Game The Most Disliked Episode Directed By A Trek Actor, 2025 Edition

[Cyfa]

DS9: "Business As Usual" (Alexander Siddig) is great fun - Quark learns just how far he's willing to go for profit (and his deviousness gets him out of trouble again), and Worf learns that he's great with babies!

The story of the Bell Riots, and their causes was an object lesson at the time. Sadly, "Past Tense" has lost none of its relevance.

[Sakonna]

I was going to save one of the Disco episodes, but my save reasons kept veering off into trashing Disco for other things, which has led me to conclude that maybe it's not my favorite after all.

So instead I'll save "Second Chances." I'm often saying that "Rejoined" is Trek's best ROTW, but that's already saved and "Second Chances" might be the second best. It's hard to beat that Frakes/Sirtis chemistry.

[Detached Nacelle]

Stormy Weather is my next choice. Zora was a great addition to the line up, this episode also features strong work by David Ajala and is probably the only episode where Gray isnt a complete waste of screen time.

I was going to save one of the Disco episodes, but my save reasons kept veering off into trashing Disco for other things, which has led me to conclude that maybe it's not my favorite after all.

Stormy Weather is my next choice. Zora was a great addition to the line up, this episode also features strong work by David Ajala and is probably the only episode where Gray isnt a complete waste of screen time.

"Stormy Weather" is exactly the one I was going to save, but my elimination reasons kept veering into rants!

First I was praising the episode for the Zora story, then I started ranting about how the added epilogue to the series finale ruined that arc and made it grotesque.

Then I switched to praising the episode for providing great material for Gray, which then veered into a rant about how it also made the idiotic decision to write the character out.

Sigh. Disco was our most self-sabotaging Trek. It always had so many awesome things going for it, but also they could never stop tripping over their own feet.

 

[Cyfa]

I'm saving VOY: "Ex Post Facto" (LeVar Burton) because I like the noir style, the Tuvok and Paris partnership, but most especially the feathered headdresses of the Baneans (or do the Baneans grow feathers as well as hair?).

[Seven of Five]

The Sword Of Kahless is a wonderful vehicle for Kor and Worf.
