The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - SNW Season 2

[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!

A very strong season; I’m going to kick out The Broken Circle for just being an OK premiere.

Ad Astra per Aspera
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Among the Lotus Eaters
Charades
Lost in Translation
Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody
Hegemony

My choice to get the boot is Among the Lotus Eaters. It's okay but just okay and the continuity errors with the costumes was just lazy.

Ad Astra per Aspera
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorro
Charades
Lost in Translation
Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody
Hegemony

 

[Eddie Roth]

Out with Charades! An unfunny, cringeworthy hour of "Star Trek" (in name only).

Ad Astra per Aspera
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Lost in Translation
Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody
Hegemony

 

[V'Lias]

That makes it easy for me, because I was trying to decide between that and Lost in Translation! It's got an interesting premise, but the overall execution felt a little lacking.

Ad Astra per Aspera
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody
Hegemony

 

[Sakonna]

My most hated is still here - "Ad Astra Per Aspera." I've always thought Trek really struggled to make their courtroom episodes work, and this one is no exception. The other side is usually so indefensible the drama can't really take flight.

This is also one of the episodes that suffers from it's prequel timeframe. To truly pay off it would have to be a bigger win, but they didn't do that becuase that would disrupt the timeline.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody
Hegemony

 

[BlueStuff]

For me, Hegemony has the least to offer.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Big hitters remaining but one must fall and the Tomorrows are inched off the podium.

Those Old Scientists
Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody

 

[V'Lias]

I'm going to remove Those Old Scientists from the running. It was a lot of fun, but one of the remaining episodes has to go, and top three isn't bad!

Under the Cloak of War
Subspace Rhapsody

 

[Farscape One]

"Subspace Rhapsody" is terrible. It is gone. (I would have eliminated it first had I had time to come here earlier.)

"Under the Cloak of War" is the best episode of SNW It wins this season.

HERESY AGAINST DOCTRINE

 

[BlueStuff]

We did it everyone - we managed to slip Subspace Rhapsody past Farscape and get it into the Finals!

 

[Farscape One]

We did it everyone - we managed to slip Subspace Rhapsody past Farscape and get it into the Finals!

Seriously, you don't know how lucky a break you all got with that.

I guarantee you, in future games, I will NOT let that happen again.

So say we all.
I have spoken.

We're going to need to move faster next time.
