Meld - 2 Before and After - 1 Prey - 2 Nothing against Before and After, but I like Meld and Prey better.
Meld - 0 Before and After - 0 Difficult to choose now, but I'm going to eliminate Prey. Meld is among my favorites of VOY and I like that Kes was actually given a chance to shine in Before and After (something that didn't happen often).
Meld - 0 Before and After - 1 Meld is one of my favorite VOY episodes. Brad Dourif is great, and Tuvok gets a really interesting story. It's intense, dark and disturbing and actually uses the Maquis premise (in a group of terrorists, there's likely to be an actual sociopath or psychopath)... in other words, it is everything that VOY sadly usually is not.
I agree with DevilEyes. Both are good episodes, but I prefer the darker psychological stuff of Meld to the more high-concept sci-fi stuff in Before and After. Meld - 0 Before and After - 2
Meld And so, Meld is the VOY winner! Before and After is good, and Lien does a great job in it, but Russ and Dourif do so, so, so much better in Meld.
It's as valid a reason as any other to dislike an episode. We were asked to give reasons. And I don't think greatly disliking a character and by proxy their feature episodes is 'irrational'. That being said, Meld is a great choice, and I approve of it winning.
Phew, this one took a while. But at long last, the game is over. Thanks for playing everyone, and now we can move on! Hopefully you guys will follow me to.. the Enterprise board later today. The Next Generation Winner: The Best of Both Worlds (I). Deep Space Nine Winner: In the Pale Moonlight. Voyager Winner: Meld.
I can't believe Meld ended up the favorite, there are so many better episodes out there. I guess that's just how weirdly the game works
I would have voted for Before and After but Meld is a good episode. A lot of good VOY episodes just didn't make it. *minute's silence*
Surprising, to say the least. I would have voted to have Dark Frontier or Scorpion as best episode. But ah well...
You know what I think this game reveals, not the best episode but the "least disliked episode". Well it was still fun!
I think that it's because if there's a good episode but someone doesn't like it, it only takes one post for that episode to go. I mean, it only would have taken one person to think that Best of Both Worlds was crap to see that go first...
