The Most Disliked Episode of ENT, Final Round: 2021 Edition...

As there have been no new votes in 48 hours, "CANAMAR" is saved, as it was the first one to reach 2 votes.

My vote this round goes to "CHOSEN REALM", same reasons as before.


"TERRA NOVA" - 0
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"HARBINGER" - 0
"CHOSEN REALM" - 1
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 0

 

"Harbinger", also for the same reasons as before (Tripol shipper).

"TERRA NOVA" - 0
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"HARBINGER" - 1
"CHOSEN REALM" - 1
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 0

 

The random number generator said 5, so I'm going to ignore it and choose "Harbinger" too.

"TERRA NOVA" - 0
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"HARBINGER" - 2
"CHOSEN REALM" - 1
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 0

 

I guess that Harbinger had a somewhat interesting conflict between Hayes and Reed.

The ONLY thing about "THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." that was defendable was the final voiceover of Archer, Kirk, and Picard and showing their ships.

Take that out, and it's one of those very few on my list.

 

Yes, that and... call me corny if you want, but I loved the scene just a few minutes before that, with T'Pol saying to Archer he is a hero, Archer hugging T'Pol and then the very beginnings of the Federation. Unfortunately, the episode ended altogether with that bloody holodeck simulation. Dreadful episode.

 

I agree that scene was nice, but it felt hollow because of the entire episode being a holodeck simulation.

 

But it allows me to say in head canon that the episode's stupidest elements were based on errant historical data.

 

This time, I'm going with "Harbinger" as well, which takes it to 4 votes. While there is an episode left that I enjoy more and have watched more, I actually quite like "Harbinger" too - mainly for the Trip & T'Pol interactions, but Hayes & Reed's stupid conflict is amusingly ridiculous which I find entertaining (I think they should get together, too!).

Well, I'm going to keep on voting for "CHOSEN REALM" until it gets saved.

"STORM FRONT" - 0

 

Trek's first long term same-sex romance, just out of the blue from two guys who were just fighting. THAT would gobsmack your audience!

 

Random number generator says "3". So "Chosen Realm" it is!

"TERRA NOVA" - 0
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"CHOSEN REALM" - 2
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 0

 

So, it was... wait for it...



Chosen... by the number generator.

 

"Chosen Realm" for me as well, by far (I hate all the other remaining ones). I liked how it dealt with bigotry and how these religious extremists gave a whole new meaning to the spheres, even if they were wrong.

"TERRA NOVA" - 0
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"CHOSEN REALM" - 3
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 0

 

I will vote for "Chosen Realm" again, so that's saved.

I'll give my next round point to "Storm Front", because it reminds me of how I like some of the other Trek episodes about alien Nazi's. This episode however is irredeemably terrible with not one good moment in it. But so are the other three, so that's the closest thing I have to a positive comment.

"TERRA NOVA" - 0
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 1

 

I'm torn between 2 episodes, so I'll vote for the one that doesn't deal with the Temporal Cold War.

"TERRA NOVA" gets my next vote.

I reluctantly give my vote to "Terra Nova". An awful episode but at least, the initial idea of a forsaken Human colony living underground was interesting. They just made a snoozefest out of it.

"TERRA NOVA" - 2
"PRECIOUS CARGO" - 0
"THESE ARE THE VOYAGES..." - 0
"STORM FRONT" - 1

 

I feel violated doing it but I'll vote for Terra Nova. It's such an annoying episode to me, yet not quite as bad as the other turds.
