The least disliked episode 2021 - TNG Final Rounds

Data's Day is a splendid episode, but the lesser of those remaining.

This is getting hard, I like all of the remaining episodes. I'll vote for BOBW 1 because without part 2 it's an incomplete story. That it was written without a conclusion in mind also feels a bit like cheating because it's easy to create drama when you write yourself into a corner intentionally and decide to figure out how to resolve the story over the summer.

So my vote now goes to Data's Day. It's a fun episode, with Data learning to dance my favorite part. It's just not as good as the others, though.

"Cause And Effect" again for the same reasons as before.

Data's Day is out. Fun little episode, but a little too inconsequential, even with the fleeting mention of its events in "The Drumhead".

First vote of the next round goes to Lower Decks. Nothing really terribly wrong with it, just the least memorable of the remaining episodes.

I'm going after Q Who? this time around. A great episode - just not great enough. I prefer all of the others.

"Cause and Effect" had perhaps the best teaser in TNG, but the rest of the episode wasn't on the same level -- sorry, Kelsey Grammar! Also, how can you be stuck in a time loop for days (the Enterprise) or decades (the Bozeman)? If it's a loop, don't you exit at the same time you entered?

Lower Decks because I don't like what they did to Sito, she deserved better.

I like all of them, but TBOBW without p2 is an incomplete story and imho that is a major disadvantage compared to the rest of the episodes.

Yeah, it's like Nitrate without Glycerine, it doesn't have any explosive value.
 
Never mind the reuse of Kirk movie era uniforms, there's too much dilettante soap suds drama in "Yesterday's Enterprise" with that goofy libidoswapfest developing between Yar and old-enough-to-be-her-daddy-there Castillo. In fact, here is the secondmost cringey scene of the bunch that proves the actors knew it was cringey too:

TBoBW. The beginning of the end of the Borg as unique.

This is a very hard choice. Lower Decks is probably the lesser of the remaining episodes. Poor Sito. :(

I will keep repeating "Cause And Effect" until it blows up. Same reasons as before.
