The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - ENT Season 4

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! :bolian:

Shall I go with the obvious?

"These Are the Voyages..." for so many reasons is impossible to list them all. The worst: turning ENT's finale into a bad TNG episode. Runner up: killing Trip stupidly.

Damn... you beat me by mere mimutes. I was going to eviscerate that finale.


"DAEDALUS" falls into the ocean and dies. (Instead of Icarus...)

The idea of the story is fine, just a pretty boring episode.

"Storm Front, Part I" is intolerable. This whole Nazi tangent was so ill-advised.

Clearing "STORM FROMT, PART II".

It was the Temporal Cold War. And space Nazis. Not good.

However... I can't fault Manny Coto too much because it was Berman and Braga that trapped the show in that corner with that last scene from season 3. And Coto did put a definitive end to that damned Temporal Cold War arc for the show with this episode, so I will be forever grateful to him for that.


Side note: at this point, in my opinion, it's ALL good to great episodes left, so eliminations for me will be a bit challenging.

The worst has been trimmed quite efficiently.

I guess this season can have its last standalone-y one removed. Observer Effect isn't particularly intuitive or exciting or fun.

We were all gunning for that crap heap.

"Home" had Phlox doing a pufferfish trick... and not much else.

Burning "COLD STATION 12".

Only because it's the slightly weaker episode in the Augments trilogy.

"The Aenar" would've been forgettable as a stand alone story, but as the conclusion to the otherwise excellent Babel One arc it was a real disappointment for me. And kind of a downer as well.

I cannot get with that view that "Terra Prime" actually makes a good finale. Ending on Trip & T'Pol crying over a dead baby? That's as bad as TATV.

Geez, for me that Augments trilogy is the clear highlight of the season, by like eleventy billion miles.

It is so far ahead, it can't even see the rest of season 4 from where it is.

Ah well! I'll put a bullet in "Kir'Shara." For me the Vulcan trilogy is defined by feeling suffocated by those fucking cave sets.

The whole Klingon appearance plot was a pointless plot in Divergence. They should have justl let it be.
