The Most Disliked Episode of STAR TREK - Season 3...

[Seven of Five]

I'll remove For the World is Hollow... It's one of McCoy's finer episodes, even if it's not the best episode out there.

THE PARADISE SYNDROME
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY?
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
WINK OF AN EYE
THE EMPATH
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON
THAT WHICH SURVIVES
THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR
THE WAY TO EDEN
THE CLOUD MINDERS

 

[Discofan]

"THE PARADISE SYNDROME" gets a save. Quite moving, at least it was the first time I saw it.

IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY?
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
WINK OF AN EYE
THE EMPATH
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON

I’m saving The Empath from those nasty aliens, Lal and Thaan.

 

[Henoch]

I'll save Wink Of An Eye simply for Deela . Hyper-acceleration was a neat idea, but mishandled at times (Like Scotty moving too slow at the Transporter Room, etc.)

PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN

[Discofan]

Looks like the noose is closing on ATCSL's neck.

 

[Discofan]

I am saving "IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY?" because I think the idea of a being so ugly that seeing it makes you crazy is a neat sci. fi. idea.

AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON
THAT WHICH SURVIVES
THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR
THE WAY TO EDEN
THE CLOUD MINDERS

 

[Spock's Barber]

Yup. Those poor little kiddies don’t stand a chance. ATCSL might just ‘win’ for the next 100 years.

 

[Henoch]

I'll save The Cloud Minders for two reasons: Droxine and Vanna . But seriously, the beauty of a cloud city like Stratos was classic SF, with the dirty, hidden world for the poor laborers, below. A little of Metropolis. The sex talk between Spock and Droxine was out of character for Spock. Maybe Droxine really got to him. Given the chance, I'd talk about anything with her.

PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON
THAT WHICH SURVIVES
THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR
THE WAY TO EDEN

 

[johnnybear]

...and the Klingon in Elaan was almost as menacing as Kang.

K L Smith who wanted to board the Enterprise and wasn't interested in any conditions! K L stands for Kenneth Lavelle by the way!
JB

 

[Farscape One]

The list is getting harder. I'll save THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR just because Scotty got some focus for a change.


AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON
THAT WHICH SURVIVES
THE WAY TO EDEN

 

[Discofan]

Boy, it's like "Sophie's Choice" in reverse!

I'll save the space hippies, IE "THE WAY TO EDEN"


AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON
THAT WHICH SURVIVES

 

[Talos IV]

THAT WHICH SURVIVES has an astoundingly obnoxious Spock, confusing makeup on helmslady Lt. Rahda, a cheap-looking planet set, paint-by-numbers direction, and a childish premise.

It also has an effective Lee Meriwether, good use of tracked background music, and some genuinely spooky moments. Call it a guilty pleasure, with more guilt than pleasure, but it's far more watchable than these four.

AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD
THE MARK OF GIDEON

 

[BlueStuff]

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield is safe for its cool visuals!

AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN
THE MARK OF GIDEON

 

[Spock's Barber]

AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN

Oh, the horror....

Mark of Gideon makes it by the width of an Andorian’s White hair.

 

[BigDaveX]

Let's see... the one with oodles of unintentional humour, or what iMHO is the only TOS episode with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever? Yeah, not really a contest, is it?

AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD is the "winner".

ATCSL has just three-peated!!!

ATCSL has just three-peated!!!

Still the chance of an upset in the final round. A chance that you'd need an electron microscope to pick out, but a chance nonetheless.

 

[Farscape One]

AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD is tge 'winner' of season 3. I'll post the Finsl Round of STAR TREK shortly.

 

[Discofan]

So no surprise then...

 

[Spock's Barber]

So no surprise then...

I guess not. It may not be unanimous but the voters have spoken.
