The MOST Disliked Episode of ENTERPRISE - Season One...

FIGHT OR FLIGHT
STRANGE NEW WORLD
UNEXPECTED
TERRA NOVA
BREAKING THE ICE
CIVILIZATION
FORTUNATE SON
DEAR DOCTOR
SLEEPING DOGS
FUSION
ROGUE PLANET
ACQUISITION
OASIS
DETAINED
FALLEN HERO
DESERT CROSSING
TWO DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS
SHOCKWAVE

I saved Shuttlepod one , Reed and Tucker bonding over T'Pols bum plus drinking whisky - very funny and well acted.
Sorry I’d have to disagree with you. Seriously when your best plot point is that, you are definitely scraping “the bottom of the bottle”.
 
I'll save FALLEN HERO if only for the back and forth T'pol did about her feelings for her (I know as a Vulcan she's supposed to have none but how else would you describe her attitude toward the ambassador?). At first, she worships her and then she despises her and then she worships her again and even more than before! Two more of these and it would have devolved into a comedy act.

Oasis. I'll forgive it being a rehash of DS9's "Shadowplay" on account of good atmosphere and visuals, and of course the guest turn by Rene Auberjonois.

I will eliminate "Rogue Planet"; I loved the night vision goggle things they had. I hope "Unexpected" wins which for me sans the Klingons was the most embarrassing episode of the series.

I kind of enjoy "Unexpected." It's big problem is pacing -- way to slow to start, then accelerating too rapidly near the end. But I like the basic thinking behind giving Trip a male pregnancy story. The visuals for our aliens of the week are unusually well designed.

Plus it has that no-gravity shower scene for Archer! Reviewing the remaining options really underscores how often nothing else on Enterprise was working, and the only satisfying thing to hang onto was that hot men were regularly taking their clothes off. "Ugh, 'Acquisition', but at least it has Trip in his underwear for the first half... 'Desert Crossing', so stupid, but it does have that extended shirtless sporting montage..."

This the stage where so-so episodes like ACQUISITION start looking good compared to what's ahead. Jeffrey Combs' Ferengi is very good though noticeably different from Brunt. Ethan Phillips does a good performance too.

Slim pickings here. I will save "DETAINED", just because of Dean Stockwell. And I do appreciate what they were trying to do in the episode, despite it falling flat.

TERRA NOVA
DESERT CROSSING

I'll save Desert Crossing. It's not great by any means, but Clancy Brown gives a good guest performance, and it's less dull than Terra Nova, and less derivative than Two Days and Two Nights.

He was best as the bad guy in Highlander though!;)
 
I've deleted Terra Nova, because I like those turtle mole critters and the allusion to Miri.

The winner is:

TWO DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS

That's ok the bottom of the bottle has the best taste. I don't need highbrow reasons to enjoy an episode.
 
"TWO DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS" takes the 'winning' prize for season 1.

Interesting how another Risa episode is a season 'winner'.

Thank you all for voting. I shall start season two shortly.

A lot of bad things happen to people who go to Risa. It's a wonder people are still going there.
