point asked me … ‘It’s amazing that people are up there now that are doing all those things’
I had to explain to him that it was all just as show that was fake and that none of it was real.
To me … this is my favourite TNG moment … that the show was so convincing and well performed that it made my dad believe that it was real.
To be fair, my dad was probably the most intelligent person I’ve ever known and an excellent teacher. In his prime, he often just walked into the wilderness with nothing but a knife in the fall and came back midwinter with a stack of furs to trade and make money and then head back out again with very little to survive on. He just wasn’t that aware of what the outside world was all about.
There’s a scene in S2E12 where Picard reveals that Fermat’s Last Theorem still hasn’t been proved. It was proved a few years after the episode came out. I thought that was funny… Also in S2E3 a holodeck hologram becomes sentient. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xzi7qBk6ll8&pp=ygUMdG5nIG1vcmlhcnR5 That one is pretty good.
If we’re including movies: “That was neither honorable nor courageous!”
If not: “One is my name, the other is not.”

The moment where Picard says, “we have no law to fit your crime.”
Picard on the first duty.
Picard in the Observation Lounge with Nuria, the Mintakan.
I find it incredibly moving
Someone else said my favorite one so ill go with another that i like a lot.
The scene with picard and wesley and picard gives him the speech about telling the truth.
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. And if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform!
Bonus: My favorite silly moment was when time was stopped/very slowed and picard draws a smiley face in a warp core breach
Picard breaking down in the mud with his brother about his assimilation.
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra !!
Darmok and Jalad, on the ocean.
Shut up, Wesley!
Shut up! As in close your mouth and stop talking!
The ending of Inner Light where Picard is playing the flute into the void
When data gets the emotion chip and tries drinking. “I hate this”, takes another sip, “oh yes! I hate this! This is revolting!”.
Guinan: “More?”
Data: “Please.”
technically; that was a movie, not tng.
Oh shoot, you’re right.
At this moment the scene that comes to mind is Data asking Worf to take care of Spot.
I will FEED HIM.
You must tell him he is a good cat, and a pretty cat.
Probably when Tasha asks Data if he’s fully functional.
