The MOST Disliked Episode of TNG - Final Part...

Voting for Birthright, part two, because of those remaining it's got the most small positives. I like the idea of the generational POW camp. Though it might have been interesting if he found Mogh alive there with a Romulan half sister.

I'll go for Angel One this round all on Riker, Troi and Yar's "feather" scene.

I'll save Birthright II because, although it's still a dud, it has the most interesting concept of the remaining episodes.

I'm going back to The Outrageous Okona. It is a very funny episode.

Can I play? While I cannot recall all the episodes off the top of my head, I will give a point to The Naked Now, because of the lasting impact it has on Data. Of all the episodes here (that I recall) it seems that one is the most impactful for a main character's development. Even if it is in S1.

I will clothe "The Naked Now" with a point. Someone mentioned before that if the episode was produced later in season one, it would have been better. I have to agree with that. It's one of those rare cases where the placement of an episode in the series is not a benefit.

I'll make this a quick round and save The Naked Now. I actually think one or two of the other stories here are better, but it's definitely not the worst of the group.

I like a quite a few of the episode listed. I will select "Homeward" becasue I liked the story, and good guest star.

I suspect I'll be alone on this one but I find Menage a Troi pretty amusing.

Homeward. The basic idea behind the story is actually quite a neat one, and Paul Sorvino gives a strong guest performance. Really, it's only the Prime Directive stuff at the start that drags the story down.

You are not alone, BlueStuff. I find "Menage a Troi" amusing, as well. I give it a point for the same reasons I stated a couple rounds ago.

I'm also OK with Menage A Troi... I don't mind it. There's some fun stuff in there and it's a good use of the Ferengi

I'm deleting Ménage à Troi from the list as I am an immense pervert, also I like seeing Wesley get promoted at the end.

I'll do "The Host" this round. The problem with this one is that it doesn't age well... after DS9 so successfully revamped the Trill, this rough early version of them just feels a bit creaky, not as interesting.

That being said, if you set that aside and view it in isolation, "The Host" is a perfectly fine episode -- one of their stronger attempts at a ROTW.

I will give a point to "Journey's End". Not the best sendoff for Wesley, but at least he is doing things that most other humans won't be able to.
