Biggest insulting slap-in-the-face episode for fans?
- Thread starter I am not Spock
- Start date
Well, if it's a straight choice......
I watched the first few episodes. I loved the classic Buster Crabbe version of Flash Gordon. It's innocent, charming, and above all, fun, just mindless fun. I really hoped that the Sci-Fi version would be able to retain even a measure of the older version's tone and charm.
Sadly, IMO, it's worse than Andromeda and Mutant X. Much worse, and that's saying a lot!

The Measure of a Man, The Offspring, obvious choices, Chain of Command, The Drumhead, Frame of Mind.
Having said that though, there's little wrong with The Inner Light either.
Let me guess, you'd rather have The Dauphin or Shades of Gray right?
Ouch man - The Dauphin Shades of Gray.... very ouch....
well we agree these episodes are awful
Wow!! 12 pages? Who would have thought?
Code of Honor was so blatantly fowl that I thought that I couldn't possibly take it at face value. I mean how could people who brought us such ideas as infinite diversity, infinite combinations produce such a turd of prejudice? MAybe they meant for it to spark discussion? Perhaps there was some fine point of logic it brough up that I am incapable of grasping...?
Nope... it was just a plain ol' turd.
Crap, I can't believe I forgot about Firefly. I love FF/S.

I actually liked Andromeda for the first 3 or 4 years. On the other hand, what I saw of season 5 was just weird shit.
I remember checking out the first few episodes, in fact I probably watched the whole first season before I was inclined to write it off. Many years later I randomly came across an episode from, I believe, the fifth season. My God it was awful! It was very nearly in the category of "It's that bad, it's funny, hence good!". Sadly, it was so poor, it was beyond even that!
Andromeda, EFC & Mutant X - The Goddam fcuking axis of evil!

I caught one ep. and the aliens where trying to teach the human guy their language. I laughed my ass off on how stupid it was. You just know the actors read the script and were like: "You must be out your mind! I'm getting paid well for this, right? If not you better look into serving steak & lobster at the service table because I ain't doing it for anything less."
Well the last I saw there were the Taelons, and their enemy (I forget the name of their race now). When I saw the episode from the fifth season, the protagonists looked like something off of a kids tv show. Cheap, tacky and almost laughable in their execution.
At least they didn't have Kev Sorbo hamming it up though I guess!

All I can remember was the first season (I actually liked it then). But now that I look back on it that show was the biggest piece of cow pie I've ever watched.
Caretaker - Because it made it very clear that the supposed Starfleet vs Maquis conflict actually was not going to take place during the series and they would all be boring Starfleet cookie cutter officers.
Broken Bow - Because all my expectations for the series died in that episode. It never improved. At that point I knew the series would not make it to seven seasons. I was quite correct.

The initial season of Earth: Final Conflict was excellent. Between its final episode and the first of season two, though, it began a swift, almost instantaneous devolution. It lost me about a fifth of the way through that year; when I, on rare occasion over the rest of the series' run, tuned in again in hopes they'd recaptured their form, I invariably found it had only gotten worse. What a shame: I think most of those who (rightly) mock it now have forgotten that, for a single season, it was intriguing and eminently watchable.
Andromeda seems to be reviled by most and revered by a loyal core of zealots. I've seen a number of episodes, and am not surprised at the wildly divergent takes. It's ... let's say 'idiosyncratic.'
Never saw Mutant X, unless that's the one with John Shea and Victoria Pratt. If so, well ... I always thought it two-thirds a notch above Jason of Star Command and Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl.
