The Most Disliked Episode of TNG - Season 3...

[Sakonna]

There's some problems with "The Bonding" ("Jeremy, on the starship Enterprise, no one is alone. Except you, who we will now leave alone. Enjoy the videos of your dead mom!"), but I think it basically works and I liked the direct grappling with what the experiences for kids would be on this endlessly imperiled ship, with death looming at every turn.

"The Survivors" survives. Aside from a good story and mystery, I thought it was an excellent showcase of Picard and his detective skills. He figured the whole thing out pretty much solo.

It was a blah episode, but the teaser with Data critiquing Picard's painting was one of the best scenes in Trek. A matter of perspective is eliminated.

I like A Matter of Perspective too. It aired on my 10th birthday, a week before Yesterday's Enterprise. At that age, I found Yesterday's Enterprise confusing, but A Matter of Perspective easy to follow.

I like the subtle differences between each witness's take on the events, such as Apgar's version where he beats up Riker, a man twice his size.

"You're a dead man, Apgar, a dead man!"

 

[Brennyren]

I'll spring "Booby Trap," because it has one of my favorite little moments in all TNG: the "didn't anyone else ever build a ship in a bottle" conversation. I'll never forget how the others all look at O'Brien (who had) as if to say "suck-up!"

There were a bunch of Wesley saves the day episodes in season 3 too. Just looking at the episodes left: The Enemy and Menage a Troi.

 

[Armus]

The Enemy really should be gone by now. Three plotlines that merge effortlessly, a great Picard, Geordi, and Worf episode.

The Hunted
Menage A Troi

I don't love it so much anymore, but I loved "Menage A Troi" as a kid and thus still retain some residual fondness for it. Meanwhile, "Transfigurations" is probably the single most boring TNG ep, "The Price" has one of the grossest and most off-putting ROTW's in all of Trek, and "The Hunted" is just kind of meh (it suffers a lot from it's similarity and proximity to the superior "The High Ground").

So, "Menage A Troi" it is. It does a nice job of taking two compromised storytelling assets -- Lwaxana and the Ferengi -- and using them to patch the shortcomings of the other. And it was nice to see Betazed.

The Price
The Hunted
Transfigurations

 

[Farscape One]

I will find "The Hunted". I actually really enjoy the episode, and gives a good message of the need to take better care of our veterans who fight for our causes.

The Price
Transfigurations

 

[Spirit of 73]

I'll save The Price. It's bad, but at least it doesn't have dialogue like what they asked the guest actor to say in Transfigurations.

So Transfigurations is our "winner".

 

[Farscape One]

The 'winner' of season 3 is "Transfigurations". I think it took the prize the last time we did a season 3 of this game.

I'll be starting season 4 in a bit.

 

[Armus]

Transfigurations is a great episode to doze off to.
