The least disliked episode of STE - season two

Minefield. A comprehensive guide on How to Disarm a Romulan mine (40 min).

Dead Stop
Stigma
Cease Fire
Future Tense
Judgment
The Breach
Cogenitor
Regeneration
First Flight
The Expanse
 
I'm removing Regeneration. Im not a big fan of Borg episodes anyway (regardless of what Trek series they appeared in) . Oh..And somehow Phlox is semi- immune to the nano probes? Too bad this info didn't make its way to the future...Maybe Picard could have amassed an army of Denobulans to fight the Borg.

I quite liked Regeneration. Despite the issue of whether it was right to have them on ENT in the first place, I thought they made them a bit more intimidating than they'd been since Scorpion. It added a bit of excitement into a mostly turgid season.

I'll remove Cease Fire for being a boring follow-up to the Andorian/Vulcan story.

I think the next one should be Future Tense. Although I like time travel episodes, this one is a bit messy and doesn't go anywhere. Lots of timeloops but I still don't know what the episode was supposed to be about. Another TCW wasted opportunity.

I agree. I loved it at the time, but ultimately the lack of direction in the Temporal Cold War arc left any episode focused on it hollow.
 
I generally enjoy the season t I generally enjoy season two , and I didn't have any major problems with the remaining episodes. I'm going to remove Judgement because it didn't engage me like the other episodes. And I found the ending a little clunky. After Archer goes through the entire faux judicial process, only when he is taken to the hard core prison camp does T'Pol finally manage to bribe someone - which pretty much allows Reed to walk right in and pick Archer without any hassle.

I'll lose Stigma now, which I felt was a clumsily handled allegory.

I will ditch The Breach. It's a fine episode, but to be honest, the Phlox/alien reconciliation was very predictable. And the spelunking was something we'd seen before in Chain of Command. A shame this lightweight B-story was one of the few times we saw other Denobulans.

Alrighty..down to the wire. I'll toss First Flight because I didn't find the Robinson character very likeable. And I found it odd how it took decades to develop a warp 2 engine, that everyone was in awe over..and a mere 8 years later they had progressed to warp 5.

Dead Stop
Cogenitor
The Expanse
 
I like that Dead Stop made it this far. It's not a best episode ever, but it remembered the damage that happened to the ship the previous episode, and it was quirky. Being as the producers never took to Travis, they should have left him dead here.

Cogenitor
The Expanse
 
I'll remove Cogenitor as it was the only time (that I recall) that I yelled "fuck you" at a captain. It was a fascinating episode otherwise but I was less than pleased with the moral.

Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only one! :) I wasn't all that pleases with the moral either, but I figured I was a minority since it's one of the more critically acclaimed episodes.

And I can agree with The Expanse being "the best" if the season, as it was one of my favorite episodes of the series. :)
 
I think The Expanse, Cogenitor and Regeneration were my favourites in a dull, dull year.

Dull I tells ya! :eek:
