The Least Disliked Episode of The Animated Series - Season One...

[Farscape One]

This is a game that we play every few years or so, and 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 favorite 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 because you feel they would threaten your preferred episode's chance to win. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

[Farscape One]

I will start with "THE INFINITE VULCAN". Despite some good ideas in the story, and being written by Walter Koenig, I just couldn't get behind the idea of a GIANT Spock. It was just ridiculous.

BEYOND THE FARTHEST STAR has one of the coolest ships offered up in Trek. Very alien looking

Just to clarify, this thread is for LEAST DISLIKED episode. It sounds like you are giving it praise, like it should be saved from the Most Disliked list.

If I am wrong, I apologize. I did start this one while getting things ready for the final part of the Most Disliked thread, so I might have confused some people.

 

[BK613]

So, we play through the three seasons of TOS one way and then you change the rules LOL. Besides, logically, my least disliked is going to be my most liked.
no problem though, list restored:

Besides, logically, my least disliked is going to be my most liked.

The object of “least disliked” is to ultimately determine the most liked episode by the end of the game. That’s why you need to remove episodes you dislike, just as you removed episodes you like in the “most disliked” version.

Mudd's Passion is probably my least-favorite of the entire animated series.

[Brennyren]

Tossing "The Ambergris Element" over the side. "Improbable" doesn't seem like a big enough word to cover the transformation of Kirk and Spock into mermen.

By the way @Farscape One, aren't we in 2018 now? What's with designating the winners as 2017 champs?

 

[Farscape One]

It always takes me a few days to convert to the new year when it happens.

I will adjust.

 

[johnnybear]

I'll take The Lorelei Signal as I found the episode the least thrilling of the entire twenty two episode run! There were a lot of inconsistencies with the premise considering all the alien races who had lost ships in the area!

The Survivor survives no more. Just a generally pretty bland episode that could have done so much more with its concept.

Magicks of Megas-Tu is inane and incomprehensible. Adios, muchachos.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" is next to go. Shrinking the Enterprise? I just shake my head at the idea.

[BigDaveX]

The Eye of the Beholder. I couldn't even remember what this one was about at first, and from what little I do remember about it, the intended allegory was far too heavy-handed.

[Maurice]

"MORE TRIBBLES, MORE TROUBLES" is awful and unfunny and convinced me that Gene Coon wrote all the best lines in the original Flat Cats ripoff.

[GNDN18]

THE SLAVER WEAPON, while quite the fan favorite, does nothing for me. It might be a lot of things, but it’s not Star Trek.

[dstyer]

I'm going to drop "Jihad." While quite interesting, I don't like the way it focuses only on Kirk and Spock away from Enterprise and the crew.

THE TIME TRAP

 

[Brennyren]

Throwing a net over "The Time Trap" for its cliche sabotage attempt, and for turning Kor into a generic Klingon.

[BigDaveX]

Beyond the Farthest Star. Not bad by a long shot, just not quite as memorable as the others here.
