The Most Disliked Episode of TOS, Final Round: 2021 Edition...

A controversial choice but I'm voting for The Way to Eden. As a hippie episode it is cheesy but when viewed through the cult of personality lens, it evokes Manson and Jones and Koresh.

Voting for "THE DEADLY YEARS" this round. Some good acting by the leads, and isn't as bad or heavy-handed as the rest of the list.

This time around, I vote for "The Way to Eden." For all its flaws, it had its own sort of ambition. Trying to emulate the then-current Broadway hit Hair (the "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical") is a sort of noble thing to have attempted. Also I like that no attempt is made to explain Sevrin's ears - is that what his generation likes to do to themselves instead of tattoos?

The Way to Eden. I dug Spock and Uhura jamming.

"THE WAY TO EDEN" gets my vote this round. At least it was trying something different.

TWTE - is a little less awful than the other.

Both are bad, but at least "THE WAY TO EDEN" was trying something different. It gets my last vote for TOS.
"THE ALTERNATIVE FACTOR" was just a mess of script, further hindered by last minute role replacing.
I have spoken.

UGH. It’s like choosing between a spinach or a broccoli milkshake, but I like Eden more than AF.

Great, that's the one I would have chosen, well, except for "And The Children Shall Lead"...
