The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - LD Season 5

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:

Season 5

Dos Cerritos

Starbase 80?!
Of Gods and Angles
Fully Dilated
Upper Decks
Fissure Quest
The New Next Generation
 
You know giving it some thought I actually think the finale is the weakest episode of the season. It's a fun ride but it doesn't feel enough for the grand sendoff, it's weaker than the previous finales of the series. It just feels like another season is about to happen, the portal has to go, and it just feels like it's the type of ending where give it a few months and season 6 will be out in the first episode they collapse the portal because some Pakled Empire start invading. Sci fi stuff sci fi stuff. Laugh laugh laugh. On to the next adventure.

Dos Cerritos
Shades of Green
The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel

Starbase 80?!
Of Gods and Angles

Upper Decks
Fissure Quest
 
I thought that quite a few episodes this season felt 'off', like they were written by new people who didn't quite get the style of humour. But the absolute worst episode for that (for me) was "Upper Decks". In fact it's my least favourite episode of the entire series.

Dos Cerritos
Shades of Green
The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel
A Farewell to Farms
Starbase 80?!
Of Gods and Angles
Fully Dilated
Fissure Quest
 
A wonderful season! A real shame it was the last... of all the shows of the current era, THIS was the one that could have gone to 100 episodes. And should have!

I'll take out "Dos Cerritos".

I just like it slightly less than the others.



Shades of Green
The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel
A Farewell to Farms
Starbase 80?!
Of Gods and Angles
Fully Dilated
Fissure Quest
 
Of Gods and Angles is my least favourite S5 episode. I found Ensign Olly just a little too annoying (but I'm happy that, with Mariner's help, she found a place on the Cerritos), and the outcome with Quadralon and Radiara (and SquAaron) was too obvious.

Shades of Green
The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel
A Farewell to Farms
Starbase 80?!
Fully Dilated
Fissure Quest
 
This is just getting more and more difficult. I love ALL of these, for different and various reasons.

I'll take out "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel".

Extremely slightly
less loved than the others.


Shades of Green
Starbase 80?!
Fully Dilated
Fissure Quest
 
I feel like S5 was huge step down from S4, much like DIS.

Shades of Green just felt a bit average to me.

Ever since Tendi left the crew, it never felt like she wouldn't just rejoin.

Starbase 80?!
Fully Dilated
Fissure Quest
 
"Starbase 80?!" is slightly less than "Fully Dilated", so axing that. Fantastic episode, though.

"Fully Dilated" just has too much good T'Lyn stuff.

And "Fissure Quest" is a clear favorite of the series.

Fully Dilated
Fissure Quest
