The Most Disliked Episode of VGR, Final Round: 2021 Edition...

[Oddish]

If Nightingale had actually FIXED Harry's lack of advancement, instead of just spewing easily refuted crap about "command structure", I could get behind it despite the character assassination. But it doesn't.

Unforgettable again.

...

Nightingale ends with Harry acknowledging that after seven years he's still a grunt and deservedly so. Pitiful!

Nightingale ends with Harry acknowledging that after seven years he's still a grunt and deservedly so. Pitiful!

He said "I'm not a captain. Not yet."
There's a reason why Starfleet has ensigns, LTJG's, lieutenants, LCDR's, and commanders. These lower ranks allow an officer to gain the skills and experience necessary for command.

Harry wasn't a captain. But he was ready to be a lieutenant.

[Brennyren]

I have a feeling I'll get to keep voting for "The Fight" for a while....In case you've forgotten my reasons: weirdness, Romero, Walston, decent Beltran effort.

[Vale]

Let's save "Unforgettable". I don't remember it being entirely awful, just (if you'll excuse the pun) forgettable.

New round... I'll go for "Vis a Vis". It's now a case of "picking the episode that is the least annoying".

I guess Vis a Vis. It's two mediocre episodes and 5 awful episodes.

I'll save John Travolta in Face Off...or is it Vis A Vis...because...um...it isn't Fury or The Fight. Go get em Nick Cage!

Begin Round 9, FIGHT! (But not "The Fight")

[Brobdingnag]

So "Vis-a-Vis" is no more.

For the next round, I choose, boy, this is hard,... "THE FIGHT", because it's a tiny bit less annoying and stupid than the rest, but I needed a magnifying glass to see the difference.

I'm still sticking with "Nightingale" Every time I vote for it I become more certain it's my "best" on this list.

[BoTWoT]

Easily the current best of the worst is Nightingale. Harry just may have learned to speak up for himself after only 7 seasons as ensign. If they bring him back on Picard randomly, I hope he's still a Lieutenant Junior Grade just to keep the joke alive, though.

Resetting the contest.... and voting reluctantly for The Fight. Like Nightingale, it tried to do something with a neglected character. But it didn't deliberately slap the viewers across the face.

Ugh. Harder and harder to pick.

"THE FIGHT", only because the concept of Chaotic Space was interesting.

Nightingale isn't the best episode, and but the B-plot with Icheb and B'Elanna was fun fluff.

Voting for "Nightingale", because it's got Shepherd Book in it. So it's saved.

Reset time! And this is now so hard I've resorted to a random number generator. And it says 2. So "Favorite Son" gets my vote.

"The Fight," same reasons as the previous three times. Also, unlike the other four, it didn't actively piss me off.
