The Most Disliked Episode of TAS, Final Round: 2021 Edition...

Farscape One

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

Season One: THE TERRATIN INCIDENT
Wild Card: THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Season Two: THE PRACTICAL JOKER
Wild Card: BEM

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 3 points, it is eliminated. Then a NEW round begins (in this thread) with the numbers restored to 0. Vote ONCE per round. And enjoy! :bolian:
 
Giving a point to "BEM". I don't think it's as bad as the rest.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" - 0
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 0
"BEM" - 1
 
Ditto for the same reason.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" - 0
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 0
"BEM" - 2
 
I like Eye better than BEM.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" - 1
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 0
"BEM" - 2
 
I will give a point to "BEM", purely on the basis of it's stock having recently risen with that mid-season Lower Decks trailer that
showed another Pandronian.

So that saves "BEM", and I'll give my point for the next round to "Eye Of The Beholder", which is a perfectly nice episode. It's not a favorite, but I like it well enough (fun creature designs), and these other two I do actively dislike.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" - 1
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 0
 
Eye again for me. The better of the three remaining.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" - 2
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 0
 
It's a close call as these three are equally pathetic but I'll go with the eye, it's slightly better than the two others.

So that means that there are only two left and I choose the Joker. The tiny people just don't do it for me.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 1
 
Huh. Tough call. It's essentially a tie, I have bad feelings about both, but "Terratin Incident" I can recall very few specifics of why, while with "Joker" I can think of lots of reasons I hate it.

I think the metric I'm going to go with is: memorably bad is better than forgettably bad, so final point to "Practical Joker."

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" - 0
"THE PRACTICAL JOKER" - 2
 
I have to agree that as a reason, I don't remember "THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" much. So I give my final point to "THE PRACTICAL JOKER"... plus 'Kirk is a Jerk' is funny.

"THE TERRATIN INCIDENT" wins the 2021 edition! Thank you all for playing. TNG season 1 will be next, which I will post tomorrow.
