The least disliked episode of TNG - season seven

[BlueStuff]

This is a game that we play every two years, 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!

So is Sub Rosa. Holy cow. Even in the questionable overall quality of season 7, it's a stinker.

It does have some really good eps, but the first dozen will drop like flies.

The only episode i would watch of TNG when i was little.

Hmm, should it be Force of Nature or Homeward to go next? [Tosses coin] ...tails says Homeward. Sorry Nikolai. You may have Kasidy Yates in your episode, but it's still a painful 45 minutes.

I do not understand why people hate Sub Rosa so much. I have always liked that episode. I could understand that it's not peoples' favorite, but it seems like everyone vehemently despises it for some reason.

I am going to take out Bloodlines. I felt that this one was too manufactured.

Sub Rosa is a poor rip off of the Anne Rice novel, The Witching Hour. I can see why Anne Rice has never sued or inquired about that episode. BTW I love the whole Mayfair Witches series.

I'm saying bye bye to Liaisons, it is one of the very few episodes of TNG I have to look up to see what the plot was.

I'm eliminating Eye of the Beholder. That episode actually freaked me out for a week after watching it, mainly because Pierce came across as a creepy individual.

Thine Own Self - Troi and Worf relationship was a bad idea. This episode made it even worse. Plus its all a delusion. meh.

I believe you're thinking of Eye of the Beholder, not Thine Own Self. (Which was amnesiac Data in a village.)

 

[mythme]

oh crap you're right. then instead I choose Dark Page. Not so much for Lwaxana but the telepaths in that episode didn't do one ounce of service.
