Episodes you disregard

Threshold. The fact that even the writer considers it non-canon gives a perfect excuse to regard it as non-canon myself. There's just too much bad science and continuity errors to regard it as canonical. It's not the only bad episode in Trek, but it's easily the worst episode ever and the others have so little effect in canon that they are easy to simply ignore (like Shades of Grey).
- Where Silence has Lease - I still have no clue what it related to. 
- Ferengi episodes in DS9 - The Ferengi were poorly characterised in the series IMO. Practically every Ferengi episode was a comedy, or done for comic relief, to intersperse a dark Dominion War episode.
- Threshold, for reasons already stated in this thread.
- The Fight in Voyager - Chakotay getting symptoms of psychosis was odd when intermixed with his interest in boxing.

TATV. Demons/Terra Prime was the true Enterprise finale. TATV is watchable but a letdown after the rocking final season.
Spock's Brain and Turnabout Intruder. Both are so abysmal it's incredible. TI is plain misogynistic and downright painful to watch. The only good thing about SB is how creepy the brain-deprived Spock looks.

treshold was a bit off the mark, but it wasn't as malign as ' the mask', 'sacred ground', 'these are the voyages', and in particular 'darmok', which some misguided individuals perceive as masterpiece. then there are the cruelties, 'encounter at farpoint' comes to mind, every episode featuring marina sirtis prominently, 'the fight', and 'terra nova' from the other shows.

I'm grown up and pretending that an episode of a television series somehow didn't happen in my personal continuity of that series equals closing my ears and singing 'La, la, la, na, na, na'.
QFFT!
TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and any other episode where they travel to the galaxy's edge (WNMHGB has some cool moments, but it simply doesn't gel with the wider Trek lore), "The Alternative Factor" (for similar reasons as WNMHGB), "Spock's Brain".
TNG: "Justice", "Angel One", and "Shades of Gray".
DS9: "Little Green Men" (for some reason I dislike the notion that the Ferengi were the Roswell aliens), "Meridian".
VOY: "Threshold".
ENT: "Observer Effect", "These Are The Voyages..."
As for the movies, I currently have mixed feelings regarding V and XI.

^This. I chalk the events of episodes such as Threshold up along with other things that can't be explained. It isn't like the Trek Universe isn't full of that kind of thing (the stuff that contradicts itself, defies explanation, or just doesn't seemingly make sense in the larger scope.) If you're a fan of the majority of the Trek series you have to be comfortable with the idea that not every loose end can be tied in a knot.
Wow, so the quality episodes then? (I jest but seriously... everything that wasn't time travel or Q? In Voyager?)

I don't know how to explain it. I've seen all of DS9 and VOY but the only episodes I liked were Q or Time Travel, I have no idea why. I did like VOY a bit more than DS9, but I guess that is just because they were exploring. To me, compared to TOS, TNG, and ENT, DS9 and VOY are failures. I don't mean to offend anyone, it is just my opinion.
All of Enterprise. I only ever saw a dozen episodes at most, so it's true to say the rest never happened in this household. My only regret is there's a few minutes of Riker & Troi I've never seen, but I can live with that.
La La La, there were four Star Trek series...No. Because I'm grown up and pretending that an episode of a television series somehow didn't happen in my personal continuity of that series equals closing my ears and singing 'La, la, la, na, na, na'.
I just do not like them. All of the episodes of all of the series (though not sure about TAS) are a part of my personal continuity. I am far from being "canon strict" so any books or comics that have plausible story lines and are not contradicted by on-screen material are also "canon" to me as well.No, no, just an interesting take I hadn't heard before (though I haven't been here very long.But I mean you disregard them as in don't consider that they happened or you just didn't like them?

So I guess you disregard The Animated Series, too, eh?
There are SIX Trek series! (TAS counts)
