The Least Disliked "It's Happening In My Mind!" Episode

[RPOW0614]

Since someone with good taste already eliminated "VOY: The Thaw" I'll remove "VOY: Warlord". I was never a big Kes fan but to endure her chewing the scenery for an hour in this mess of an episode was just too much.

[Takeru]

Flashback, Sulu is an awful captain and George Takei a weak actor. This episode is the best example why a Captain Sulu series would have never worked.

[Discofan]

VOY, Season 4: “Waking Moments” doesn't make any sense. I don't mind a plot hole or two but this is just absurd. A species of sleepers? Who the hell does all the work? We didn't see them linked to anything so who gives them the food? Who takes away their body waste? Who washes them? The stench!!!

[Delta Vega]

Good catch! Consider this me taking my turn to add & eliminate "Doctor's Orders", which I totally can't stand. The length with which they belabor that reveal that T'Pol was just hallucinated, when it's apparent from the first second we see her -- I did not enjoy this one! And it's just a rip-off of "One"... which we also missed, adding that to the list now, as it's early enough in the game still to fix that omission.

Harsh, ha ha
I like "Doctor's Orders" but each to their own

[Takeru]

Is there in truth no beauty. Anti madness glasses and Spock forgetting them, an ambassador in a box, good old regular warp drive catapulting them out of the galaxy because a madman twisted a few knobs and Spock getting a quick fix at the end instead, a bunch of ideas I'm not in love with.

[Discofan]

VOY, Season 6: “Memorial”: Because of the appalling idea of repairing a machine that's just given PTSD to more than half of your crew!!! Janeway being dumber than a bag of rocks. That's on the same level as Archer keeping on board a vial of a virus that turns you into another species!!!

[JirinPanthosa]

Removing Things Past. One of the more forced examples where they take a deep emotional episode of someone’s past and then abuse the flexibility of sci-fi stories to work around having to come up with a creative way to explore it by just throwing it at the character as a stream of consciousness and all they have to do to end it is admit something to themselves.

Dark Page, not a fan at all, the secret dead sibling story was a bit soapish. It was nice to see a more serious side of Lwaxana but but I would have preferred if they had done it without a new character, they already had dead Ian Andrew Troi, I would have liked to learn more about him.

DS9, Season 7: “Extreme Measures”: because it doesn't make much sense.
Why would s31 devise a cure for the disease? It's a founder specific disease and they certainly didn't intend to stop it. So why?
Sloane who kept pulling the wool over Bashir's eyes, all of a sudden becomes so stupid that he falls into to most simplistic of tricks.
Why would there be only one cure and what would make Sloan such an expert that he could identify that cure?
The "trip" inside Sloan's mind is of the type "anything goes" with plot-convenient rules like why couldn't you watch the inside of someone's mind without dying if that person dies??? I knew in advance that: They would find the cure at the very last minute, that at some point they would think that they are out of his mind and still be inside. There's no logic in the whole thing They are in a turbolift, a corridor, they meet his family...etc and at some point the writer says "Well, enough bullshit now they find the cure and the end!!"

So many choices. I will choose Lethe, for using "Mind Meld" like a phone call over light years, and numerous other reasons. Plus, Keanu did it better.

[Takeru]

Where no one has gone before, Wesley notices something no one else does but they don't believe him because apparently starfleet's best and brightest don't believe a genius who took over engineering and is allowed access there for a school project can contribute anything. It makes no sense, he gets access to restricted areas but is considered to be a stupid kid at the same time.
Then there's the weird thoughts become reality place and it's just silly, someone dances, someone imagines fire and Picard is at least 500 years old based on how his mother looked. What kind of lame thoughts are those?
And of course the traveller drive is never brought up again.

Removing Phantasms. Would have removed it the first time but didn't notice it was there.
