My first vote for the Finals is "CHOSEN REALM".

No Roxann Dawson directed episode should be in the Finals. Plus with all that's going on in the world right now, it's a good reminder of why religions can be so bad.

Well this is certainly a group of episodes isn't it...I guess Harbinger is probably the most re-watchable of this list as it is at least a relatively important part of season 3's overall story.

This bunch of episodes represents all the things that I find wrong about Enterprise...weak recycling of plots used several times before in Star Trek, empty episodes with no meaning or contribution to the whole...


I shall vote for "Canamar". An action episode that's quite watchable even if it's generic.

I know it won't do any good, but my first vote (and probably all my votes) goes to "Precious Cargo" - my most watched episode of ENT. I love it!
There's a first contact, a ridiculous but most amusing deception, an entertaining guest star (who looks like she's about to burst into laughter at several points), some great directing (I love the scene when Malcolm intercepts Plinn on his way to his ship), and Trip in his smalls again
It might not be great Trek, it might be based on a tired trope, it might not progress (or contain) any significant character development, but I find it almost endlessly entertaining and light-hearted fun!

Trip in his smalls again

This is the sole reason that when the time comes, I will elect to save it before TATV.

 

[Oddish]

I don't remember CANAMAR being all that bad. In a pool of "all that bad", that's enough.

Think Canamar for me.

Dull but better than the rest.

It will matter little as this round will probably end soon but the vote for Precious Cargo wasn't carried over in the last couple copy and pastes.

 

[Cyfa]

My vote! My vote! I'm being suppressed!

Or am I really so oblivious to Precious Cargo's terribleness? No, that can't be it. Precious Cargo's brilliant! So, if there's nothing wrong with Precious Cargo, maybe there's something wrong with the universe! /beverlycrusher

I'll save "Canamar." I actually wrote a save of this in that thread, and then when it was in the finals I was like, didn't I save that? But I see now I wrote the save, but never clicked post!

Anyway, my reason was about as wan as possible, and that was that I do like the sci-fi prison trope. This episode does nothing good with it. It is very possibly the worst execution of that trope I have ever seen, but... I mean this is a terrible lineup of episodes from a terrible show, that's about as positive as I can come up with!

So I'll save that and give my next point to "Chosen Realm", which is awful but also the one of these I would choose to watch right now if you held a gun to my head and told me I had to do one of them.

Chosen Realm had some interesting ideas so that's next for me.

[Cyfa]

Well, you know what I'm saving: "Precious Cargo"!!
The same reasons as before, plus Kaitaama displays some common sense in treating Trip's wound in case of infection by alien bacteria etc.
Unless... Was it just a ruse to get his top off?!
Eh. Either's good with me

There was a great temptation to vote for "Chosen Realm" in an attempt to bring to a faster conclusion, the misery of trying to choose between this sorry bunch of episodes. Mindful that the rules forbid tactical voting, I am, instead, choosing "Harbinger" for the Trip/T'Pol and MACO Guy/Reed storylines.

I've just rewatched "Chosen Realm" and as much as I despise it, technically it seems well done. It also features the return of Phlox's Pyrithian bat, so that's something.
