The Most Disliked Episode of TNG, Season 4 - 2025 Edition...

[Detached Nacelle]

Clues is my save, a fun little mystery episode and a good use of Data if it is a walking talking example of The Worf Effect.

"Suddenly Human"
"Final Mission"
"Galaxy's Child"
"The Nth Degree"
"The Host"
"The Mind's Eye"

 

[Seven of Five]

The Mind's Eye is an excellent Romulan episode with Geordi subjected to mind changing fun.

Suddenly( Human"
"Final Mission"
"Galaxy's Child"
"The Nth Degree"
"The Host"

 

[Sakonna]

"The Nth Degree" A satisfying second appearance for Barclay.

"Suddenly Human"
"Final Mission"
"Galaxy's Child"
"The Host"

 

[Starflight]

Saving "The Host", mostly because "Galaxy's Child" and "Suddenly Human" actively annoy me, and "Final Mission" is just so boring.

"The Host" is fine for what it is, the Trill are a cool concept, Riker suddenly becoming charismatic is funny, and I actually like the ending a lot where Beverly just thinks "this relationship is obviously not going to work".

"Suddenly Human"
"Final Mission"
"Galaxy's Child"

 

[Faintly Macabre]

I know that "Galaxy's Child" is disliked by many. I am not one of them. The creature, the creature's baby and the way the situation is handled is fine Star Trek. I don't see Geordi so much as creepy as someone who fails to distinguish between the real and the fictional (something that's a very real situation round fandoms) and it's refreshing to see an "outsider" who doesn't see a member of the Enterprise as a wonder worker. Issues are raised round holodeck privacy that are mportant but unfortunately not dealt with here or elsewhere in Star Trek and that is a pity. (Incidentally, had the problems caused by the computer's interpretation of an imprecise instruction been dealt with, we would never have got Moriarty)



"Suddenly Human"
"Final Mission"

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Ugh what a choice between the final two.

I suppose I will save Final Mission because at least it got rid of Wesley for the most part. I can't think of anything positive to be said about Suddenly Human.

 

[Frightscape One]

I guess Jono will be howling the B'Nar, since "Suddenly Human" wins season 4.

Thank you all for playing. I will start season 5 shortly. Hope to see everyone there!

 

[Sakonna]

"Suddenly Human" really is one of the most disliked episodes of them all. Doesn't it always win, or at least almost win, season 4?

In the General Trek games, I feel like "Suddenly Human" wins or nearly wins almost every game it appears in.

I feel pretty confident about this, but I didn't check. Maybe I am misremembering because of how much I hate "Suddenly Human." Might be projection.
