The two-part episode “The Best of Both Worlds” was a huge surprise for viewers, leaving them on the edge of their seats between seasons 3 and 4 of TNG.

As a huge fan of The Godfather films, I’ll admit the timeline can be a little tricky. The Godfather: Part II especially messes with things, jumping back and forth to tell both a sequel and a prequel story at the same time.

The 2020 re-release really improved it, and honestly, it’s a solid mob film, even if it is a lot to keep track of.
