The Most Disliked Episode of ENT, Season 3: 2021 Edition...

"EXTINCTION" because it's funny stupid instead of just being stupid. I mean the aliens are ridiculous, they behave like apes or the Ferengi in the infamous "The Last Outpost" but we're supposed to believe that they built a great civilization with ultra-advanced technology. I've seen gorillas with more dignity and restraint!

And Archer's idea to keep a vial of the virus around... Wow!! I mean did he drink wood alcohol or something?

THE XINDI
THE SHIPMENT
CHOSEN REALM
HARBINGER
 
I forgot about this thread yesterday in my confusion regarding Paramount+ shafting international DIS fans. :techman:

The Xindi is a decent opener to season 3, showing how the action has gone up in production terms. It's just a shame Archer got kidnapped for the millionth time. Is there some sort of promotion with a restaurant where they offer a free meal by collecting capture medals?

Archer is such an ass in these episodes. I mean he's spent all this time energy and resources/manpower finding and talking to this guy. He sees that this guy has been abducted and condemned to a life of slavery for nothing just like he was about to be. He's responsible for the guy losing a finger and he was willing to just leave him there! What kind of an asshole would do such a thing?
 
I'll save "The Shipment", which I do think is one of the stronger eps this season, surprised it made it this close to the end.

The "Chosen Realm" antagonists are so smug and off-putting that the episode is a highly unpleasant watch, and "Harbinger" just fills me with rage. That Reed/Hayes pissing match story is intolerable!

CHOSEN REALM
HARBINGER

The two episodes left are terrible however "CHOSEN REALM" at least shows us fanatics who are supposed to act outrageously.

The loser of this season, aka "HARBINGER", shows us that Reed is an imbecile of the first magnitude. His stupid jealousy toward the Maco guy doesn't even make sense since he's the commanding officer. In essence, that episode could be titled "Reed Is An Incompetent Ass".
 
And "HARBINGER" is the winner.

I've never been a fan of this one much, so I'm not sad this episode wins. Thank you all for playing. I'll start the final season shortly.
 
I think I stopped watching both Chosen Realm and Harbinger, so either would be a worthy choice. Harbinger it is, then.
 
"Harbinger" is truly horrid. I struggle to think of another episode with a wider gulf between the pettiness of the character conflict and the scale of the stakes. Reed's only problem is pure ego, meanwhile the mission he's jeopardizing with this bullshit is "save all humanity." Get over yourself, man! Not since Worf in "Let He Who Is Without Sin" has a Trek character been done so dirty by such a trash script.
 
I think Harry in "Nightingale" rates at least an honorable mention. Make that a dishonorable mention.
