The Most Disliked Episode of VOYAGER - Season 2...

Dreadnought, as it was a nice, tense piece, and it helped provide what would be a kick-ass weapon in Star Trek: Armada II.

I'm torn between saving the two remaining Kes episodes on the list, neither of which are good, but both of which I give points for effort. I think I'll go with "Elogium." Wildman's pregnancy was the right kind of idea for Voyager, they should have done more stories in this vein. None of the stuff with Kes really works, but at least it's a different type of alien plot. I liked the effects in the ship-in-jeopardy B story.

Also, eesh, the rest of this list! Aside from "Cold Fire", any of the rest of these would make a satisfying final-round "winner" for me.

Ummmm.... I already saved “Investigations,” was I not allowed to participate or something? I’m confused. Assuming I am allowed to be a part of this, I save “Parturition,” still love that food fight scene and Janeways reaction is priceless.

Sometimes episodes get accidentally re-added from people posting at just about the same time, or some cut & paste error, or what-have-you. We try to keep an eye on it. Just an accident, you're definitely allowed to participate!

 

Non-Sequitur, as I always like stories that give us a look at 24th century Earth.

I noticed when "Investigations" was accidentally re-added, "Resolutions" was accidentally eliminated. So let me take this turn to re-add and then immediately eliminate "Resolutions" -- as much as I hate Chakotay, this was one of the better outings for him.

And order is now restored.

Ew, what wonderful episodes to save.

I'll save Twisted, after much thought. It's a pretty dumb one, but it has some good dialogue in it.

THRESHOLD

 

Initiations gives the Kazons some backstory, which is about as much credit as I can give to any of the remaining episodes.

TATTOO
COLD FIRE
THRESHOLD

 

And I've got to slip in for one more and save "Cold Fire." This one has some obvious problems, but I love mental-powers-going-crazy stories!

TATTOO
THRESHOLD

 

It has to be Threshold as the worst this season, so I'll save Tattoo. Tattoo has some misguided spiritual assessment of Chakotay, whereas the writers were either on crack, or maybe not enough, when they wrote Threshold.

To be fair, it has unintentional, campy humour to make it a little easier to rewatch.

 

Damn, beating as I was typing. I was choosing the reverse for the good character beats for Tom.

"THRESHOLD" is declared the 'winner' of season 2. Thank you all for playing. I'll start season 3 soon.

 

I tried to rewatch "Threshold" recently, thinking it would be fun.

It was not!

 

I find it to be one of the 'better' bad episodes, like Spock's Brain or Genesis.
