Game The Most Disliked 2-Part or Double Episode

[Farscape One]

I would have called "BROKEN BOW" the best pilot if not for the Temporal Cold War. I HATED that with such a passion.

Saving "AFFLICTION"/"DIVERGENCE". I thought the explanation of the Klingons was very clever, and it also helped explain why they always had such a disdain for humans. Reed was used well here, as was Section 31.

[Ray Hardgrit]

I think Voyager's The Killing Game is worth rescuing just for that shot of all the decks visible through the damaged holodeck wall, but it also featured some nice location filming, a defiant Harry Kim coming up with the plan, and Tuvok cutting loose with a Tommy gun.

I have to save ENT: Demons/Terra Prime because Peter Weller.

That's as solid as a reason gets.

The last two eliminations weren't taken out. Probably because you started at the end of the last page.

Easily fixed, however.

[Summer Solstice]

I'm saving Gambit - the start where they are looking for Picard makes me laugh and I like the way the characters silently communicate when Picard and Riker try to steal from the Enterprise.

I'm going to save Unification because there's something about seeing Spock in TNG that gives me shivers.

[Sakonna]

Hmm. "Dark Frontier" is trashy fun. I think I'm going to put it on right now. I mean, what a great title, first of all. It felt suitably epic to earn it's mid-season movie airing. Once I was annoyed how it turned the Queen into a soap opera villainess, but no longer, now I embrace the batshit nature of it all. It's ridiculous in all the right ways.

Other than the abrupt ending, I liked Endgame just fine. Take THAT, Borg bastards!

I saved Birthright because

it's a little bit better than the other choices

[Farscape One]

Now it gets tough to save episodes.

I'll grudgingly save "Et In Arcadia Ego" for only one reason... the final Picard and Data scene. I cried so hard, because not only was the scene beautiful, but I was truly saying goodbye to Data.

I'm already starting to tear up just thinking about it...

(In all honesty, this is my final save for this game. I haven't seen the PRODIGY one yet, so I can't judge. The DISCOVERY one, frankly, is a two-parter in name only. I HATE the Temporal Cold War. The Doctor's character just looks more like an ass in one VGR one, and the other was the WORST way to use the Borg, making assimilation just seem like just another day at the office.)

[Takeru]

That Hope is You, it's not actually a two parter and shouldn't be on the list imo but the first episode is really good. I haven't watched Prodigy yet and the remaining three are all stupid.


VOY, Season 6 & 7: “Unimatrix Zero”
VOY, Season 7: “Flesh And Blood”
ENT, Season 4: “Storm Front”
PRO, Season 1: "Lost And Found"

 

[Roald]

I'm gonna save Lost And Found from PRO. Thought it was an awesome pilot, really loved how it introduced these characters and the world it's set in. Actually, I'm surprised it's been on here for so long...

VOY, Season 6 & 7: “Unimatrix Zero”
VOY, Season 7: “Flesh And Blood”
ENT, Season 4: “Storm Front”

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I'm going to save Enterprise's Storm Front, as it isn't really that different in tone and quality to the rest of season 4. Plus the sequence with the Enterprise flying over 40s New York while being shot at by Stukas was great.

VOY, Season 6 & 7: “Unimatrix Zero”
VOY, Season 7: “Flesh And Blood”

 

[Takeru]

In that case I save Unimatrix Zero, at least it's not about hologram rights. Those things are tools.


VOY, Season 7: “Flesh And Blood” wins

 

[Richard S. Ta]

That was fun!

 

[Roald]

Actually, I still really like Flesh & Blood as well... Goes to show that Trek does pretty goed two-parters all around..!

 

[BlueStuff]

@Sakonna - might I suggest first season premieres, second season premieres etc spanning all shows? Apologies if you've already done that - but we have so much material now to draw from.

 

[captainkirk]

I'll grudgingly save "Et In Arcadia Ego"

I was honestly hoping this one would be the final pick. The Picard/Data goodbye you mentioned is its only redeeming quality to me.

 

[Sakonna]

That was fun! I was close to saving "Flesh And Blood" on my last elimination, but it didn't quite make it there. It's real selling point for me is the variety of alien holograms, I love how many Trek species are represented there. Honestly, there were very few items on this full list that I flat-out dislike.

The 2020 Most Disliked winner for this game was ENT: "Shockwave."

@BlueStuff: oh, I definitely have a season premiere and a season finale list. I try to space them out from the 2-Part/Double Episode, as there are so many points of overlap between those lists.

I'll be posting the next game later today. "The Most Disliked Visit to Earth's Past" Thanks for playing everyone, hope to see you on the next one!
