The Most Disliked Episode of VGR, Season 7: 2021 Edition...

I enjoy the wacky Klingon shenanigans of "Prophecy." Another story I wouldn't have minded as two parts!

DRIVE
REPRESSION
INSIDE MAN
NIGHTINGALE
HUMAN ERROR
FRIENDSHIP ONE
NATURAL LAW
 
Very little to say about what's left. I'll save "SHATTERED" because it's a clever idea for essentially a clip show.

This is so weird. I posted a thing this morning for "Shattered" – or so I thought. Apparently it never sent correctly, and was waiting in my edit box when I logged back in. :shrug:
 
I'm going to save "Inside Man". Because Barclay! And we haven't seen TNG-style quasi-military Ferengi (or the Ferengi Marauder) in years!

DRIVE
REPRESSION
NIGHTINGALE
HUMAN ERROR
FRIENDSHIP ONE
NATURAL LAW
 
Human Error has a questionable romance with Seven and Chakotay, but the episode is pretty good and is mostly sold by Jeri Ryan.

The stuff about her moving into her own quarters and having more implants removed – and getting to wear a proper bloody uniform – are all things the show should have tackled for real during seasons six and seven.
 
Saving Drive. Of the episodes left, it manages to at least be fun.

REPRESSION
NIGHTINGALE
FRIENDSHIP ONE
NATURAL LAW
 
Saving FRIENDSHIP ONE because it's not really a bad episode. It's just a bit of a bore and drags a bit. Seven goes from not giving two f's about a mission to find retro-tech, to kinda starting to care about what happened to the last survivor of this ill-fated voyage. Something to strive for in human missions going to Mars....I guess?

REPRESSION
NIGHTINGALE
NATURAL LAW
 
"Repression" at least tries to spin some story out of the Maquis.

Like several of Voyager's later episodes, it feels like something they should have got around to earlier, and would have been better if they did, if only they hadn't been messing about with Kazon and whatever Kes's psychic powers were this week.
 
I'm going to save "Nightingale". Because Kim gets to prove why there was wisdom in not promoting him after all, and it's got Shepherd Book from Firefly in it. Plus "Natural Law" is so boring that I honestly can't remember what it's about beyond a shuttle crashing somewhere, and I last saw it perhaps only two months ago on my Voyager rewatch marathon.

"NATURAL LAW" IS SEASON SEVEN'S WORST EPISODE!
 
Well, I've missed the whole thing.

The worst one IMO is Friendship One. There are so many wrongs in it, it's appalling. Like Carey, they can't bring him back! Not long before they established that Seven's nanoprobes can bring back a rotting corpse but here they don't even envisage the possibility (if only to reject it from some contorted reason) and I could go on and on about all the things in that episode that are downright stupid. What a pile of junk!

I wanted Nightingale to lose, because it was ridiculous for multiple reasons. Harry had Kathryn Janeway, Tuvok, and Chakotay (good leaders all) to teach him command by example for seven years... and he apparently learned nothing.

Less than nothing, he was an outright jerk to his temporary crew. I am surprised they didn't throw him out of an airlock. There is zero growth to his character, in fact, he's even, more insufferable in season seven than he was back in season one.

REPRESSION

Considering your description, are you referring to season 6's "ONE SMALL STEP" instead? If so, then you can revote, but that might alter considerably the final 4 left... "REPRESSION", "NIGHTINGALE", "FRIENDSHIP ONE", and "NATURAL LAW".

Yes, Friendship One is so much worse than One Small Step! And that says something since "One Small Step" is crapola.

I think you just made me realize I voted for the wrong episode... I was confusing it with One Small Step..Similar premise...Yeah...This is worse than Natural Law...Too late to save Natural Law instead?
 
Since there are only 4 episodes left, and the result could be altered, I will let you change the vote.

Since you change it to "NATURAL LAW", the final three for the season are...

"REPRESSION"
"NIGHTINGALE"
"FRIENDSHIP ONE"


Sakonna and Vale, since you were the final two people to vote, you get to revote. You can keep your choice or select another. Since Sakonna went first last time, you get first pick of the three.
 
Well, I'll save "Repression" again! So @Vale, still saving "Nightingale" now that it's against "Friendship One"?

"NIGHTINGALE"
"FRIENDSHIP ONE"
 
I'll save "NIGHTINGALE". It's bad but FO is worse. I mean these people were dying for centuries but just shoot at the clouds with torpedoes and you'll turn the world into a paradise!:rommie:


"FRIENDSHIP ONE"
