Without question, season 3 is the best season. So which do I vote to save first?

"Disengage" is my first vote.

Worf beheading someone never gets old.

Disengage first up.

It was a part of the excellent third season and needs saving.

"Disengage" This is a fantastic episode. I'm not sure I have any complaints about it at all.

I'm bracing myself for the inevitable disappointment these first two rounds will be

 

[Poldon]

"Et in Arcadia Ego 1" as I think it is under appreciated.

"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 1
"Dominion" - 0
"Disengage" - 3

 

[Farscape One]

48 hours have passed, so "Disengage" is saved.

New round.

Voting for "Dominion". I like the episode, and no season 3 episode should win Most Disliked of PICARD.

"Et in Arcadia Ego 1" again. Season 1 is my favourite, and this sets up a good finale.

'Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 0
"Dominion" - 1

 

[Sakonna]

"Dominion" Any season three episode just blows the rest of these out of the water.

'Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 0
"Dominion" - 2

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Sticking with my original vote, nothing from the irredeemable season 3 deserves to be saved and I will hold the line despite the futility.

"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 1
"Dominion" - 2

Despite being the weakest episode from S3, Dominion is still high above the rest.


Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 1
"Dominion" - 3

 

[Farscape One]

48 hours have passed, so "Dominion" is saved.

New round.

I simply cannot vote for a season 2 episode yet, because that season is the worst in the franchise. So that leaves me with trying to figure out which season 1 episode to vote for now.

Voting for "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1". It's slightly better than "Broken Pieces".



"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 0

Disappointing but unsurprising, tis the way chocolate chip cookies and other biscuits crumble.

The wheels keep turning.

"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 1
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 1

 

[Poldon]

"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" as before.

"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 2
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 0
"Mercy" - 1

 

[Sakonna]

I'm a fan of season 2, so I wish I could line up with "Mercy", but honestly that's the ONLY episode from that season I truly can. not. stand. The discursion with Picard & Guinan in FBI custody just drives me insane. Every choice is wrong. It is the most frustrating subplot.

But I do properly like "Hide And Seek", so I'll go for that.


"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 2
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 1
"Mercy" - 1

 

[Seven of Five]

Et in Arcadia Ego I had the slightly stronger Brent Spiner character, especially compared to season 2.

Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" - 3
"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 1
"Mercy" - 1

 

[Sakonna]

I see it's been 48 hours since the last vote, so I'll (sadly) remove "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1", and give my vote for the next round to "Hide And Seek" again. The Jurati/Queen material in this episode is legit exceptional (and I'm fairly happy with the other plot threads in it as well).

"Broken Pieces" - 0
"Hide and Seek" - 1
"Mercy" - 0

 

[Farscape One]

Thank you, Sakonna, for taking care of that.

Now that there is only one season 1 episode left, it makes my voting this round easy.

Voting "Broken Pieces". Because it is NOT a season 2 episode is all the reason I need at this point.


"Broken Pieces" - 1
"Hide and Seek" - 1
"Mercy" - 0

 

[Poldon]

I can get behind "Hide and Seek". The Borg/Jurati stuff is the highlight of the missing season 2.

"Broken Pieces" - 1
"Hide and Seek" - 2
"Mercy" - 0
