The Least Disliked Episode 2023: TNG Season 7

[Qonundrum]

The only thing missing is "Good night, Jean-boy." Or "Good night, Data-dude." 'Tis all good...

Inheritance​

This one is not the best episode of this season, either....

I remember having nightmares for a week over the "You Know What You Have to Do" climax of Eye of the Beholder. (In fairness I was 10) That guy was creepy.

Interface
Phantasms
Parallels
The Pegasus
Genesis
Preemptive Strike
All Good Things...

 

[Farscape One]

Taking out "Interface".

Definitely the weakest one left.

[Warp 10 (Pepperoni)]

I'll remove "Phantasms". Watched this recently and I love it, especially the Troi cake and murderous Data. That said, I feel the others are all round stronger episodes.

Parallels
The Pegasus
Genesis
Preemptive Strike
All Good Things...

 

[Qonundrum]

They're all so good!

Parallels

Is pretty great, until the end when they treknobabble used to describe his experiences now includes a temporal aspect to ensure that nobody remembers anything because they didn't experience any of it. Okey dokey then. Might have been more fun if they didn't go there. But it's a Trek thing. After all, DS9 has the crew finding an Orb of Time that also conveniently transports them across space in an instant to space station K7.

Tough decision. Two are excellent, one is a great horror story, and the other is a great sendoff.

I will take out "Preemptive Strike" simply on the basis I love horror and the other two more. Very tough call, though.

Genesis

God, I'm going to do something really weird for me and pick "classy good" over "fun trash" and ax "Genesis."

Edir: Maybe I can get my trashy bonafides back by saying I'm saving "The Pegasus" for all that sexy Riker chest hair?

2nd edit: I'm having remorse! I forgot how awesome fish Deanna was. Ah well, the post has been made.

With all that waffling you did there, I feel like breakfast is upon us.

The evil admiral of the week is nicely done, as is the big asteroid of the year award, but

The Pegasus​

Just doesn't have the scope and scale that ATG had. It lacks Q, too.

Pretty great stuff, yes, but the winner can only be:

That scene alone rocks more than the asteroid. Especially as there's real incidental music complementing the scene instead of wallpaper gack! Doubly so when you realize that Q isn't pointing at someone's snot in the pond but is pointing AT the camera. Holy fourth wall, Batman!

 

[Qonundrum]

Really, the moment of glory is at 1:34 - just confirmed the timestamp! Best 4th wall gag, ever.

 

[Seven of Five]

I'm surprised that Genesis made it so far, even though it's been a guilty pleasure of mine since I first saw it. It's a pretty dumb episode if you think about it too hard, so just go with the flow and jump at Spider-Barclay!
