I still say "Catspaw" takes the cake.

And then puts it in a cauldron, and magically transports the crew to see three Macbethian witches cackling over it.

I'm surprised how close this one is.

I'm not. There are four spectacularly shitty episodes in the poll, all of which tend to induce amnesia as a self-defence mechanism to prevent brain damage from the highly infectious stupidity they contain. It's therefore difficult (and dangerous) to remember them in sufficient details to pick one.

From what I remember, the votes are following their suck. 'Savage Curtain' is the least offensive of them... but it's still at least just fucking strange.

I'm not even going to vote in this one - I had to read the reviews of the eps on the main site before I remembered them in any kind of detail and realize I had seen all of them before - (then I went and got drunk to try damage the brains cells that information was hiding in, i may have to try that again to make sure though :worried: )

The Way To Eden seems to have won neatly.

I honestly think TOS has some of the highest highs... and lowest lows of the franchise. that's quite an achievement!

Agreed.
lowest lows of the franchise.
Not even close. It had some shit, but nothing to match the worse of Voyager and Enterprise. It's also. AFAIK, the only Trek series that hasn't depicted genocide as a good thing.

Sisko's little stunt against the Maquis in "For the Uniform"

It says a lot about Trek that DS9 is the only series you can object to.

That wasn't genocide but the prevention of if.

Based on the assumption, for which no evidence was sought or provided, that the Maquis had a way off the planet. The fact that the Maquis were attempting genocide against the Cardassian settlements does not excuse Sisko using the exact same tactic against them.
