Episodes that put you to sleep?

Tyjos Azari

I know there are those episodes from all the Star Trek Series the ones that you've seen so many times or are just sleep inducing.....

For me it's

"Encounter at Farpoint."

Seen it so many times over the years it's like I'll be asleep 20 minutes in.....
 
VOY: The Fight.

This is the only episode to actually put me to sleep. On the first viewing, no less. And it did it twice. No kidding.
 
Anything with Klingon politics in it.

Bores the hell out of me.

I could beat them all up with my little finger, anyway.
 
#1 would be Voyager's 11:59. I've never seen Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman, but for some weird reason that's what I imagine it would be like. Not bad writing or anything, just way too slow and boring for my ADD ass.

The Fight and Tsunkatse are up there as well.

Enough picking on Voyager...


sleep inducing TNG: anything with Troi romance, or any of the other handful of soap opera episodes.

sleep inducing DS9: I would say Valiant, but since "bad" and "boring" can be two different things, the awfulness of this actually keeps me quite awake. I really can't think of a DS9 ep right now that actually bores me.

sleep inducing ENT: A Night in Sickbay
 
There are several episodes that could bring on sleep after repeat viewings, but I actually fell asleep during VOY's original airing of "11:59". The only other time I think that happened was with TOS's "The Empath", but I was only six years old at the time. I'm pretty sure I could fall asleep right now if I put on "11:59", TNG's "Masks" or ENT's "Precious Cargo"
 
TNG's "Sub-Rosa"--Crusher's ghost story episode. Fell asleep halfway through and never slept better...
 
TNG: The Masterpiece Society.

Most Troi-related episodes put me to sleep, except for perhaps The Loss where her loud mouth would keep you awake.
 
TOS: The Deadly Years

TNG: Shades of Grey

DS9: Profit and Lace

VOY: Death Wish

ENT: Chosen Realm
 
VOY: The Fight.
This is the only episode to actually put me to sleep. On the first viewing, no less. And it did it twice. No kidding.

Admiral Shran:

Ha, ha, ha...
Yeah, I literally feel asleep on the first viewing of this, too. Such a horrid and boring episode.

Encounter at Farpoint is another snooze fest.
 
I swear Encounter at Farpoint is a Snooze Fest....I literally conk out if if it starts up on TV.
 
I've been diggin' first season TNG, Syfy been's playing it. Last night was Symbosis, such a cheesey anti-drug fest, but it was great. Crusher's acting was so hammy, but i enjoyed it very much.

Requiem for Methuselah

Dark Page
Thine Own Self

Progress
Rules of Acquisition
The Collaborator
Meridian
