The Least Disliked Episode 2025: ENT Season 1

[BlueStuff]

Our addictive biyearly game of rapid elimination returns - now with more shows than ever. It's generally a lot of fun, providing a chance to mentally revisit those episodes you may not have thought about in a while. With that in mind, why not play again?

So, 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 favourite 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 eliminate another episode.

No tactical voting! You cannot remove an episode just because you feel it would threaten your preferred episode's chance to win. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

The "morality" of "Dear Doctor" is repulsive.

The extreme condescension that comes along with it makes it even more obscene.

Shadows of P'Jem is a poor follow-up to The Andorian Incident!

A total waste of Shran.

Taking out "SHOCKWAVE".

The Temporal Cold War is the one thing I would excise from the franchise. (The ENT theme song being a very close second place.)

It is my absolute pleasure to have the privilege to remove "Two Days and Two Nights", my least favourite episode of the entirety of Star Trek... except for Shades of Gray and Masks. It was torture sitting through this story as I was bored out of my mind.

"Terra Nova" is unwatchable. Cool premise, terribly executed. Every detail about the Novens is off-putting.

Fortunate Son. The idea behind Travis had potential but the writing and acting just didnt live up to it.

Strange New World, it felt like a script from the leftover pile they inherited from Voyager, with very few changes this could have been done with Neelix in T'Pol's position. It's not a bad episode in itself but completely uninspired and not distinct from the other shows at all, at this point we've had 14 years and 21 seasons of 90s era Trek, Enterprise should have offered something new, having an early episode feeling exactly like a middle of the road TNG/Voyager script was not good.

Shuttlepod One is just not very good. There's just something off about Malcolm in this episode.

"Silent Enemy" actually has a good A story, but unfortunately the B story is so terrible that the entire episode is ruined by it.

Devaluing "ACQUISITION".

It was stupid to bring in the Ferengi for ENTERPRISE. (Despite having a great guest cast.)

When "Fusion" isn't being tedious it's just plain unpleasant. And I don't like the music.

I don't get the appeal of "The Andorian Incident." I find this episode boring and unengaging. I've tried so many times, too. I'm always like "THIS time I'll like it!", and then I still don't.

I like the fact that it brings back the Andorians, but nothing they do with them here is that interesting to me. I'll enjoy subsequent Andorian appearances, though.

Taking out "SLEEPING DOGS".

While it was cool to see a Klingon ship stuck in the atmosphere, and T'Pol helping Hoshi over her nervousness was a great mentoring scene, it's definitely the weakest one left here.

"Vox Sola" is about a creature capturing characters and linking their minds, and if you can think of anything at all to do with that premise then you've got more ideas than the writers had.
