Sayonara to Parallels. It was an interesting slant on what ordinarily would have been a time paradox episode, but the characters that it featured, & their story in it were rather uninteresting.

Overall, not much to dig your teeth into, except we now know that there are 3 planets titled Forcas, pronounced (Fork-Us). That's almost as funny as Uranus

My vote goes to Lower Decks. The only "lower decks" characters that appealed to be were Jaxa and Ogawa, both because we had already met them. The other three did exactly nothing for me. Also, Riker comes off as an ass.

My vote is to eliminate Timescape, fun episode but probably the weakest of the episodes remaining.

All of the remaining episodes are quality shows, but if I were forced to pick my least favourite of the remaining it'd be A Matter of Honor. If I had to give a deeper reason it's probably be something about Wesley's casual racism and Mendon's obsequious forgiveness of it. Though in doing so I'd at best be making a mountain out of a mole-hill and at worst completely misinterpreting the scene.

I'm going to have to go with Ship in a Bottle this time. While all in all no bad episode by any means, I found the character of Moriarty to grow more into the insufferable genius archetype every few minutes - and that concubine of his felt like the epitome of bland to me. Combined, it made for a woefully trite antagonist line-up dragging down an episode that had its good share of moments.

Just a quick intervention as Pseudo suggested that his vote was going to "A Matter of Honor" and yet (I assume accidentally) cast his vote for "The Measure of a Man" instead, so I'll fix that.

I'll vote again for "Ship in a Bottle", echoing my sentiments from last time. Moriarty = dumb, and an annoying lack of consequences and story continuity compared to some other episodes here.

Indeed, oops. Thanks for correcting it.

I'm going to have to go ahead and vote to eliminate A Matter of Honor. While I liked the parts with Riker aboard the Pagh, the Mendon story did kind of grate on me, and I too noticed a bit of racism in Wesley the last time I watched it a couple weeks ago, though it may not have been intentional.

I'm going to knock Lower Decks with a vote. It's concept was rather refreshing, & it really picked up toward the end, when they started putting things together, but until then, the only really interesting exchanges featuring one of the junior officers was with Sito & Picard. The rest was a bit bland

I'm pretty sure if she had lived, she would have gotten the job over that whiny tool

 

[Geck]

Time to toss A Matter of Honor - I had forgotten completely about the Wes/Mendon subplot, which does drag the ep down a bit.

Still tossing my vote in for Lower Decks. Some good stuff in it, but an equal amount of... meh

Says the man with the Code of Honor avatar.

"Timescape" again. I really like the episode, but it's a pretty throwaway adventure. Definitely not top ten episode material.

I have to add another point to Lower Decks. Not a bad episode, but my least fave from that list.

[CoveTom]

Yeah, I'm gonna give the final eliminating vote to "Lower Decks." Not a bad episode in and of itself, but it's certainly not on par with the others listed and, honestly, I'm not real interested in a character piece on one-off characters (save Ogawa).

[Admiral Shran]

Damn, I wanted to eliminate Lower Decks. Oh well.

This time I'll vote for The Inner Light - a decent episode, but MASSIVELY overrated.

[Tiberius]

I have no doubt that The Best of Both Worlds is gonna win.

And no voting for it just to spite me!

 

[Canadave]

"Timescape" again. It's probably not even in my top 25-30 episodes, to be honest.

Well, it's about I cast a vote for Timescape. It's good, & I like it, but it's certainly not better than anything else on this list
