The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - SNW Final Rounds

[BlueStuff]

Here we have the winners and runners-up of each season - and now, it's time for the final rounds.

*RULES*

Give what you consider to be the worst/your least favourite episode ONE point, and briefly explain WHY. Be sure to copy and paste the list with your point added. When an episode reaches 4 points, it is eliminated. Then a NEW round begins (in this thread) with the numbers restored to 0. Vote ONCE per round. If 48 hours without a vote passes, the episode currently leading in points will be eliminated, and a new round will begin. And enjoy!

My first vote is fpr Four and a Half Vulcans.

I just didn't find it funny, and it just tried my patience throughout.

Agreed. I’m surprised Vulcans won season 3. It was okay but the stuff with Patton Oswalt just didn’t work for me.

Voting for "Subspace Rhapsody".

I don't like musicals.

Through the Lens of Time is too convoluted. I like both Four and a Half Vulcans and Subspace Rhapsody.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I think Memento Mori is the weakest of this crop.

There were some funny moments in Four-and-a-Half Vulcans, but there were also a number that fell flat for me too. Definitely the weakest of the group in my opinion.

It’s funny how people have such different preferences. When I saw the list, I wondered why Memento Mori is even in contention. It’s by far one of my top five favorite episodes of the three seasons. I wondered why some of the others were missing. I thoroughly dislike Lift Me Where No Suffering Can Reach, for example, and have never rewatched it.

If you like Memento Mori that much, then you’re saying it SHOULD be on the list.

I'll give "Four and a Half Vulcans" it's 4th vote. The Vulcan humour episodes just don't work for me.

I'm putting my vote toward Shuttle to Kenfori. We learned a few interesting things about M'Benga, which is good, but I think it's the weakest of the selection we have at the moment.

[Uhura's Song]

Man, I usually am pretty close on what I think the winners should be, but I'd have gone a lot of different directions on SNW.

Ad Astra Per Aspera not on the list but 4.5 Vulcans is? That is wildly opposite my take. Spock Amok & Charades are MUCH better comedy epd than 4.5, which is the worst ep of the series in my book.

Anyway, onwards. I give a point to Shuttle to Kenfori. A percectly OK episode but hardly outstanding.

"Quality Of Mercy" again. I hate its "sometimes violence is what you need!" message. So un-Trek. I even think this might have worked for a regular episode, but as the season one finale and culmination of the main story arc for the lead?

Shuttle to Kenfori. Basically I think both of these S3 episodes are the worst remaining.

I agree with an earlier statement that Lens is too convoluted for its own good.
