    There's already been a thread like this recently, but it had no poll.

    This one is multiple choice, so don't hold back! :D

    I love your poll, but there is only one real choice there. And I chose it! :klingon:

    You're free to vote for as many episodes as you like, you know :techman:
    (BTW, "SOW" was mentioned in that previous thread, so I put it in, but I don't hate it either).

    Wow - tough choice, although you left off what I am pretty sure are my least-favorite TOS episode - "The Paradise Factor" - and my least-favorite VOY episode - "Endgame." And I agree with Miraclefan that "Skin of Evil" doesn't really belong on there.

    But there is plenty of badness to choose from, and so I chose "Sub Rosa." I think you know why. It makes "Spock's Brain" (which I know is a terrible episode, but I do enjoy the cheese), "Threshold," "And the Children Shall Lead" and even "Code of Honor" look like MacBeth in comparison.

    Code of Honor, Omega Glory, Let He Who Is Without Sin

    I personally hate Voyager's Waking Moments the most though.

    I went for The Alternative Factor, easily my least favourite episode of TOS, Shades of Grey, Threshold and These Are the Voyages. They all commit the cardinal sin of being both rubbish and also boring - I can stand dodgy episodes if they're entertainingly rubbish (Spock's Brain) but if they're boring on top of it, there's no hope!

    Really needs to be an "Other" Poll option. There are many, many, many episodes that are just as bad or worse as those listed on the Poll.

    Meridian shouldn't be on there because it has an amazing B story whereas some of the worst of the worst have no redeeming qualities whatosever.

    Examples of other episodes that must be up there too: Melora, Fascination, Chrysalis, Time's Orphan, A Fistful of Datas etc. etc.

    "Enterprise" doesn't count as Trek for me (in fact it should have never existed), and I'm not familiar enough with the TOS and D.S.9. episodes to make a call, but I can tell you "Code of Honor" is fucking unforgivable. It's shit at it's worst. There is NOTHING redemable about that episode.

    And what's makes it worse is that Fred Steiner (the only compsoer from TOS days to get on TNG) got his one and only shot with this episode. What a wasted shot. I wonder if that's what did him in there and thusly never saw him score another.

    Code of Honour, for sure. And I voted for Spock's Brain, even though I love it because it's hilarious.

    <shameful opinion>I don't think Sub Rosa is a bad episode at all.</shameful opinion>

    Yes, I agree. Trek at its worst.

    I also voted for And The Children Shall Lead, The Alternative Factor, The Omega Glory, Shades of Gray and The Fight.

    There's nothing to be ashamed of; I rather like it myself, too. :)

    Oh, and why is Exile even on that list? :mad:

    I guess I would have to say Code of Honor.

    I actually like some of those episodes listed, Children Shall Lead, These Are The Voyages and a couple of others, but I've long since realized that I'm more or less alone on that.

    Fury is the only episode I was unable to sit through and Omega Glory was vomit-inducing at the end, so I'll go with those two.

    I liked "Code of Honor". Granted, I haven't seen it in about five years. There's something about two women fighting to the death...

    Am I thinking about the right episode?
