Best Episode of Season 3, Part 2

[Michael]

Okay, this is part two. What's your favorite episode out of those five?

This poll is open for two days.

Scorpion gets my vote. It not only effectively used the Borg in a way that didn't feel like a BoBW retread but it energized the series and gave me some hope after a very weak third season. It isn't a flawless episode but it is still excellent in my mind.

You had the perfect teaser of the unseen attackers destroying two cubes; the little realistic touches--Janeway reviewing the logs of captains who engaged the Borg, Neelix preparing rations given they are entering Borg space, the Doctor studying the Borg corpse to find a way to fend off assimilation; Chakotay's ominous "My God" at the sight of fifteen cubes; Species 8472 were a visually stunning race; liked the idea of a race more powerful than the Borg; Janeway/Chakotay showdown. The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the DaVinci scenes.

^ Your number one is my number one too.

Scorpion, no question.

 

[JayTheTrekkie]

Again, Scorpian is the winner!

 

[Geck]

Scorpion was VOY's best Season finale, and probably one of their best eps overall, but I cast my vote for Remember, which I find incredibly moving and features an amazing performance from Roxann Dawson.

Worst Case Scenario
Remember

Scorpion

 

[Natural]

Worst Case Scenario

Scorpion definitely kept me interested, but the ending ruined it for me.

 

[KayArr]

Remember with Distant Origin just behind.

 

[Kio]

Ack, I've forgotten which plots go with these titles again. I can't believe I'm the only one, so for anyone who needs their memory jogged -

Remember - B'lana receives alien memories of a love affair and social upheaval
Before and After - Kes starts as a old woman and jumps backward through time
Distant Origin - Chakotay runs into aliens descended from earth's dinos
Worst Case Scenario - Tuvok's holoprogram of a Maquie mutiny becomes popular
Scorpion - Janeway forms an alliance with the Borg against species 8472

I'm voting for Worst case Scenario, it was just a really fun episode.

I'm voting for Worst case Scenario, it was just a really fun episode.

Agreed. I love me some Seska!

I'm voting for Worst case Scenario, it was just a really fun episode.

The look on Tuvie's face after Janeway walks back into Engineering to prove it's all an illusion is just priceless:

"Bad Captain, no coffee!"

 

[TrekNut87]

Before and After followed by Worst Case Scenario and Scorpion.

I actually really liked Distant Origin.
