5:00..on the dot!

The five minute quick fix. Star Trek(s) isn't the only show to have them, but many fans point to it as a weakness sometimes with the stories. Can you name an episode from each series that you felt was the worst offender of the 'tie it all up in five minutes' writing strategy?

[FalTorPan]

"The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The massive Prophets ass-save in Sacrifice of Angels.

 

[Captain X]

Twilight.

 

[Harvey]

"The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"

What about "Family?"

"The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"

What about "Family?"

"Family" dealt with Picard's issues. "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" ended the Borg assault on Earth by... putting the Borg to sleep. I mean making them explode.

The massive Prophets ass-save in Sacrifice of Angels.

See from that writing team, and given the show as it was before and after this moment, I honestly believe they were writing to this conclusion all along.

TNG...
Best of Both Worlds

TNG
Starship Mine, I think. The old 'lets turn off the computer and reboot!!"

Perhaps that was used somewhere else too..but I thought it was weak.
