Badda-Bing Badda-Bang: OH. MY. GOD. Its worse than the "Trapped in the Holodeck" episodes. Especially since it has Vic Fontain. I want to commit suicide whenever I hear his terrible music.

He ruined the final episode for me what with the cast having their "goodbye party" in his "lounge". FFS. "SHOOT THE FREAKING HOLO-EMITTERS SOMEONE PLEASE!"

Prodigal Daughter. Only bad episode in this season. So average.

Covenant

Dukat reached the lowest point of his character arc here. Just a painful episode to watch.

The Emperor's New Cloak, because I didn't find it funny and it's over the top even by MU standards.

Shadows and Symbols, because Sisko is Space Jesus, and the Prophets ruthlessly manipulate humans and raped a human woman so she could be a vessel for their offspring, and this is why they're the good guys. Wait, why exactly am I supposed to think they're the good guys?

I freaking lol'd.

At the risk of incurring some wrath, The Siege of AR-558. Possibly the most overrated episode of Trek ever. The only worthwhile moments are those with Quark philosophizing. The rest is a collection of dull war movie cliches and people relearning lessons they already learned in earlier, better, episodes.

I doubt Mary did.

'Extreme Measures'

The weakest of the Final Chapter, and it sticks out like a sore thumb since it could only focus on O'Brien/Bashir, instead of havin' three or four plots runnin' through it like the rest of the final episodes.

 

[Rush Limborg]

^Yep--AND, Sloan was captured by Bashir WAY too easily. So, we're supposed to accept that Sloan CONVENIENTLY forgot to do what he did in "Inter Arma" and lock down Julian's computer and companel?

I removed "Take Me Out to the Holosuite". It was okay, and I like the concept of the mains playing baseball...but somehow, the Vulcan was being very illogical and, dare I say it, emotional with his constant bragging, gloating, and bloviating to Sisko. Also, I don't care for the characters making such a big deal over Sisko getting Rom off the team. While Ben was a bit too hard on him--still, if he's too incompetent to play, he's too incompetent to play!

(That being said, I loved Ezri showing off her skills with the "Fancy Dan"--and her unintentionally sexy lines and mannerisms in the beginning of the infirmary scene. It almost makes up for the flaws of the ep.

Almost....)

When It Rains... This always felt like a fairly weak part of the Final Chapter (although, sandwiched in between The Changing Face Of Evil and Tacking Into The Wind...)

Dogs of War - because they utterly destroy Ferengi society. I liked that the Ferengi were a race that was completely "not like" the Federation. Then they make Rom the Grand Nagus (seriously?!) and turn them into a welfare society - ugh!

'Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges'

'cause it made Admiral Ross kind of a bad guy, and used those gawd awful white dress uniforms.

 

[DevilEyes]

That's one of the best episodes of the season, IMO. At least you make it easier for me to decide what I want to win...

Afterimage. Eh, it's OK I guess, as far as episodes focusing on a new character go, but really nothing that special, especially compared to the Final arc and Treachery, Faith and the Great River.
