You're going through a rewatch of your favorite Trek series and ugh... You've rolled around to THAT episode again. It's surely one of the worst ST episodes ever produced. How can anyone find this one entertaining?
And yet... It does have that one thing you really like in it. Maybe it's a line of dialogue or even an entire scene. Maybe there's a cool new ship design. Maybe there's some great costuming or a guest actor gives a really great performance. Whatever it is, you'll suffer through the rest of the episode for that one bit.
TNG's "Skin of Evil" is pretty worthless as an episode, largely due to the oil slick creature coming off as more goofy than scary, but the memorial service for Tasha Yar is pretty damn great. If the rest of the story that been that affecting, this could have been a memorable episode and a real tearjerker.
And, like most other Trek fans, I hate "These Are The Voyages." The "valentine to the fans" ENT finale has a multitude of flaws, from sidelining the main cast in favor of Riker and Troi, a random, underwhelming death for Trip Tucker, a plot tie-in with "The Pegasus" that makes no sense... But that last montage of the various Enterprises and the weaving together of the Picard, Kirk, and Archer voiceovers is utterly perfect.
What are some episodes you dislike except for ONE thing you really love?
