The MOST Disliked Episode of STAR TREK - Season One...

Together with THE CAGE insert, the two MENAGERIE episodes are a fascinating multilayered look at Enterprise (and Spock) history.
 
Removing Space Seed. Kirk's galactic mistakes aside, this is densely plotted, has great action, is very important canonically, and spawned an awesome movie.

When you remove a single episode (and not two) you’re supposed to copy and paste the list with the rest of the episodes...

Removing Space Seed. Kirk's galactic mistakes aside, this is densely plotted, has great action, is very important canonically, and spawned an awesome movie.

...because without the list someone will vote for an episode that already has been voted, like "Space Seed".
 
Thanks for starting this version, Farscape. By the way, we actually did this format once already so we do have episodes to place in the Hall of Failures. I've gone back to my oldest threads and found the 2011 winners (losers) for each show, for your benefit:

The Original Series: And the Children Shall Lead
The Next Generation: Shades of Gray
Deep Space Nine: Profit and Lace
Voyager: The Fight
Enterprise: Terra Nova

Thank you, sir. I am editing the TOS one in now.
 
Sorry.

Go down to Deck 5 Recreation Room, What Are Little Girls Made Of? You deserve a chance to relax while other episodes fight it out for the most disliked. Sherry Jackson rocks!
 
I'll remove Court Martial. I love the Trek legal episodes and Court Martial set the standard.

Errand needs to be saved. The first look at Klingons, Kirk n Spock running a two man resistance, wickedly charming Kor and Kirk's admittance that for all of Starfleet's "we come in peace" he is almost as upset as Kor that the Organians have sent the bickering kids to bed early without supper!

What more can you ask for?
 
I think Space Seed has already been taken right?

PAY ATTENTION TO THE GAME RULES GUYS, you are supposed to cut and paste the list and remove your choice.

Here's where we are:

THE MAN TRAP
CHARLIE X
THE NAKED TIME
THE ENEMY WITHIN
MUDD'S WOMEN
MIRI
DAGGER OF THE MIND
THE MENAGERIE PART ONE
TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY
 
I am removing "DAGGER OF THE MIND". The first time we see a mind meld... the way it was acted, shot, the music, and the general atmosphere of that scene has always been a favorite of mine. Still can give a little chill sometimes, if the mood is right.

THE MAN TRAP
CHARLIE X
THE NAKED TIME
THE ENEMY WITHIN
MUDD'S WOMEN
MIRI
THE MENAGERIE PART ONE
TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY
 
I actually really like "The Enemy Within" which I have removed from the list. For me, looking at the list I would leave "Mudd's Women" as the least liked left but will be interested in seeing where we end up. So here we are:

THE MAN TRAP
CHARLIE X
THE NAKED TIME
MUDD'S WOMEN
MIRI
THE MENAGERIE PART ONE
TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY
 
When I saw this thread, my immediate thought was that The Alternative Factor would be the last one standing. Surprise, surprise! I'll take off Tomorrow Is Yesterday. There's a good bit about the time travel that doesn't make sense, but it's still an interesting premise, has one of my favorite jokes of the series ("I'm going to lock you up for 200 years." "That ought to be just about right."), and correctly predicts that the first manned moon landing mission would launch on a Wednesday!

CHARLIE X
THE NAKED TIME

THE MENAGERIE PART ONE
 
The Naked Time is a lot of fun.

THE MAN TRAP
CHARLIE X
MUDD'S WOMEN
MIRI
THE MENAGERIE PART ONE
 
I'm removing THE MAN TRAP. It is atmospheric, sets up moral dilemmas for our characters, and has an (for the time) outstanding planet set.

CHARLIE X
THE NAKED TIME
MUDD'S WOMEN
MIRI
THE MENAGERIE PART ONE

Sir Rhosis
 
Just going by the explanation, that doesn't follow the OP's rules, does it? It's supposed to be a vote for the favorite or best of what's available, not a tactical vote to hurt a specific episode.
Shrug, I happen to like this episode.

Sir Rhosis
Spock's backhand of Kirk saves "The Naked Time" :rommie:
 
I will eliminate "Menagerie, Part One." Great episode, outside of the contrivance of the Spock death penalty.
