The Most Disliked Episode of TAS, Season 1 - 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!

[Farscape One]

My first save of TAS is a supremely easy one... "YESTERYEAR".

I'm probably not alone in saying this... it was the best episode of this series. Period.

[Sakonna]

"The Jihad" A bunch of weird aliens on a bizarre quest - SOLD. Such a fun watch. I love that it even has a bit of a "season finale" feel.

Saving The Slaver Weapon, the intersection of Known Space and Trek. Plus, I like the way our heroes use the misogyny of the Kzin against them.

I like the way our heroes use the misogyny of the Kzin against them.

And nobody loses an arm this time.

I'm saving The Lorelei Signal because Uhura in command is worth the price of admission all by itself. The way she apprises all hands of the situation while taking full reponsibility shows her professionalism and courage, and also that she is keenly aware that this could all go very badly.

Saving "THE TIME TRAP".

I love this one. Great concept all around.

And a lot of this episode forms the bones of VOY's "THE VOID", which is by far my favorite episode of their 7th season.

Saving the opening episode, Beyond the Farthest Star, with that most alien of alien starships offering up the promise of what the animation could do. TPTB didn't always hit the potential but it was a great start nonetheless.
