Well, I may not be able to agree with you on the Cherokee Nation is space episode, but we do agree on this point.

Most of the best episodes of both TOS and TNG have far less to do with special effects and space battles than basic Human conflict.  Even when the Humans had green skin or pointy ears.  Sure, I like the occational Bird of Prey or Borg battle with phasers blasting too.  Even Shakespeare knew when to throw in a good old fashion sword fight to spice things up.  But the best episodes of either had characters, conflict and motivations that could have easiily come from "King Lear", "Macbeth", or "Moby Dick".  

"Chain of Command".  Wow.  I forgot about that one.  That would have to run a VERY close second.  There is also the episode where Picard went home to his family farm to rest after having been used by the Borg.  That was a very good one too.
