The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - VOY Season 4

[BlueStuff]

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!

This was VOY's best season. Hardly any clunkers here. Really, only one.

Which is "UNFORGETTABLE".

It was very boring and mediocre.

Yay, my favourite season ..

Demon is a terrible episode even though it had Course: Oblivion as a follow up.

Taking out "THE KILLING GAME, PART II".

Not a bad two-parter, but I feel the ending was a bit rushed.

And yet another example of Voyager taking 'extreme damage' (Janeway's own words in her last log entry here) and looking brand spanking new the episode... just really grates me.. They did this FAR too often.

I concur this is Voy's strongest season.

I choose to remove Nemesis, it's like a wish.com Mind's Eye and there's just something missing in Robert Beltran's performance

I don't like mind-screw episodes even if they're good examples of the genre. "Waking Moments"...wasn't, particularly. Though Chakotay's solution was pretty clever and the ending scene wasn't bad.

I call that one "Chakotay Gets Mooned".

John Rhys Davies was a wonderful as Leonardo, but Concerning Flight showed him far too much, losing the magic from Scorpion..

Not a bad two-parter, just not that great, either. (And since I axed the second part, only fitting I club to death the first one.)

[Takeru]

Message in a Bottle, it didn't make sense to me that the Romulans were used as the villains in this episode killing an entire Starfleet crew and it never comes up on DS9 that they are openly hostile to the federation? This is not some small incident, it should have had big consequences but didn't. Multi vector assault mode was also portrayed as way too powerful, splitting the ship into three to attack from different vectors and giving the romulans three targets instead of one would be an advantage but taking them out as easy as they did?

Aww Message in a Bottle is one of my favourites. Ah tis the name of the game.

A lot of people really should have known better in Retrospect while the drama is good and the message tragic, getting there requires the acceptance of a lapse in judgement.

Also what does Janeway want with a cannon?

Deleting "Mortal Coil" because it mentions that Seven can resurrect the dead, then never brings it up again.

The Gift can go, the Seven of Nine scenes are great but the Kes stuff is pretty meh and is obliviously just a rush to get her out the door.
