[Farscape One]

Here we have the winners and runners up of each season:

Season One: MIRI
Wild Card: MUDD'S WOMEN
Season Two: THE APPLE
Wild Card: ASSIGNMENT: EARTH
Season Three: AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
Wild Card: PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN

So now it is time for the final part.

*RULES*

Give what you consider to be the best/your most favorite episode ONE point, and briefly explain WHY. Be sure to copy and paste the list with your point added. When an episode reaches 4 points, it is eliminated. Then a NEW round begins (in this thread) with the numbers restored to 0. Vote ONCE per round. And enjoy!

 

[Farscape One]

I'll start by giving a point to THE APPLE. I've always enjoyed this episode, and does deserve to be on this list.

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 0
THE APPLE - 1
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 0

 

[JonnyQuest037]

..."The Alternative Factor" didn't walk away with S1? What the hell?

 

[JonnyQuest037]

I'll give another point to "The Apple." Dodgy alien makeup aside, it's fine.

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 0
THE APPLE - 2
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 0

 

[BigDaveX]

Yeah, The Apple's problem is more that it's generic and unmemorable, rather than outright bad.

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 0
THE APPLE - 3
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 0

 

[Discofan]

So The Apple is eliminated

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 0

Of these, "Plato's Stepchildren" is the one that just doesn't belong for me. I basically like it, which is not true of any of the others.

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

 

[Spock's Barber]

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 1
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

Harcourt Fenton Mudd bribed me into voting for his women.

 

[Spock's Barber]

..."The Alternative Factor" didn't walk away with S1? What the hell?

We couldn’t figure out which Lazarus to vote against.

 

[Farscape One]

ASSIGNMENT: EARTH gets a point this round. Not a bad episode, just a little different from the rest.

MIRI - 0
MUDD'S WOMEN - 1
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

 

[antinoos]

MIRI is the only episode with children that don't actually annoy me

MIRI - 1
MUDD'S WOMEN - 1
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

 

[JonnyQuest037]

MIRI - 1
MUDD'S WOMEN - 2
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

Another point for "Mudd's Women." I definitely like it the best out of this bunch. Yeah. the gender politics are dated, but it's still entertaining.

We couldn’t figure out which Lazarus to vote against.

...Can I somehow give @Spock's Barber a point, too?

 

[Qonundrum]

Add another to Mudd's Women. I reviewed it some time ago but of the bunch that remain (interesting options, LOL), MW is the best of them.

MIRI - 1
MUDD'S WOMEN - 3
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

 

[Spock's Barber]

Add another to Mudd's Women. I reviewed it some time ago but of the bunch that remain (interesting options, LOL), MW is the best of them.

MIRI - 1
MUDD'S WOMEN - 3
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

Uh, oh. ATCSL is falling behind already.

 

[Seven of Five]

I'm eliminating Mudd's Women. It's just a plodding story that hasn't aged well either. But it's still better than what is left with a few decent moments. Resetting the scores:

MIRI - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 0
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 0

 

[BigDaveX]

Assignment: Earth, as it has some really great ideas in there, it's just the fact that it can't decide whether it wants to be its own pilot episode or an episode of TOS that really hurts it.

MIRI - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 0

 

[BlueStuff]

Plato’s Stepchildren has some entertainment value.

MIRI - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 1

 

[Sakonna]

Plato's again.

MIRI - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 1
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 2

 

[Seven of Five]

I always kind of liked Assignment: Earth. Yes I'm that one person.

MIRI - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 2
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 2

 

[Farscape One]

ASSIGNMENT: EARTH gets a point for the same reason as before.

MIRI - 0
ASSIGNMENT: EARTH - 3
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD - 0
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN - 2
