The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - LD Season 3

[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!

Excellent season! It's actually hard to take out episodes.

Stopping "The Least Dangerous Game".

Only because I like it slightly less than the rest of the episodes.

After much, much internal debate I've decided I think Reflections is the weakest episode because Boimler's Starfleet booth was a lot stronger than the A story.

It's got some good stuff (Tendi playfully mocking robot Boimler at the end, for one), but Freeman and Maier's extended squabbling is a low point for LDS in my view, so Mining the Mind's Mines has got to go.

The overall conceit of "Trusted Sources" doesn't really work for me. Most of the characters feel a little off.

[Detached Nacelle]

A Mathematically Perfect Redemption takes a bit long to get to the point and does stretch out some less interesting parts of the episode a bit longer than they should have been.
