Best and Worst episode from each series?

Not what is commonly perceived as the best and worst but the episodes you most and least enjoy watching

TOS: I will go for Spock's Brain as worst and Trouble with the tribbles as best

TNG: Tough one, i guess i'll pick Tin Man as the worst (dont ask why i just hate it) and Lower Decks as the best

DS9: Again, tough but i'll pick The Seige of Ar 558 as favorite and q-less as the worst (sorry Q but you got shoehorned in)

VGR: Tough because there are so many candidates for worst, but lets go with good old Threshold, as for best hmm, futures end

ENT: Terra Nova for worst and it's not even close, and best would be carbon creek, i love that episode
 
I took the liberty of listing my favorites vs. best/worst since quality is often a matter of opinion rather than an objective evaluation.

Best: Balance of Terror
Worst: Turnabout Intruder

Best: Best of Both Worlds
Worst: The Outcast

DS9:

VOY=

BEST- "Scorpion"

WORST- "Course:oblivion"

Voy's Worst: Pretty much the whole first season. Just turn it on when you have trouble sleeping; it puts you out like a baby when I hit the sack. I practically slept through the entire first season. [chuckle] I had to watched reruns several seasons later because I missed out the entire season catching some Z's.

Let's see what is the best of Voy and other series... Well, I have to think about this because I have not seen Trek in quite a while...with the exception of ST: VI, only because it came on the Sci-Fi Channel.
 
Someone mentioned VOY's "The Fight" as a least fave. You know what's funny? I hated that ep. the first time I saw it, and when I watched it again years later, I found out that it was just "meh", not awful. I would put dozens of VOY eps below it in quality, including eps that I actually liked the first time around, such as "Caretaker", "Tattoo", "Tsunkatse", "Before and After", "Endgame" and many, many more.
 
TOS:

Best: Naked Time
Worst: Spock's Brain

TNG:

Best: The Pegasus
Worst: The Inner Light

DS9:
Best: The Visitor
Worst: Profit and Lance

VOY:
Best: The Q and the grey
Worst: Someone to Watch Over Me

ENT (I'm not as familiar with ENT as I am with the other series :( so these are just the best and the worst that I've seen):

Best: Doctor's Orders
Worst: Extinction

Also, unlike many people I loved the majority of Voyager, but its bad episodes were definately the worst episodes of the franchise, atleast that I've seen. Someone to Watch Over Me was painful to watch. I like Seven of Nine, and I'm a big fan of the Doctor, but it may be the worst Star Trek episode I've ever seen. Before I saw it, Inner Light held that title.
