The Most Disliked Episode of The Animated Series - Season 1...

[Farscape One]

This is a twist on a game that is played here, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

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!

"The Infinite Vulcan"

An alien plant based life form, and a fifty-foot Spock clone. What's not to love?

[Sakonna]

The obvious save, but there's a reason it's the general consensus best TAS ep: "Yesteryear." An affecting story that does a great job of utilizing the possibilities of animation.

[Marsden]

I will pick THE JIHAD. It's a different kind of episode, but it's good. I like the team adventure and the world building in the background.

MORE TRIBBLES, MORE TROUBLES geys saved. Tribbles are really cute... I have a soft spot for them.

One of Our Planets is Missing, for handling the "do we have the right to kill this planet-devouring entity" debate a thousand times better than TNG's Silicon Avatar.

I have fun with "The Time Trap", I like how they cram every alien in there.

The Survivor because it has Romulans! It's weird because I always remember their second appearance was with the old style ships and yet, it's not!!! The Mandela effect again!

The Slaver Weapon. Nice change of pace to let a (mostly) different set of crewmembers take centre place for the episode, and the Kzinti somehow manage to pull off hot pink uniforms.

BEYOND THE FARTHEST STAR goes, boldly. I thought it was a cool idea.

BEYOND THE FARTHEST STAR goes, boldly.

Some of the best quotes in the opening

 

[Sakonna]

"The Lorelai Signal", for finally giving Uhura something to do.

THE MAGICKS OF MEGAS-TU
ONCE UPON A PLANET
MUDD'S PASSION
THE TERRATIN INCIDENT
THE AMBERGRIS ELEMENT
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 

[BigDaveX]

Once Upon a Planet. A solid outing, even if not in the same league as its prequel, and establishing that the Keeper had died between episodes was actually quite a ballsy move for an animated show of this era.

THE MAGICKS OF MEGAS-TU
MUDD'S PASSION
THE TERRATIN INCIDENT
THE AMBERGRIS ELEMENT
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 

[Farscape One]

THE MAGICKS OF MEGAS-TU goes. I always liked the idea of the episode.


MUDD'S PASSION
THE TERRATIN INCIDENT
THE AMBERGRIS ELEMENT
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 

[Henoch]

I'll save THE TERRATIN INCIDENT. It would be difficult to film the shrinking crew concept in live action (maybe the Land of the Giants sets were available ). I thought using the transporter MacGuffin was okay for this episode. If only they would use it once and not repeat for every ailment of the week.

MUDD'S PASSION
THE AMBERGRIS ELEMENT
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 

[Sakonna]

"The Ambergris Element" I have a soft spot for water worlds, sea monsters, that whole deal.

MUDD'S PASSION
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 

[BigDaveX]

Tough choice, as I don't actually think either of these episodes are that bad. However, I'll save Mudd's Passion - certain parts of it have aged really poorly, but Harry's presence and a few good jokes lift it above The Eye of the Beholder, which is just a bit too generic and doesn't seem to have thought out its moral very well.

THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER is the "winner."

 

[Marsden]

THE MAGICKS OF MEGAS-TU goes. I always liked the idea of the episode.

There goes my pick for winner.

 

[Farscape One]

THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER 'wins' season 1.

Season 2, which is short, is coming up.
