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

No more mediocre episodes left. Guess I have to go Fury. It was a horrible ending for Kes but the rest was okay.


"TATTOO" - 0
"FAVORITE SON" - 1
"THE FIGHT" - 3
"FURY" - 1
"FRIENDSHIP ONE" - 0[/QUOTE]
 
Not sure any of these are better than another...Favorite Son, because bewbs???...

Although I rather enjoyed watching Favorite Son, I heard somewhere that it's original intent was to take Harry in a new direction by having him turn out to be an alien. Because they didn't do this, it gets a downvote from me.

We're REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel, though.

*Sigh...* "The Fight" again.

I think @Oddish 's vote actually eliminates "The Fight", so -- new round! (And I would have voted for "The Fight" this time anyway, so time for a reset either way)

Goddamn. I guess "Favorite Son" is less offensive than these other three?

Let's get Harry laid. Better than killing Kerry, Kes coming back for no reason at all, and Native American hodgepodge that makes very little sense. I vote BEWBS!

Terrible list. Voting for "FAVORITE SON" only because it has already been a winner of this game previously.

I don't like "Fury." But the fact that it's still on this list means I don't have to vote for any of the other three. Yet.

Fury again, same reason. If you didn't make it Kes's ending it'd be an okay episode, whereas the other three are just bad all the way.

"FAVORITE SON" hits the bricks.

Now for the next round, Fury is definitely the lesser of three evils.

"TATTOO" - 0
"FURY" - 1

So the choice comes to this... insults a character, insults a character and undoes her last good exit, or insulates and kills off a character.

I'll go with just insults a character, "TATTOO"... at least it was trying to explore Chakotay's past and character and it's pretty early VOYAGER, which the others do not have that excuse.

Tattoo because a hawk malfunction costing nearly a day filming is better than what's left.

"TATTOO" - 2
"FURY" - 1
"FRIENDSHIP ONE" - 0
 
*sigh* "Fury" isn't quite as infuriating as the other two.

"TATTOO" - 2
"FURY" - 2
"FRIENDSHIP ONE" - 0
 
Fury, same reason.

With Friendship One, even without the ill informed killing of Carey, it sounds like these people destroyed their own planet and blamed the great great great great great grandchildren of the people who sent them the thing they reverse engineered into a weapon.

In honor of Skyrim's 10th birthday, I'll just say that this is like watching an all-orc beauty contest...
 
I'm going to vote for "Friendship One", because I like the design of the probe. That's it. That's literally the best thing about these three episodes – a glimpse of retro warp nacelles.

I think Fury is the worst episode left. I'll go with Tattoo. It's bad at showing accurate Native American heritage, but it had solid parts in it, like Chakotay and his father.

I'll save "Tattoo" I have nothing good to say about "Tattoo", I'm just clear that I hate "Fury" and "Friendship One" more.

And I hate "Fury" the most, so "Friendship One" for my last point. Kes was the more important character, so it's even more offensive that she got this trash exit, though Carey's cheap and pointless killing is of course irredeemable as well.

The terrible story of "Friendship One" is also at least coherent. The same cannot be said of "Fury." That episode can't go two story beats without tripping over itself.
