Game The Most Disliked Animated Trek

[Seven of Five]

Whilst it may not be as funny as the episode it's a sequel to, More Tribbles, More Troubles is still a lot of fun. It was cool that Cyrano Jones was played by the original actor as well.

[Brennyren]

Saving "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth." It partly echoes the themes of "Who Mourns for Adonais?", but it's nonetheless the best presentation of Native American culture and lore in the entire franchise.

[Cyfa]

LDS: "Terminal Provocations" - Ah, Badgey, you evil little sod! I'm not saving this episode because of you (although you are kind of adorable, even in psychokiller mode), but rather because my joint most watched ENT episode* - "Precious Cargo" - gets referenced by the the even more adorable Rutherford

* "Vox Sola" is the other ep.

Saving "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth." It partly echoes the themes of "Who Mourns for Adonais?", but it's nonetheless the best presentation of Native American culture and lore in the entire franchise.

I was going to save that next, but maybe just because I saw Kukulkan in the Lower Decks season 3 trailer and it reminded me how much I loved that character design.

I'll next save "The Time Trap." A fun early version of VOY's "The Void." I'm always going to be happy when a bunch of different aliens are thrown together.

I also like that this is a piece of the Kor arc between TOS and DS9 -- if only it was John Colicos doing the voice!

[Brennyren]

And Prodigy exits the race! I'm saving "Dream Catcher," for the character insights it offers (especially into Dal and Gwyn), for the lush, lethal beauty of the planetary set, and because Gwyn, even though to this point she's -- understandably -- been an opponent to the crew, just can't bring herself to leave Murf in danger.

Saving "The Pirates of Orion". Nice to have the infrequently-seen Orions featured in an episode of TAS.

[Vger23]

TAS "The Infinite Vulcan" was written by Walter Koenig and featured a jumbo-sized Spock. 'Nuff said.

[Cyfa]

To be honest, I could save any of the remaining LDS episodes right now, but I'm going for "Temporal Edict" because of Boimler revelling in the lack of buffer time, Mariner's & Ransom's grudging respect for each other spurred on by being captured by the Gelrakians, and Chief O'Brien!

[Captain's Coffee]

"Strange Energies" because of Mariner's... creative approach to defeating Ransom by repeatedly kicking him in the 'nards, which was quite funny.

"Albatross" is another winning TAS. I love those weird aliens and their highly expressive square pupils.

Once Upon a Planet revisited the planet from Shore Leave, and was had amusing results.

[Farscape One]

I've had a lot of things going on at once lately, so I nearly missed this game.

Saving "Mugato, Gumato". It was fun, and Boimler got to play to his strengths.

Saving "The Ambergris Element" because of the aquashuttle as well as the wonderful aquatic aliens.

TAS Season 1: "Once Upon A Planet"
TAS Season 1: "The Terratin Incident"

[Tango]

I believe OUAP had been saved above. Fixed.

TAS Season 1: "The Survivor"
TAS Season 1: "The Terratin Incident"
TAS Season 1: "The Eye Of The Beholder"

 

[Sakonna]

"The Survivor" is pretty good! And appealingly haunting. Plus, I'm always in it for the weird aliens, so I'm happy with the Vendorians.

I don't think what's left are all that horrible, really...

 

[Seven of Five]

Another interesting use of animation is The Terratin Incident, with the crew being shrunken. The tale about Terratin being a lost Earth colony was a nice twist as well.

TAS Season 1: "One of Our Planets Is Missing"
TAS Season 1: "The Eye Of The Beholder"

 

[Richard S. Ta]

What's left is not bad. I like them both. I'm choosing One of Our Planets Is Missing just cause it's a better title.

And the winner is The Eye of the Beholder!

 

[Sakonna]

Sorry for the delay, having a crazy end-of-summer. Next game will be up in a day or two... haven't decided what's next yet... maybe a director's list, maybe "Most Disliked Season One Episode," maybe "Most Disliked Episode Named For A Place"...

TAS edges ahead of it's other animated cohorts with two wins!

No previous winner on this one, it was a new list.

Thanks for playing all, hope to see you all on the next one!
