The Least Disliked Episode 2023: PIC Final Rounds

[Farscape One]

This is a tough choice.

I agree with Sakonna about how "No Win Scenario" is a classic ST plot and how it was weaved into a serialized season so well... but we were in the nebula a little too long at this point. "Imposters", however, edges out because of Ro Laren. Her scenes with Picard were just absolutely perfect. That last moment in the corridor between them... just wow. I definitely shed a couple single man tears with this episode. The performances were even more outstanding than "No Win Scenario", so it gets my final vote for this game despite it being a better plot.

Imposters is my favourite here. I LOVED the return of Ro Laren - Forbes and Sir Patrick were magnificent in their scenes together.

No Win Scenario - 2

Two great episodes, but I'll give the edge to the return of the brilliant Michelle Forbes in Imposters. Seeing her go up against Patrick Stewart after all of these years was just amazing.

The return of the changelings was the icing on the cake.

After gunning for "Remembrance" several days in a row, it looks like I've missed getting to finally send it off. So...

Of the two season 3 episodes, I find "Imposters" to hit all the right notes with Ro in just one episode. "No Win Scenario" hits some great notes as well, and for sure feels "very Star Trek", but it's arc is spread across multiple episodes. So, I vote for the later...

No Win Scenario - 4
Imposters - 1

Fantastic winner.

I'm going to do Lower Decks next.

Good. DIS and PIC... the episodes kind of run together. Which I know was the point.

God, I was THIS close to making "Imposters" the first elimination for season three. I should have done it!
