Worst Episode of Trek Overall - RUNOFF

[Garth Rockett]

Well, the poll to determine TrekBBS's least favorite episode ended in a tie, so a runoff is needed. Please vote for your least favorite of the two episodes in the poll. Thank you for your participation.

I didn't vote for either episode in the earlier round. I don't mind "And the Children Shall Lead" (although casting Melvin Belli was not a good idea), so I guess I'll go with TATV.

 

[Garth Rockett]

I'm sticking with my pick from last time, And The Children Shall Lead.

TATV

Not only was it a bad episode, it had "Fuck you!" written all over it and that's just stupidly unprofessional and a real low point in TV history.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

TATV was a bad finale with a thin plot, but I don't even consider it the worst Enterprise episode. ATCSL was cringe-worthy throughout, horribly cast for the villian, etc.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I liked TATV

 

[greenmystik]

Same here. I knew it was disliked, but I didn't know it was disliked that much. I think there's worst episodes out there than TATV.

Exactly.

I went with TATV because I like it less than Children, but I have several other episodes I consider worse than those.

 

[Mallory]

TATV is a bad episode. But And the Children Shall Lead was an horrible abomination inflicted on all mankind.

 

[TrekNut87]

And The Children Shall Lead without a doubt. How this ever made it to the airways, I'll never know.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

TATV!

There are things worse than Melvin Belli in a mu-mu!

 

[Tralah]

Eh, I don't think either of these are the WORST episode though both are quite bad. I went TATV because I just don't remember "Children" annoying me as much as some people do, but I was very much annoyed by TATV.

 

[chancellorjake]

I hated These Are The Voyages for it's massive character assassination of Shran, Riker, and Trip, but I voted for And The Children Shall Lead, because it was truly awful. The ginger kid was super creepy and the part where the children start crying was truly embarrassing.

 

[Trekwatcher]

TATV had some genuinely awful moments, but the shuttlepod scene and the coda with the various starships accompanied by the voice over from the captains are saving graces to me. ATCSL is just painful beyond compare and I am not sure there is much to recommend in that one at all.

I don't hate either one of these episodes, but, being a TOS loyalist, I voted for TATV.

As a TOS loyalist, I voted for ATCSL, to paraphrase Spock (and Dickens): It was the best of Trek, it was the worst of Trek.
