The MOST Disliked Episode of STAR TREK - Final Part...

I'll give Mudd a point if it will stop the Enterprise crewmen from drooling. The Starfleet clean up crews are complaining about the wet carpets.

I bet credits to navy beans that "Catspaw" beats out those damned annoying children.

Yeah, but there's no money in the future.....

:rolleyes::rofl:;)
Scotty is certainly a proletarian victim of capitalism, being required to earn his pay for the week while constantly appeasing Kirk, the bourgeoisie taskmaster, lest he get fired.

No money in the future. Right.

Hahaha! Well played sir!
 
My vote goes to "THE APPLE", for the same reasons as last time. It has been saved. Votes are reset. Next round!

Catspaw. None of the remaining three are particularly good, but Catspaw at least offers a lot of unintentional laughs, and while it has its own share of problems relating to gender politics, they're not quite as in-your-face as they are in Mudd's Women.

If I imagine that Conestoga wagons had warp drive, and lithium crystals are gold, I can accept “Mudd’s Women” on those terms. It’s a beautifully shot episode with an agreeably cross Kirk against the iconic Harry Mudd.

As much as it feels weird doing so...I vote "And the Children" on the simple fact that it's really creepy, I like Sulu trying to avoid the sword gauntlet, and the scene where they get ice cream out of the food synthesizers.

I am trying to save "CATSPAW". Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I am a sucker for such themes.

Gave it to Mudd's women as a study in women being valued for looks alone, so it's a snapshot of the era.

One more for "Mudd's Women" only for the fact that it is interesting as the second production filmed episode and it's fun seeing the characters not quite established how we come to know them.

Well, now we're into the home stretch! I'll give a point to Catspaw again. Like I said in the last round, it's at least entertainingly bad, where And the Children Shall Lead is, IMO, the only episode of TOS that's irredeemably awful.

I actively like Catspaw. Not even grudgingly!

The Old Ones, Jungian race memory, sympathetic magic. Oh, Happy Halloween, Star Trek.

I'm sorry to be the contrarian...but Catspaw does less for me than Children Shall Lead.

Ugh...painful though.

My saving vote this round goes to "CATSPAW", for the same reasons as stated before. (Plus, I saw "AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD" on Heroes & Icons the other night, and whenever the kids use the hand trick, it just makes me cringe.)

The Most Disliked episode of 2018 goes to "AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD"!!!

Thank you all for playing. I am currently doing the Animated Series, Least Disliked first, followed immediately by Most Disliked Animated. Then, I will move to TNG.
