The least disliked episode of TNG - Final Round

I'll vote for Disaster. It's an episode I love for its fish-out-of-water scenarios, but it's not as strong as the other bunch.

You aren't allowed to vote twice in a single post. Since you eliminated Disaster, you can't vote for another episode so quickly. Just check out previous posts which eliminated an episode, everything was reset back to 0.

Adding the two posts after yours, it should now be...

Now it starts getting hard. Q Who. I don't like how they hint at Q and Guinan having a past and then never expand on that. No one likes a tease.

That's not the rule. BlueStuff said "Vote ONCE per round." I voted for Disaster which ended one round. I voted for Preemptive Strike for the next round. It doesn't matter if I do it in one post or two.

No, voting twice in a post in this situation is perfectly acceptable. He eliminated an episode with his vote, thus starting a new round, which is why he reset the episodes to 0. Then he was eligible to vote in the new round. In the season threads, you have to wait until 2 more users play after you before playing again, but that doesn't apply here, it's simply vote once per round. I'll reinstate the votes and add my own for Deja Q the reasons for which I gave before. For me it's clearly the weakest here.

Well, there was Deja Q. They touched on it a little more. But some things are better left unexplained.

I don't call Guinan just randomly stabbing Q with a fork touching on it. Seriously, the good guys aren't supposed to do crap like that. :p

Yeah, this always drove me nuts and it still does.

I want to know what the story was behind Guinan and Q knowing each other! It seems like it would be a good story, especially if it provoked an otherwise peaceful woman to stab someone with a fork at a time when she knew it would hurt like hell.

Or maybe they were going with the "it's better if left a mystery" approach?

*goes to re-watch some of these episodes*

I would feel bad voting before doing so.

They explained how Picard and Guinan first met in Time's Arrrow after keeping it a mystery for so long. The actual events were very disappointing...

Glad they kept Guinan and Q's history a mystery. My personal theory is that they were once lovers and Guinan broke up with him, which led to the bad blood between them.:p
 
Once again DQ, but for very different reasons this time ;)

Okay I'll go Deja Q as well, it's the weakest of the group we have left I think.

All of these are top 30 episodes except The Drumhead and Preemptive Strike. But Drumhead is probably top third and Preemptive Strike is top of bottom half.

I knock off Pre-Emptive strike for setting up Voyager.

My vote in this round goes to Chain of Command II. Great scene with Picard and the "four lights". But I don't think I should vote for an episode because I remember one good scene.

I vote Tapestry because I'm getting sick of it being here and really don't want it to make top three.
