Episodes that are considered "good" that you actually dislike

[Fred1701]

Maybe Picard can make you a bowl of vegetable stew and you'll feel better about Inner Light. Doubt it. I too hated it too. Tribbles is Kirk's most boring adventure.

'Tribbles' was approached as a light comedy.
It had the great fight scene between the Enterprise crew and the Klingons and even during the fight was the whimsical music and Sereno Jones helping himself to free cocktails til the barkeeper took it from him, he then simply reaches into his pocket and takes another!
It's good to have some variety in a Series.
Fighting Romulans and Klingons may be exciting but week after week it gets montonous.
"A Piece of the Action" was another less serious episode that worked as well.
A steady diet of it? NO...

THAT'S WHAT THE ORVILLE IS FOR!!

The episode would have worked only if the ramifications of Picard’s decision (good, bad or otherwise) had played out on screen. Ultimately, his decision to show the Borg mercy amounted to nothing.

They did show us what happened, in the two-parter Descent.

Tribbles is Kirk's most boring adventure.

There are several episodes that can rightly be called boring. Tribbles ain't one of them. It's not everyone's cup of tea but boring it isn't.

Yup, the drones followed Donald Tru..., err I mean, Lore to their demise.

Didn’t the humanization end up being Hugh’s demise anyway? Like what was the point of all that

Technically no because Hugh then shows up in that later two part Lore/Data episode. As I recall, it was Picard's hope that Hugh's individuality would spread among the collective but it wouldn't lead to his demise.

I like Orville but I think its a little too irreverent at times and that's jarring for me.

Irreverent, How?

Hugh saved the crew, so the “favor” was returned.

"The Devil in the Dark" and "Arena" are some of the few from the original series that feel pretty stiltedly dated yet a lot of people seem to like them a lot.
"Schisms"-often considered pretty good horror, to me it felt way, way too random and stretched out.
"The Andorian Incident"-often considered a highlight or at least fan favorite which I very much disliked, it seemed to have no purpose behind yay seeing the Andorians again now with modern makeup, Shran and the others being brutal and Archer, as usual, pretty incompetent and unlikeable (and T'Pol also as usual unlikeable). The end twist was kind of OK but didn't justify the rest.

I meant long-term consequences. Ultimately, Picard’s decision to spare the Borg didn’t prevent the Collective from attacking the Federation again.

In the grand scheme of things, there was no long-term consequence beyond the Borg losing a few drones.

I think the entire concept of A Piece of the Action to be illogical. It's not one I rewatch. I know its popular, but I have no interest in it.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Orville is a lot of things, and one of them is that it’s reverent to a flaw.

I’m having trouble thinking of episodes considered good I actively dislike. Some I would call overrated but not bad.

 

[Herbert]

Sorry, didn't mean irreverent. Meant juvenile

It is fun. We aren't allowed to have that in Star Trek.

Scientific Method (episode 75) - Voyager.

Great episode. Crew being probed by cloaked aliens and having all forms of experiments done on them. Petrifying as hell!! Dunno why. Watched it once, can never watch it again. How people find the Borg scary, when you have cloaked aliens doing experiments...

(Or any kazon episode. Boring!!!)

Very similar to a TNG episode whose name escapes me at the moment. Maybe "Schisms"?

EDIT: Yep, it is "Schisms", from season six.

The Darmok one. Never liked it. That whole "speaking in metaphors" thing just sounds silly to me.

I rewatched this one the other day, and found it more irritating than anything. I understand what they were going for, but it was rough.

I hate "The Inner Light" with every fiber of my being.

I wouldn't say I hate it. But I don't think it's anything special. And the music is nothing special either, despite Chattaway spending the rest of his life patting himself on the back for it. Shure, it's a pretty enough series of notes, but there are millions of those.

And I can't believe someone actually paid $40,000 for that recorder.
