Game The Most Disliked Episode Directed By Winrich Kolbe

"Phage" because the Vidiians are some of Voyager's best and creepiest antagonists.

[Farscape One]

Personally, I think the Vidiians were the best villains of VOYAGER.

Not only creepy as hell, but they had a built in moral dilemma.

 

[Sakonna]

There was so much more to do with the Vidiians. Crazy that between the Kazon and the Vidiians as the early antagonists, the ones they really invested in were the Kazon.

But they did have their moments! Finishing up my save of "Basics" with Part II. So ridiculous, yet so satisfying.

[Cyfa]

I looked at this list and thought to myself "Oh, no. All the good ones are gone already" - but then I found one: VOY: "Eye Of The Needle". This is possibly my favourite Voyager episode. A story that works with Voyager's initial premise, an up-down rollercoaster of hope and disappointment for the crew, and Vaughn Armstrong as a fleshed out, sympathetic Romulan!

Removing "Thirty Days" from the list, because it manages to tell two pretty decent stories at the same time, and is an important part of Tom's journey of redemption.

Through The Looking Glass is a well-paced follow-up to Crossover. Having Sisko become involved in the story was a logical next step, also Jennifer being alive in the MU was a fun twist.

"Initiations" for the scenes between Chakotay and the young Kazon. Aron Eisenberg did a really good job.

Favor the Bold is the excellent buildup to the final episode of the Occupation Arc. The minefield by the wormhole is finally down, and Sisko's off to get his baseball back.

I like it too. Though someone should have told Riker that killing your own clone is still murder.

Initiations" for the scenes between Chakotay and the young Kazon. Aron Eisenberg did a really good job.

Yeah, really. It was nice to see him make a return appearance. And that was one of the better Kazon episodes, too.

I will save "Vortex", for giving us an interesting if morally complex guest character, and the early stages of Odo's quest to determine his origin (a quest that we know ends in sorrow).

"Drive": One space race and a wedding.

- And the spiffy new pilot uniform!

Lwaxana is awesome, so TNG: "Cost of Living" is getting saved. Plus, I love Picard's line: "nothing would please me more than to give away Mrs. Troi."

[Seven of Five]

'Til Death Do Us Part is one of those episodes of the Final Chapter that keep everything ticking along nicely until there was a great episode that blew our minds. It still has a lot of good stuff, including Sisko and Kasidy getting married, and Dukat arriving at the station to woo Winn with the Wraiths.

Birthright Part I, the Data bits anyway, is actually pretty good. I especially enjoyed Bashir's guest appearance, and his interactions with Data. Yes, Part II is dreck, but that shouldn't reflect too much on Part I, which I now save.

Saving "Good Shepherd". It's interesting to see Voyager from the perspective of characters who aren't main characters and I liked the one-off characters who were in this episode.
