The Most Disliked Episode of TNG, Season 1: 2021 Edition...

Or that the stupid vaccine can't be replicated. There's really no reason for the vaccine to be non-replicateable except "we need a reason why they don't just take Tasha back"
There's, of course, also the problem of why a vaccine to some space plague is found on a completely unrelated, far-flung planet, but I suppose that could be justified with some precursor empire or something like that, if somebody really wants to spend energy fixing plot holes in Code of Honour.

"Code of Honor" is not a great episode by any means, but it did have one scene that helped establish the great friendship of Data and Geordi.

It wins season 1. I'll post tomorrow what I think is the most dangerous season... season 2.

(By most dangerous, I am talking about how it makes space feel really deadly.)

Even the worst episodes can still have a scene or idea that's either good or has potential to be despite everything else. The Geordi+Data double act was always first rate. If only the rest of the episode was even remotely as good as that scene.

I'm not surprised at all, "Code of Honor" is simply the worst episode in the franchise. It's one of the few episodes that I simply don't have any positives things to say about it. I'm just glad that the show took a left turn and became so much better.

I like “We’ll Always Have Paris” quite a bit. Certainly more than mediocre stinkers like “Too Short a Season, “Datalore” and “When the Bough Breaks” and infinitely more than garbage like “Code of Honor”

"Angel One" is worse than "Code of Honor".

I maintain the actors of Code of Honor are trying to elevate terrible material. Angel Ones are just awful all round and have an even worse premise.

I'll second that. An episode trying (poorly) to invert the "more advanced" trope was potentially great, and certainly not often used. The execution at script level was so pitiful... but I did get a string vibe from the cast, all trying to make do with a poor script. Jessie Lawrence Ferguson is mesmerizing with his on-screen presence. Yarena's only problem is due to the script being so sappy that her, being a counterpart of Yar, also sledgehammers the audience with her name's first syllable being "Yar" to ensure that everyone's seeing the brilliant parallels being made. But of "the bottom tier three", CoH is least worst. But, whew, they've all got the worst script treatment.

"Justice", like "Code of Honor", had another interesting premise that's squandered as badly as yet another "prime directive spectacular" known as...

..."Angel One". Except it doesn't do much with the prime directive, and it doesn't even begin to take the cliched "battle of the sexes" schlock and do anything with it, except take it all backwards with some dreadfully hammy dialogue, and the actors are all sleepwalking through it all. Can't blame them... The virus subplot easily had the most potential, but they do little with it too beyond the most superficial and by-the-numbers.

I like all these episodes because they're terrible. Hence my non participation.

Oh and thanks for protecting us from wrongthink @Mutai Sho-Rin ! You're doing a great job.

There's infinite space in The Neutral Zone for political extremism of all shapes. In my judgement, the series forums are not the place.

I'm sorry, but that is false. The Neutral Zone is very restrictive about what political beliefs may be expressed.

Transphobia isn't a political belief, it's bigotry.

Not at all.

It's simply no more tolerant of bigotry than any other forum on the board.

 

[Oddish]

Transphobia isn't a political belief, it's bigotry.

Disagree. A lot of politics occurs when the rights of two parties come into conflict. The rights of the unborn child vs. the rights of the mother is an example. A person's political views are determined by whose rights they feel should prevail. But, that's not necessarily hatred or bigotry. Being pro-choice does not mean you hate babies.

I didn't see anything political in the video.

 

[Oddish]

It might have been the site it was on, rather than the video itself. There's such a thing as guilt by association.

You're wrong. People get bounced from that forum for unregenerate bigotry. And even that ain't easy. It's a fact; there's no "agree to disagree" there.

 

[Markonian]

Transphobia isn't a political belief, it's bigotry.

Disagree.

You sure you want to make that stand?

 

[Oddish]

I don't consider myself a bigot, and no amount of playground style name calling is going to change my mind. I just don't feel as AP does regarding a very specific issue.
