Least Favorite Episode?

Post by RK_Striker_JK_5 »

Okay, we've done favorite, now what about the flip-side to that coin? Which episode makes you cringe? Makes you doubt being a Trekkie?

"Plato's Stepchildren"


My dragon, what an embarrassing hour...


"Catspaw" was pretty bad, too. It being Chekov's first appearance is its only saving grace.

Wait, does this have to do with just TOS or in general? I've a list of least favorites from other series.

I took it to be TOS but I could be wrong. If I'm right it's The Way to Eden for me as well.

Well, I was aiming for TOS, this being the TOS forum...

But I guess any least favorite's okay. I second Threshold!

In that case....


"These Are the Voyages..." wins the award. I don't think ANY Trek episode made could beat that one.

Oh, by Primus, yes. That episode took the win and awesome of seasons three and four and basically shredded it. Season four especially, considering how kick-ass it was.

It is non-canon to me, the only episode in ST-counting the animated series, mind you-that has been stricken from my personal canon.

yeah i think deanna troi had the wrong hair in "these are the voyages" and thus contradicting established hair-style canon for season 7 TNG anyway...

TOS: Way to Eden (Space...hippies...must...die :shock: )

TNG: Journey's End (so bad it's paintful to watch... :oops: )

DS9: The Muse (I have no idea how this episode ever was produced. It's just...bad :roll: )
