Game The Most Disliked Episode Directed By Levar Burton

Rules of Engagement is always a pleasure to rewatch. It has a different execution for what, by that point, had become standard Trek courtroom fare. Having people narrate what happened, whilst they were there actually doing it, was fun.

Work was definitely a good addition to the cast in S4.

DS9 Season 6: "Resurrection"
DS9 Season 7: "The Emperor's New Cloak"
VOY Season 7: "Nightingale"
ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 1: "Fortunate Son"
ENT Season 2: "First Flight"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"
ENT Season 3: "The Forgotten"
 
I'm one of those jerks who think the Xindi arc is overrated, but "The Forgotten" is still a solid-enough episode. It also does highlight a favorite quality of mine of "Enterprise," their avoidance of casually killing redshirts.

DS9 Season 6: "Resurrection"
DS9 Season 7: "The Emperor's New Cloak"
VOY Season 7: "Nightingale"
ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 1: "Fortunate Son"
ENT Season 2: "First Flight"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"
 
Saving "NIGHTINGALE".

A decent 7th season episode, and Harry Kim got some development... though this episode sort of shows WHY he isn't in a command position.


DS9 Season 6: "Resurrection"
DS9 Season 7: "The Emperor's New Cloak"
ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 1: "Fortunate Son"
ENT Season 2: "First Flight"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"
 
Resurrection is my next save by not quite sucking as much as the remaining episodes.

DS9 Season 7: "The Emperor's New Cloak"
ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 1: "Fortunate Son"
ENT Season 2: "First Flight"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"
 
"First Flight" is OK, it ultimately feels slight and forgettable but I don't mind it.

DS9 Season 7: "The Emperor's New Cloak"
ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 1: "Fortunate Son"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"
 
My final save for this game is "FORTUNATE SON".

It was cool to see the Nausicaans again. And I like the attempt at looking into Boomer culture.

Good luck with these final 3, folks.

DS9 Season 7: "The Emperor's New Cloak"
ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"
 
My final vote is for The Emperor's New Cloak.

It was a pretty terrible way to end the MU arc, yet I like it slightly more than what's left. The dumb carry-the-cloaking-device humour always makes me smile, as does Rom's incredulity at all the differences between the two universes.

Nana Visitor is always worth a watch as Intendant Kira as well, even if her material isn't all that in this episode.

ENT Season 1: "Terra Nova"
ENT Season 3: "Extinction"

Oh boy, these are a terrible final two. Like trying to choose between "Code Of Honor" and "Profit & Lace."

I will save "Extinction", because that interaction where Trip is uncomfortable about having to take off his shoes for neuropressure with T'Pol is a little cute.

That is only about 6 or 7 seconds of screentime, but I can't think of anything else in these two I enjoyed at all.

So, "Terra Nova" wins! For the second time, after previously taking the "Most Disliked Latin Title" crown.

Thanks for playing everyone, and hope to see you all on the next one: "The Most Disliked Wedding Episode."

The thing with Terra Nova is that it's not bad because it's stupid, as say, VOY: Threshold or pretty much every DSC episode, it's just incredibly boring. It might be the most boring episode of the franchise.
