The news that Jeri Taylor had passed away spread like a ripple of sadness through the fans of the franchise. Though Taylor had stepped away from active involvement with Star Trek some years ago, her impact has crafted some of Trek's greatest stories, characters, and indeed series. She was a co-creator of Star Trek: Voyager, helping to bring Captain Janeway into existence.

That Taylor has a lasting impact on Star Trek may seem a simple thing to say, but one needs only look to the tributes coming from those she inspired with her writing too. Aaron Waltke tweeted a memory of how she inspired him, as a young writer, by donating her annotated scripts to Indiana University. In this action, she was then not just a co-creator of Voyager, but helped inspire the team that created Star Trek: Prodigy.

She was an incredible writer, with many of Trek's strongest stories owing her a debt. In this list we will discuss episodes that were either written by Taylor outright, or in which she had a hand - teleplay by, story by, or co-written by. There are too many for one list - Unification, Suddenly Human, Investigations, Nothing Human - these are all also fantastic episodes that helped improve the franchise as a whole.

Taylor leaves behind an amazing legacy in Star Trek. Here are ten of her best episodes for consideration.
