Voting If Wishes Were Horses. I like the concept of the episode and the discovery they created the anomaly with their imaginations.

Well I was about to come and vote or whatever but nothing has happened, which is amusing as the first few episodes just disappeared.

@Sakonna if I thought I was tired yesterday, I've topped myself today. I've finally finished my 7 day stretch at work, which the last two days have been 6am starts. The heat has been stopping me sleeping properly, but then last night I had to go back into work for a meeting, 830-10pm, then back in at 6 this morning. I was both hot and thinking about work all night. It's cruel and unusual punishment.

Then instead of being able to have a nap or something I've had to nip into the local city for a specialist appointment that I have every six months, via bus because I don't drive. I finally got home at 5.

 

[BigDaveX]

Sooo... what happens now? If memory serves, usually after 48 hours with no votes whichever episode first got 3 votes is eliminated, but none of the episodes have more than 2 votes right now!

 

[Sakonna]

We eliminate the one with the most votes after 48 hours. If episodes are tied, we eliminate the one that got there first, in this case "Playing God."

So, starting another round, with a point for "Q-Less" again. Though I could just as easily go any of these first three -- these season 1 & 2 installments are still trying to figure out the show, so I view them more forgivingly. The later episodes don't have that excuse!

One more for If Wishes Were Horses for me. It's a little silly but I've never disliked it. They managed to make something unique kind of charming. And Julian's fantasy is funny.

Q-Less isn't a great episode, but de Lancie's performance and that punch put it above most of the others on this list.

By the way, I want to give my thanks and appreciation to Sakonna for getting this back on track with the 48 hours vote. I have had A LOT happening the last few days, and I just finished a 11 hour drive from Miami to Atlanta for DragonCon.

(Which I may end up having to cut a day short because of that damned hurricane.)

 

[Farscape One]

You already voted for it this round. For the final round, it's one vote per round.

[Terok Nor]

Sorry.

 

[Sakonna]

Allow me to unstick us again! 48 hours since a vote, "Q-Less" is eliminated and a new rounds begins.

I'll do "If Wishes Were Horses" this time. By season 1 standards, it's a fine episode. I love that quick snowstorm on the Promenade.

[BigDaveX]

I’ll cast a vote for Prophet Motive, which has many amusing moments, plus I do kinda prefer the original depiction of the Prophets as advanced and inscrutable aliens, rather than the more overtly religious characters they became after this episode.

[PSGarak]

Yeah, I'll toss a vote Prophet Motive's way. It was kind of meh overall but less offensively awful than some still around, and I kind of liked that the award basically went to somebody nobody knew that much about.

One more for If Wishes. One of the weird quirky but somehow lovable ones from season 1.

I'll give If Wishes Were Horse a reprieve and give it the fourth vote. It's not the worst episode,I guess, with lots of funny Bashir/'Dax' scenes.

New list:

[Sakonna]

I'll do "Prophet Motive." It's a clever way to bring the Prophets back onto the series. It's not as bad as most later Ferengi eps. The subplot is cute.

Prophet Motive, as I do think it's one of the more solid Ferengi episodes.
