The Most Disliked Episode of PRO, Season 2 - 2025 Edition...

[Farscape One]

Welcome to our bi-yearly 'Most Disliked Episode' games! Now that the 'Least Disliked Episode' games hosted by BlueStuff (who inspired me to create these games, so thank you very much for paving the way) have concluded, we can begin the opposite side of that coin.

Here's the game. The basic idea is your standard elimination game. I'll provide a list of the episodes for each season and you need to eliminate your most favorite or the one you deem the 'best.' Please provide an EXPLANATION for why you are eliminating your choice and be sure to copy and paste the list with your choice removed. Finally, leave at least 2 eliminations by other posters before you eliminate another episode.

No tactical voting! You cannot remove an episode because you feel they would threaten your preferred episode's chance to win. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

Season 2 of PRODIGY was fantastic! There were a LOT of great gems this season, but there is one that I think may be the best episode of the ENTIRE Kurtzman era of the franchise.

And that episode: "IS THERE IN BEAUTY NO TRUTH?". So this is an easy first save.

Zero is my favorite character on the show, so an episode that focuses on him is always going to be a good one to me. But this was just above and beyond what I was expecting. Watching Zero experience living with senses for the first time, seeing Zero simply enjoy just being with senses, and Zero's choice at the end and the reasons for it... there is only one word that can begin to do justice to this episode.

Beautiful.

This episode was simply beautiful. Easily a 10 for me, and is a tie with only one other episode of the current era (that one being SNW's "Under the Cloak of War") as being the best of it and the only two that can go toe to toe with the best of the classic era.

I wish I liked this season more. I liked a lot along the way, but as a complete piece, it did not cohere for me.

I'll save "Cracked Mirror", for the evil whale. That was brilliant.

The Last Flight Of The Protostar Part 1 was pretty epic!

It also made me care about Chakotay more than any VOY episode!

This season was better the more episodic it allowed itself to be. The next-most-episodic episode remaining on this list is "A Tribble Called Quest", so saving that.

"The Fast And The Curious" I like when modern Trek tries to get something worthwhile out of the Kazon.

I guess I liked the whale stuff in "Observer's Paradox."

This season really doesn't do it for me, which I'm realizing more as this game goes on. It was the serialized season arc. I just thought it was all wrong, so needlessly convoluted. I would do big full-family watches of this show. We had all ages covered, from grandparents down to kids in the exact target age range. And there wasn't a one of us who didn't find the season arc confused, clunky, and inaccessible.

The fact that it was such a barrier for the kids particularly annoys me still. A real missed opportunity.

Ill go with The Devourer Of All Things Part 2, as i thought enemies were nicely realised on screen.

What scary villains as well.

Good continuation of the two-part season premiere.

I just loathe all of these. I have nothing positive to say about any of them.

I suppose I feel this last arc with Ascencia got worse as it went along, so I'll save the earliest component, "Ascension, Part I." But I hate it. I can't even do my usual thing of picking out one good line or moment and praising that. No praise! Only hate! Just one tiny fraction of a micron less hate than the others.

"ASCENSION, PART II"
"BRINK"
"TOUCH OF GREY"

 

[Seven of Five]

I'll save Ascension, Part II as the FX were quite spiffy, and I like Ascencia's arc in these episodes compapred to the later episodes.

"BRINK"
"TOUCH OF GREY"s

 

[Farscape One]

I'll save "TOUCH OF GREY".

I like it better than "BRINK", so it becomes the season 2 winner.

Thank you all for playing! I will post the PRODIGY Final Round very shortly. Hope to see you there!
