Worst Episode of TNG Season Six Part One

There were unfortunately some stinkers that season.

MAN OF THE PEOPLE was pretty lame...more of that mental rape/violation/whatever stuff that plagues Troi.

Probably worse than Rascals...but I already voted. And I haven't seen MAN OF THE PEOPLE in years.

I actually found Rascals kinda funny, and not in a 'oh god what is this?' way- I actually enjoyed it. Stupid premise, but executed as well as it could realistically have been, I think. And the kid actors didn't suck.


ETA: I just used my 5000th post to support Rascals. I feel a little unclean.

The others were just boring, Aquiel stunk!

I was wondering if we can think of the all time worse TNG.

Man of the People (Sirtis can't Act)

It's really weird. For 5 1/2 years I thought she couldn't act either. Then came Face of the Enemy. Then Second Chances. I was hugely impressed with her in both of them, and noticed a general increase in quality the rest of season 6 and 7, plus her appearances on VOY. Somehow putting her in an actual Starfleet uniform seemed to improve her acting abilities...

I think you're right. I never had a problem with her in Voyager and actually welcomed the shows in which she was in. As for Face of the Enemy, she wasn't troi which I think helped a lot. Still, there were some really big cringeworthy Sirtis moments in the series and this episode had most of them.

I think a good deal of it had to do with her getting better material to work with. I don't think there's any actor, no matter what their callibre, that could have done a thing with some of the rubbish Troi had to spout in earlier seasons of Trek.

My own picks:

Birthright II - Because it could probably have been tolerable enough as a one-parter, but the second half is just interminable. And Klingon episodes get so horribly stereotypey after a while, don't they?

Fistful of Datas - Never been that big a fan of the All Spiner, All the Time episodes, and FFoDs has him at his most scenery-masticating. Although, I love the start of the episode to bits.

Man of the People - Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Ouch.

I don't think there's a single episode in this season though that could really be called bad Trek.

Double Post. Sorry.

I'm planning to do that poll when we finish going through each season, although I have a pretty good idea which one I think will win.

Really didn't dislike any per se. Just had some that were least favourites because the storylines weren't quite so engaging as the rest of the season.
