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

[BoTWoT]

I really can't stand any of what's left, except for Fair Haven. The more I watch both it, and Spirit Folk, the more I like them over the years. Couldn't stand them when they were first released. The Doctor as the Priest is worthy of it's own show.

As one of Fair Haven's few defenders, I will cast my vote for it. It's a fun change of pace, it's good to see Harry actually be sort of awesome for once, and I enjoyed the Doc as Father Mulligan. And, who can forget Janeway's epic line: "Delete the wife."

[JirinPanthosa]

For me right now the ones that are mediocre rather than awful are Partruition, Vis a Vis, Unforgettable and Nightingale. I guess Nightingale is my vote. I liked it when it came out, it's not a bad episode, it's just a little forced.

Parturition is annoying to watch on a few levels, but it does move forward the jealousy over Kes subplot. Not that it was much of a subplot, but there you go.

Ok, we're left with the bad and the appallingly bad. So I'll choose Fair Haven for being simply bad.

[Farscape One]

I'll save "FAIR HAVEN" because it at least addresses a few ideas like Janeway not being able to be with anyone else on the ship.

New round.

My vote for this one... ugh. Terrible, horrible, pretty bad, bad. This is the worst batch of 'Most Disliked' episodes I've ever seen since doing this game.

"PARTURITION"... I vote for it only because the alien reminds me of DINOSAURS and it ended Neelix's jealousy streak.

[Vale]

A fourth vote for "Parturition" for much the same reasons, so it's saved.

New round... I'll go "Emanations" because Jerry Hardin guest stars, and Kim dying wasn't a cliche yet.

[BoTWoT]

Out of what's left I'd say Unforgettable isn't actively bad, just dull. It's totally forgettable, but not a hot mess like the rest of what's left.

[Brobdingnag]

"UNFORGETTABLE" is the least forgettable of the ones left, which doesn't say much.

I guess Nightingale again for the same reasons. Might switch to Vis a Vis next round.

UNFORGETTABLE" is the least forgettable of the ones left, which doesn't say much.

Some you'd LIKE to forget, I wager.

Unforgettable has an intriguing concept, if nothing else. Yes, I'm really scraping the bottom here...

"The Fight," same reasons as before: weirdness, Walston, Romero, thanks for noshing some scenery Robert.

Voting "EMANATIONS" this round. It at least tackled some good ideas about death and its meaning, and has Jerry Hardin.

Emanations is a bit better than the rest. I agree with those who said Harry dying in this episode wasn't bad before it became a cliche. At least there was some decent material regarding the afterlife.

[Sakonna]

I'll give "Emanations" it's 4th point and save it, because at least it was early.

Damn. I don't know what to do with the rest of this. I guess I think "Nightingale" is the next least objectionable here? It at least addresses Harry's lack of advancement? I'm reaching.

A list of really bad or really boring. Not sure which is a bigger crime.

Voting for "VIS A VIS". Fun take on identity theft.

It's getting harder and harder, as they're all just bad.

It's the epitome of mediocrity, but after looking at the episode description, I remembered that Dan Butker (BULLDOG!) played Steth.
