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

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!

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.

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'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?).

Yeah the Calypso epilogue just raised so many more questions and probably should have just been left alone, most of the short treks are pretty inconsequential so I wouldn't have shed a tear if it had been quietly left not canon or part of that Breen apocalypse timeline we briefly saw.

Gray was such an odd one. First there was the unsubtle plot of wanting to be seen but it offered potential Trill lore like okay so not counting the Odan oddities symbionts can be joined to different races but what are the consequences of this? Without isoboramine or whatever it was called what side effects are there to having half a dozen people's memories rattling around upstairs? But then it just all got quietly dropped and when Gray got a Soong golem that was it. Character arc done. On the bus you go.

Stormy Weather actually gave Gray something to do and could have led to him getting an arc about joining Starfleet and learning to be a counselor. As a golem he wouldn't have the telepathic abilities that guardians seem to need and DS9 treated guardians as weird loners, outsiders and a waste for a joined Trill but this was his ambition as a joined teenager before he died?
 
Saving "RULES OF ENGAGEMENT".

Great courtroom episode, and excellent use of the witnesses actually talking TO the camera/audience. (First time in the franchise, too.)

And Sisko once again proving why he's the best captain in the franchise when he tells Worf about the need to put on a smile for crew sometimes.

Saving "HOMESTEAD".

Until the current era, Neelix was the ONLY character who even GOT an ending. And a good one. And well earned, too.

And Tuvok 'dancing' at the end... tugs at the heartstrings. (It's one of my wife's favorite scenes of the series.)

Yeah the Calypso epilogue just raised so many more questions and probably should have just been left alone, most of the short treks are pretty inconsequential so I wouldn't have shed a tear if it had been quietly left not canon or part of that Breen apocalypse timeline we briefly saw.

Gray was such an odd one. First there was the unsubtle plot of wanting to be seen but it offered potential Trill lore like okay so not counting the Odan oddities symbionts can be joined to different races but what are the consequences of this? Without isoboramine or whatever it was called what side effects are there to having half a dozen people's memories rattling around upstairs? But then it just all got quietly dropped and when Gray got a Soong golem that was it. Character arc done. On the bus you go.

Stormy Weather actually gave Gray something to do and could have led to him getting an arc about joining Starfleet and learning to be a counselor. As a golem he wouldn't have the telepathic abilities that guardians seem to need and DS9 treated guardians as weird loners, outsiders and a waste for a joined Trill but this was his ambition as a joined teenager before he died?

Yes, all of this!

They'd already explained "Calypso" perfectly with Zora's line about "was I dreaming again?" in the Breen apocalypse flashforward. I think "Calypso" was pretty obviously a first draft of ideas for how Disco would get to the future, and once the plot was revised so substantially during the writing of season 2, there was no way to pull it into mainstream continuity. Nor was there a need!

Yet upon cancellation the Disco writers concluded it was their ONE "must address" item? And their way for doing that was with an act of brutal sadism: dropping a sentient being that derives her purpose from caring for others into 1,000 years of solitary confinement? So sick and off-putting to end your warm-hearted & empathetic series with a dark act of torture, to explain a years-ago plot element FROM ANOTHER SHOW, that had already been fully explained!

The creative team did this even though they'd organically and accidentally arrived at what would have been a PERFECT ending, Saru's wedding! They could have just shot more from that if they felt they had to add, and it would have been the fucking best!

And Gray could so easily have remained on Disco the whole time and only popped up when the plot allowed, a la Keiko. To tell so much story, of Adira and Gray's relationship overcoming death, and then just let it peter out like that?

Nothing about Gray's relation to Trill and Guardian studies tracks at all with his backstory on the generation ship, the state of galactic travel in the post-Burn era, everything else we knew about the character, etc

Ah, Discovery. I totally loved the show and it also drove me full-on insane constantly. :bolian:
