The best episode of Voyager - Part Four

[BlueStuff]

Okay Trek fans, this game was successful on the TNG and DS9 boards, and I hope it prospers here as well. Here's the game. The basic idea is your standard elimination game. I'll provide a list of the episodes for each season and you need to eliminate your least favorite or the one you deem the 'worst.' Please provide an EXPLANATION for why you are eliminating your choice and be sure to copy and paste the list with your choice removed. Finally, leave at least 2 eliminations by other posters before you play again. Not a very accurate way of determining the best episode, but a fun game nonetheless. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

Season One - State of Flux
Season Two - Projections
Season Three - Before and After
Season Four -

Eliminating Revulsion. All the romance subplots, and especially Seven/Kim, actually made me feel the episode title all too well.

Removing Vis á Vis. The out of body thing has been done so many times before and this one was just uninvolving.

Say Goodbye to Year of Hell I. Good Concept but too mediocre on the approach

Removing the ironically titled Unforgettable. Nemesis was actually pretty good - THIS was the dull Chakotay episode of the season.

I'll remove Waking Moments. Another one-trick episode. I don't hate it, but I don't think it works as well as it could have.

Removing The Raven, because that one was never really able to hold my interest.

 

[Tiberius]

I do like how the Raven has the flashbacks to Seven being assimilated. Interesting for that at least.

Mortal Coil has got to go. The first of many uses of nanoprobes. Ugh

I'm gonna kick out Random Thoughts. I didn't really buy Tuvok acting like that...

Removing One. This episode kind of freaks me out everytime I see it. That, and I think I was getting a little tired of all the 7 of 9 episodes at this point in the season (those still going on to like the character).

I've deleted Scientific Method. Aside from Janeway hilariously being pushed to the edge near the end, and a few Tom/B'Elanna scenes, this episode is dull.

Removing Day of Honor - I like B'Elanna episodes, but this one's a bit slow moving (and annoyingly slow-talking, while Tom and B'Elanna are stuck in space).

I'll take out The Killing Game (II). Ridiculous holodeck hijinks with no logic, and I was ready to say bye to the Hirogen by now.
