The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - TNG Final Rounds

This is a wild list. Like, there are a few on here that should be the "Best TNG Episodes" list.

I added Shades of Grey. Because. Shame on you for Shades of Grey not being on here.
It is the "Best TNG Episodes" list.

Well, it was anyway. Now that Shades of Grey is on it, the list's gone wild.

Whelp, I may have misunderstood the the assignment here. Let's go ahead and disregard my initial post...

Conspiracy - 2
Where No One Has Gone Before - 3
Where Silence Has Lease - 3
Peak Performance - 0
The Best of Both Worlds, Part I - 0
Yesterday's Enterprise - 0
The Drumhead - 0
Redemption, Part I - 0
Darmok - 3
Power Play - 0
A Fistful of Datas - 2
Chain of Command, Part II - 0
The Pegasus - 0
Phantasms - 0

My actual correct entry here, I gave a point to Conspiracy. The episode itself was fine, but the complete and total lack of follow-up hurt it retroactively.

Darmok is out, the episode is very overrated in my opinion, the tamarian language makes no sense and even if I ignore that I dislike how this seemingly untranslatable language is deciphered by what amounts to a google search done on the Enterprise and Picard spending some time with a tamarian.

For the next round I vote Where No One Has Gone Before, it mostly exists to tell the audience that Wesley is not just smart, he's super special. Pretty annoying.

Conspiracy was my least favorite in the previous round, and the removal of Darmok doesn’t change that.

Come to think of it, if everybody just posted their rankings from worst to best, we could do all the voting at once. Are we dragging it out for suspense? Not that that’s a bad reason.
 
"Where Silence Has Lease" is still just an ordinary episode. Perfectly watchable: hardly special.

Wow! I kind of expected to be the only one voting for "Darmok", again and again until it won the whole thing, and instead it's the first out.

I'll give my next point to "Chain Of Command, Part II." It's just too sadistic. I never rewatch it.

Given that the number of voters is not more than triple the number of eligible episodes, it’s possible to have everybody vote without any episode getting to 4. What happens then? Do we keep waiting for more voters, or does there come a point at which we declare voting for the round closed and pick a loser?

Rules - “If 48 hours without a vote passes, the episode currently leading in points will be eliminated, and a new round will begin.”

If it’s a tie after 48 hours, we’d boot the episode that’s been on the edge the longest. Example, A and B are locked on 3 points, but A reached 3 points first - so A would be eliminated once 48 hours pass without any votes.
 
So in that scenerio, the first episode that got to 3 votes wins after a 48 hour timeout.

I'll vote for Where No One Has Gone Before again this round.
