Star Trek:TNG, that episode where Picard has been captured and turned by the Borg.
Backstory: I've always considered myself a bit of a geek, but despite this I never watched Star Trek. From 2008 to 2012 I was working on a ship, so I needed something to watch. So I decided to start watching ALL of Star Trek, starting with the pilot, then via Kirk, etc.
Come 2010 I wad at home with my GF, and we were watching TNG together the evening before I was to fly out. And with each episode it got more and more exciting, to the point where it was 0200 in the morning and 8 had to get up early to catch a flight for work at 0900.
"OK, one more episode, and then we HAVE to call it quits for now".
Well, yeah, that was the episode that ended with the cliffhanger of Picard having been captured. I ended up not sleeping at all that night.
You consider yourself a bit of a geek, but you don’t know off the top of your head that the name of that episode is “Best of Both Worlds”?
Pfft…
/s
It's cool that Hannah Montana was an inspiration for the title.
I had to wait for the next season to watch the conclusion the first time I saw it back in the day. Broadcasters were mean with the season ending cliffhangers!
That story arc is still one of my favorites. When Ryker is about to try warping right through the other ship and Data just tells him "standby", one of my favorite scifi moments in any show/movie. Comparable to Adama saying jump the ship! Where, I don't have a solution? Anywhere, jump now!
