Here we have the winners and runners-up of each season - and now, it's time for the final rounds.

*RULES*

Give what you consider to be the worst/your least favourite episode ONE point, and briefly explain WHY. Be sure to copy and paste the list with your point added. When an episode reaches 4 points, it is eliminated. Then a NEW round begins (in this thread) with the numbers restored to 0. Vote ONCE per round. If 48 hours without a vote passes, the episode currently leading in points will be eliminated, and a new round will begin. And enjoy! :bolian:

Voting for magic, season 1 is bad and the first half is unwatchable.

Neither of the first season episodes are worthy to even make it to the Finals, so I'm starting off both of them.

"Despite Yourself" gets my first vote.

"Despite Yourself" Some great moments, but the Culber death is unforgivable.

Should be 2 points for "Despite Yourself" since I voted for it also.
 
Yeah, I gotta take out the Mirror Universe stuff.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed DISCO season 1... the problem is that the show simply didn't know what it wanted to be at this point. It certainly hadn't yet become the DISCO we remember (for better or worse).

Ugh, this is hard. I think aim for Erigah. I don't think Discovery's take on the Breen was good enough to warrant removing their air of mystery.

Voting for "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad".

Same reason as I voted for "Despite Yourself"... neither of the season 1 episodes that got here deserves to win the Finals.

Erigah. It was nice to see the Breen again but it was a poor-man's version of them.

“If Memory Serves”. I’m hardly immune to nostalgia ploys, but I never cared much for the original episode this one’s based upon, and what’s left is an underwhelming vision quest and a kinda-neat set. It’s bottom-half season two for me.

I'll off "Erigah." I like it, and mostly I find it amazing how well S5 works as a Final Season even though it was not planned as such, but this is one episode where I was like... this one you wouldn't have done if you knew it was your final season. Too much of a tangent.

And I'll give my point for the next round to "Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad." The ending is soooooooooooo bad. The journey there is great, but a flop ending cheapens the whole thing.

Voting for "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" again... and I'll keep doing it until I go mad.

Same reasons as before.

Voting "Through the Valley of Shadows".

Pike's scene where he decides his fate is worth the price of helping save everyone is a good one, but that's the most this episode has for it.

Yeah, I'll target "Through The Valley Of Shadows". The specific scene where Pike sees his future is great, but other bits (the aged up Klingon baby, the concept of "time crystals", using Boreth from TNG in a pointless way) are lacking
