The MOST Disliked Episode of DS9 - Final Part...

[Farscape One]

My vote this round goes to "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...". The saving grace of this episode, which I have said for years, is that we get that very important glimpse at Worf's childhood. It gives a valid, and perfectly sensible, reason for why he is the way he is, and ultimately why he is so different, fundamentally, from most Klingons we meet.

I'm one-upping Meridian again. For the same aforementioned reasons.

I'm one upping "Sons and Daughters." It's underlying premise isn't terrible like the others, and the Dukat/Zyial/Kira subplot was okay (if redundant).

Sons and Daughters again. While it is a sub-par episode it is the only one left which, while I am watching DS9 on Netflix, I would not skip.

The Muse. It seems worse then it is, coming in season 4, DS9's best year.

Sons and Daughters. There's nothing in it as bad as the other five. Reset.

Getting to the point where I have to vote through gritted teeth now. I'll cast a vote for Meridian, as it at least has an entertaining B-story, which is more than can be said for the other four.

I'll do Meridian this time. The A story alone might be the worst thing up here, but the B story is charming and introduces Jeffrey Combs to Star Trek.

"LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN..." gets my vote this round for the same reason as last time.

This is fun; I like this :-)

My vote's for "The Muse." Loften and Brook's chemistry forgives a lot of sins, and the final reveal of Jake's book title is touching. And, dumb as it may have been, I liked the Odo/Lwaxana subplot. It was sweet.

Now all skip episodes left. No idea what to vote for. I guess Emperor's New Cloak, because every episode left is stupid and it's the only one doing it intentionally.

The slight saving grace of let he who is without sin is that we learn that Curzon has a common point with a French President... they died the same way...

“Meridian”, it was a decent Dax episode.

Adding back the point for Emperor's New Cloak that was removed because two people posted at the same time.

Everything left is either straight up crap or just plain boring. But each of them has at least one saving grace, in this case I'll go with Sin's Worf scene.

For me, "Sin" and "Cloak" are the two total failures here. "Melora" is also purely terrible, but it's slightly more forgiveable because it's early season 2 and they're still working out the kinks.

"The Muse", on the other hand, has some good stuff mixed in there. Rene Auberjonois and Majel Barrett are doing wonderful work here, and it ends Lwaxana's story with real growth.

I will vote for "THE MUSE" this time. The A story creatively sucked (pun intended), but at leadt it was a nice touch having ANSLEM be the book he was writing. Also, as pointed out by others, the B story had a lot of growth for Lwaxana, and some for Odo.
