I'm up to S01E12 in my Blu-ray series re-watch, and am enjoying all of them.
It's also the first time I'm seeing them in their remastered form.
The Big Goodbye, with the first appearance of the Dixon Hill holodeck program is the point that really opens up the series, because there's that world space within Enterprise that could be virtually anything: to create the illusion of fully functioning worlds in minute detail that can be interacted with, populate them with people who believe they're real, and allow for the deadly use of firearms. Essentially it jumps the shark, because you have to accept that the ship can devote that much power to replicating all of that for what is often just leisure time for the crew.
Yet it's too much fun not to have this option on board.
