The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - VOY Final Rounds

[Brennyren]

"Year of Hell I," again. Because there's nothing like an episode that tries to manipulate you into caring, only to not matter to anyone, including the characters, ever after.

State of Flux. I know it gives us Seska, the villainess they didn't know VOY needed (obviously, since they killed her off 1-1/2 years later). But it's less fun than the others.

Deadlock is next due to the lack of consequences after the end of the episode.

Can't argue with the lack of consequences in Deadlock.

Poor B&A. The episode where VOY showed better character development in 45 minutes than it would in 7 seasons.

Ah well. Voting against "State of Flux" again.

[Farscape One]

I am torn between two choices, both being excellent episodes, but both having a reset button done to it in the very next episode, having no consequences whatsoever.

Voting for "YEAR OF HELL".

Because I can't fault "DEADLOCK" for the next episode having the ship looking brand new again. And because "YEAR OF HELL" was still within the same story for part 2, and it deals with time travel... which I'm just sick of. (I will say Annorax's use of time itself as a weapon was innovative.) Plus, the reset button was built in for this story.

I’ll also strike against Deadlock, a fun hour for S2 but not one I’d list among Voyager’s finest.

One Small Step - another one whose inclusion on the list surprises me (seems to be a common theme with Voyager, every time).

[Seven of Five]

Seemed to be a Chakotay story, then became a Seven one.

Mostly good apart from that.

[Sakonna]

Now that "Deadlock" is finally dead, I'll also go "One Small Step" this time. I basically like it, but it has too much Chakotay.

[Takeru]

I've tried to get rid of One Small Step for so many rounds and now you almost do it while I'm not looking. Thankfully I'm here in time to eliminate it.

For the next round I vote Year of Hell Part 1, I like it but it's only half a story

I’d like to begin targeting these season 1 episodes, starting with State of Flux.
