I'm giving first blood to Future's End II. I think there are stronger episodes that season, and part two isn't as strong as the setup episode.

Removing Imperfection. It comes off as a really contrived scenario to artificially force emotional confrontations.

I didn't like Resistance because it the premise of the ship running out of power/fuel resources was stupid back in the TOS days and the start of the quality decline of Voyager.

 

[BigDaveX]

I'll vote for Resistance as well, as I really don't remember much about it, and what I do remember wasn't particularly interesting anyway.

Voting "FUTURE'S END, PART II". The people that captured Chakotay and Torres... that subplot did not need to be there.

Another vote for Future's End, II - part 1 and quite a few other episodes of its season are better than this one.

 

[Brennyren]

And "Future's End II" is out. That survivalist subplot was dumb and boring at the same time.

"PRIME FACTORS" gets a point. The Sikarians had no menacing quality about them to be a threat.

I will also do "Prime Factors." I like it, but it's a slightly stagey episode, the set-up of the conflict is just a bit too perfect.

I'll go for Prime Factors as well. There are better episodes in season one, though I love everything as soon as Torres and Seska decide to go against Janeway's wishes.

A point to "Counterpoint" (pun, for once, not premeditated). The possibility that Janeway was really attracted to that sleazy Nazi-wannabe made my stomach turn.

And Prime Factors is out, it's honestly kinda forgettable and I disliked all the "we could get home with that ... awww, didn't work" plots of the first season.

I might as go for Future's End I being as II is gone now. It's entertaining but still not as good as other season three episodes.

Going with "Deadlock" - cool idea, but the crossing over of Harry and the baby with no one batting an eyelid... hm...

 

[Brennyren]

Still not liking the "Counterpoint," same reason as before.

Giving a point to "COUNTERPOINT".

Despite excellent performances by Kate Mark, it's a rather simple story.

Future's End was fine, but there were some much better episodes in the 3rd season.

[Sakonna]

So I remember eliminating "Counterpoint" early in a previous iteration of this game, and causing minor controversy. Somehow, this ended up improving my view of "Counterpoint", I became convinced it was much better than I had previously given it credit for.

Well, I watched it again yesterday, and I return to my original opinion. I do not care for this one! I don't like that performance from Mark Harelik. The Devore are really harmed by their comically generic design. The episode simply doesn't pull me in. Point to "Counterpoint".

[BigDaveX]

I'll knock Counterpoint out of the list; there's a couple of stories I'd have voted for ahead of it, but it's still among the weaker ones on this list.
