The MOST Disliked Episode of DS9 - Final Part...

[Jack Watkins]

Voting "The Muse" again, for the same reasons as before. "Let He Who is Without Sin" and "The Emperor's New Cloak" are absolutely dreadful.

MELORA - 0
THE MUSE - 3
LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 1
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

 

[BigDaveX]

The Muse is out of here. As dull and awkward as the main story is, Lwaxana's subplot is at least an improvement on Fascination, and a better note for her to exit the franchise on.

MELORA - 0
LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 0
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

LHWIWS: We get to know a little about Worf's childhood and the trauma that motivates his behavior.

MELORA - 0
LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 2
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

LHWIWS, because Worf.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Let He Who Is Without Sin. Horrible episode, but has a few moments of actual humor as well as some attempts by Dorn to actual emote. Plus, I can forgive Siddig for his mind being in another place.

MELORA - 0
LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

 

[Garth Rockett]

It's hard for me to come up with a good reason to vote for any of these, so I will vote for Melora for the Daphne Ashbrook/Doctor Who connection.

MELORA - 1
LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

 

[Jack Watkins]

Voting for "Melora," but only because I have a gun to my head.

MELORA - 2
LETHE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

 

[JirinPanthosa]

One for Emperor's New Cloak. Same reason as before, out of three incredibly stupid episodes it's the only one that was trying to be stupid.

To me Let He Who Is Without Sin is even worse than the other two. The cheesy portrayal of the 'Essentialists', both Dax obnoxiously pushing buttons and Worf being an absolute dick about it. And Worf not realizing terrorism is a bad thing until the last moment. One of those episodes that makes you hate otherwise likable characters.

MELORA - 2
LETHE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 1

 

[Sakonna]

"Melora" It's terrible, but as an early season 2 entry, I find it's problems more forgivable than the other two. And it's heart was in the right place: wanting to do a story about disabilities, hiring a disabled writer to script it, etc.

MELORA - 3
LETHE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 1

 

[BigDaveX]

Melora. It at least tried to have a valid message, the other two are just a mess. Thus leaving the final two as:

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 0
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

 

[Grendelsbayne]

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 1
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 0

Same reason.

 

[Sakonna]

The Emperor's New Cloak. As someone said upthread, at least it's trying to be stupid. And I can always find some enjoyment in Nana Visitor's performance as the Intendant, even when everything else surrounding her is awful.

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 1
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 1

 

[Farscape One]

My final vote for DS9 will go to "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...", for the same reasons I stated before.

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 2
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 1

 

[Bad Thoughts]

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 1
Same reason as stated before.

 

[Jack Watkins]

Omg, they both suck for different reasons.

I'm going with "Emperor's," only because of the scene with Quark/Rom carrying the cloaked cloaking device, and Rom's confusion with the Mirror Universe. Meanwhile, I found nothing amusing about "Let He..."

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 2

 

[BigDaveX]

Let's send this right to the wire, shall we? I'll give a point to The Emperor's New Cloak, purely because Let He Who is Without Sin tries to do character development for Worf and Jadzia, but only succeeds in damaging both of them. The worst that New Cloak does in that regard is have Zek trying to pull off a particularly stupid plan.

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN... - 3
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK - 3

 

[Garth Rockett]

When I started catching up and saw those votes for Let He... I was afraid it would not be the last one standing. Not on my watch! I save The Emperor's New Cloak. Your winner:

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...

 

[Jack Watkins]

Yes! This feels so right!

I'll give " Let He..." credit for one thing; its not as bad as "Threshold." ☺

 

[Sakonna]

Now, that was a fun one! Suspenseful! "Sin" is truly my most hated DS9 ep and I've been rooting for it to "win" since we started season one, so that's satisfying for me. I had given up hope after it made it to 3 points a few times!

I totally despise "Cloak" also, so a deserving second place finisher. These two episodes, plus "Sons & Daughters", are the three I purely hate, of the 14 episodes we started this Final Part with.

 

[Farscape One]

We have the 2018 'winner' of DS9. It is "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...".

(A side note... earlier, I mentioned that I predicted 3 episodes will end up at the bottom. They were "MELORA", "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...", and "THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOAK". I am surprised that it turns out my prediction was correct.)

I thank you all for voting. This was an exciting series for voting, with very interesting results and reasons for saves.

I will begin STAR TREK: VOYAGER season 1 shortly.
