Game The Most Disliked Episode Directed By Les Landau, 2025 Edition

[Detached Nacelle]

Virtuoso is my next save. Sure the Doctor was a bit of an arrogant prick at times in this episode but to be fair it was a planet full of arrogant pricks he was integrating with and the scene at the end with Seven of Nine is heartwarming.

Saving "Investigations", because it was at least trying to do something with Neelix, aside from a buffoon dressed like a sofa.

[Frightscape One]

I am saving "HEROES AND DEMONS".

It's a fun episode, and a good Doctor one. And pretty rare to have vikings in STAR TREK.


TNG Season 5: "Conundrum"
TNG Season 7: "Bloodlines"
VOY Season 3: "The Chute"

 

[Faintly Macabre]

"The Chute" had some fine acting by Paris and Kim, it was gritty and a little out-of-the-ordinary which was no bad thing...but that Paris...just can't stay out of prison!


TNG Season 5: "Conundrum"
TNG Season 7: "Bloodlines"

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Conundrum is clearly the best of the remaining two.

Picard having a son has never been done well. Fight me.

Bloodlines is the winning loser.

High five

 

[Cyfa]

A high five with beer is the nearest I can get (although I don't like beer - I'm drinking gin at the mo!)

Neither has Picard getting jiggy with Beverly.

It's telling that most of these episodes are actually pretty good, even silver and bronze medalists Conundrum and The Chute (yes, I hate Half a Life with a murderous passion, but that seems to be a minority opinion). Even big loser Bloodlines is basically below average.

I'm drinking tea like a decent Arkvoodle fearing Brit.

Neither has Picard getting jiggy with Beverly.

Agreed entirely. They worked well as friends but I never saw any romantic chemistry between them.

 

[Qonfounding Ghooool]

(had I gotten in a wee bit lot earlier: )

Oi, that's me name! Well, mostly, that's a bit of a

TNG Season 5: "Conundrum"

Another great example of Trek where we can see the characters playing not-quite-themselves and no mirror is involved.

This one's me fave:

Picard having a son has never been done well. Fight me.

Can I fight with you?

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Can I fight with you?

1v1 me with my lv100 Dudunsparce if you dare

 

[The Vorta-lak]

1v1 me with my lv100 Dudunsparce if you dare

I mean fight on you side!

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I mean fight on you side!

Ah then yes. Welcome brother.

 

[The Vorta-lak]

Ah then yes. Welcome brother.

TNG has too many "surprise relatives:" real, imposters, virtual, parallel reality, ... . Picard is the worst, with a real son, a fake son, a virtual world wife/daughter/son, and a clone

But a second previously unknown sibling for Spock was going too far and destroyed the franchise entirely everything was cancelled instantly and everyone was sacked day 1.

Well, Data has a grandfather (Graves), a father (Noonian Soong), a mother (Julia Tainer), two brothers (B4 and Lore), and three daughters (Lal and two in PIC).

Agreed. In fact, the only time I think a Picard romance seemed to be organic and really work was Nella Daren. Who they then promptly shipped away, never to be spoken of again.

Yes and I also bought into the Laris romance, I felt there was real potential there too but she was also forgotten about
