    1. The Enterprise runs into a mysterious energy field of a type it has
    encountered several times before.

    2. The Enterprise goes to visit a remote outpost of scientists, who
    are all perfectly all right.

    3. Some of the crew visit the holodeck, and it works properly.

    4. The crew of the Enterprise discover a totally new lifeform, which
    later turns out to be a rather well-known old lifeform wearing a funny
    hat.

    5. The crew of the Enterprise are struck by a mysterious plague, for
    which the only cure can be found in the well-stocked Enterprise
    sick-bay.

    6.The Captain has to make a difficult decision about a less advanced
    people which is made a great deal easier by the Starfleet Prime
    Directive.

    7. The Enterprise successfully ferries an alien VIP from one place to
    another without serious incident.

    8. An enigmatic being composed of pure energy attempts to interface to
    the Enterprise's computer, only to find out that it has forgotten to
    bring the right leads.

    9. A power surge on the Bridge is rapidly and correctly diagnosed as a
    faulty capacitor by the highly-trained and competent engineering
    staff.

    10. The Enterprise is captured by a vastly superior alien intelligence
    which does not put them on trial.

    11. The Enterprise is captured by a vastly inferior alien intelligence
    which they easily pacify by offering it some sweeties.

    12. The Enterprise visits an earth-type planet called "Paradise" where
    everyone is happy all of the time. However, everything is soon
    revealed to be exactly what it seems.

    13. A major Starfleet emergency breaks out near the Enterprise, but
    fortunately some other ships in the area are able to deal with it to
    everyone's satisfaction.

    14. The Enterprise is involved in a bizarre time-warp experience which
    is in some way unconnected with the Late 20th Century.

    15. Kirk (or Riker) falls in love with a woman on a planet he visits,
    and isn't tragically separated from her at the end of the episode.

    16. Counsellor Troi states something other than the blindingly
    obvious.

    17. The warp engines start playing up a bit, but seem to sort
    themselves out after a while without any intervention from boy genius
    Wesley Crusher.

    18. Wesley Crusher gets beaten up by his classmates for being a smarmy
    git, and consequently has a go at making some friends of his own age
    for a change.

    19. Spock (or Data) is fired from his high-ranking position for not
    being able to understand the most basic nuances of about one in three
    sentences that anyone says to him.

    20. Most things that are new or in some way unexpected.

    But we still love it, right kids?
