Changed w/o discussion: Recap.Star Trek The Next Generation S 3 E 26 S 4 E 1 The Best Of Both Worlds

This one has been changed a bunch of times without a thread on any of the occasions, so I think we need to make a decision on it.

The first image used on the page was this one: [1]◊. The troper who originally uploaded later decided they didn't like it, and replaced it with this: [2]◊. However, another troper then came along and replaced it with another image that has a similar issue to the first one, namely a massive Lens Flare that takes up most of the image: [3]◊.

I would like to suggest that we replace this current image with this [4]◊, which show's the episode's Wham Shot without any big, nasty lens flares getting involved.

Sent notifier to the most recent culprit. Haven't checked the other three yet, but yikes, the current's Lens Flare is too distracting.

Edit: Okay, having checked the other three, I think your suggestion is the best of them.

Agreed, 1.4 is the best of those by a long shot.

I am fine with 1.4

Same here.

Number One (point four), make it so.

or [1] IMO need something to make it clear its not part 1.

Whoa...that's a good point. This is indeed the second part of the episode so we need something from there and not that pic of Locutus, which is at the end of the previous episode. Maybe one of these? 1◊, 2◊, 3◊

Does 8.3 exist in higher quality? I liked one when I googled it but couldnt find anything in decent quality.

The page is actually for both parts of the story, not just the second one, so we could use a pic from either part (or I suppose one from each, but the recap doesn't seem long enough to justify that).

Why isnt it just one part? Its not like say Encounter At Farpoint or Way of the Warrior which did 2 hour episodes then later split into 2 parts, this is cliffhanger then conclusion.

Not really sure, it's just been that way for as long as I can remember. It's a bit inconsistent though, seeing how the multi-part episodes in TNG, Voyager and the early seasons of Enterprise combine multi-part stories into having just the one page, whereas TOS's sole two-parter and the multi-part stories from DS 9 and Enterprise's latter years have individual pages for each episode.

Personally, I'd go for consistency and put the episodes in their proper seasons across the franchise's pages rather than combining them, but that's a project for another forum.

Until we split, I still say 1.4. If we do indeed split the two episodes into two separate pages, we can discuss a different image for Part 2 at that time; until then, the image of Locutus on the viewscreen is probably the best representation of the entire two-parter as a whole.

The clock's up and the consensus is for 1.4, so it's swapped in and tagged. Locking up.
