The one episode I would delete from the canon...

[Wolfslice]

is Hard Time. And I know it's a fan favorite, but I would do the same to Inner Light in TNG. Allow me to explain:

Imagine the effect 20 years of "living another life" would have on you. Would have on your personality and the rest of your life. But in both these cases the characters were literally fine by the next episode! Would you be fine?!

The funny thing is, as Inner Light is one of Stewart's finest acting moments, Hard Time is EASILY the best performance Meany gave during his run. It is so sad that these episodes were never followed through properly. Ok Picard plays his little flute a couple of times, but it was not nearly enough.

If I was a producer on the show, I would have fought so hard to add just one line at the end:

"I can already feel the memories beginning to fade..."

 

[JNG]

"Threshold" and I'll wager I don't have to explain.

Does it have to be just from DS9? I know there are some episodes people really don't like (Move Along Home, Let He Who Is Without Sin, Profit and Lace), but I don't think I could bring myself to delete any of those...

On a more general scale, I'd say These Are The Voyages, but it's not really canon, is it?

I'd say Bound or possibly Concerning Flight or Workforce, Natural Law, Endga... most of season 7 of Voyager to be honest. I just don't think it was a very good season, and didn't really lend much to the show or the franchise.

(In its defence though, The Void is a brilliant episode)

 

[Wolfslice]

aye, you don't...

but Threshold was just a shit episode. There have been plenty of those. You watch it, laugh at it and move on.

But Hard Times (annnd Inner Light) were good episodes that lacked respect for character continuity. They nag at me, episodes later.

I wouldn't delete any of those either, I think. Even the bad Trek is still Trek. It's the contradicting Trek that sends me into "nerd fits".

That "Trill" in TNG was no Trill.

"Rascals"

Because it depicted Riker as a terrible tactician, Worf as a lousy security officer and the flagship of the Federation as a minor weakling ship.

In the case of Hard Time--I did think that should've been followed up on more. Unless O'Brien's treatment involved some sort of memory suppressant or meditation that helped him repress it. Though in THAT case, it could've made a good plot point to have him lose that control at some later point, and have that other life resurface violently.

In the case of The Inner Light...that one might have been easier to reconcile. I got the idea that Kaymin (sp?) was very close to Picard in terms of personality. Nor was the life he experienced that awful. And I have to wonder if the people of Kataan were able to design their probe to convey its experiences in a less disruptive way, since their intent was to educate rather than to punish. Don't know any of this, of course--just speculating.

Personaly I'd say the entire Voyager series

 

[dave_R_treker]

I would agree with These are the Voyages..

It should be deleted for many many many many reasons. The biggest reason being that it is and will probly always will be THE WORST episode EVER

Voyager and Enterprise both had potential. But I would actually be more inclined to delete Voyager than Enterprise. The latter could've been salvaged with a major overhaul and had a LOT of good ideas, but the former--it just felt superfluous, especially once Seven came aboard.

But for a single-episode stinker, I do agree with "These are the Voyages."

Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night

Really bad title, really bad story. Kira wants to kill her mother in the past? Dukat is like 100 years old? Rubbish story and the weakest of the Bajor Past stories.

 

[DonIago]

^Given that I don't think we have any onscreen evidence to refute Cardassians being long-lived, what's wrong with Dukat being 100?

 

[LeadHead]

From DS9, "Meridian" without a doubt. In general TATV, and Voyager season 6.

 

[Photon]

Though I hate Move Along Home, it belongs in canon but.........
the one where Bashir is an old man being pursed by the bad guy on the station sucked

I would delete "Melora" -at least Meridian had the funny B-plot. I know what they were trying to do with Melora... it just really failed to me.

 

[Damask]

Nothing per se but it still irks me. They were trying for a Dukat wants Kira to love him vibe and then we find out that he was with her mother when she was a child.

To me, that actually makes Dukat's infatuation with Kira all the sicker. He was with her mother and now he wants the daughter, too. What a perv.

..also TAS and ENT. Plastic space bunnies and cheap animation do not a great Star Trek make.

 

[TeutonicNights]

Melora at least had that priceless scene with the Klingon chef.

^ LOL, I'd forgotten about that... ^^ I agree with NG, but thats just soooo creepy! Just... ewwww! Someone shoot him...
