The Most Disliked Episode of VOYAGER - Final Round...

I vote for Unforgettable once more. Like the chemistry between Robert and Virginia Madsen.

I'll save "Coda" -- I like Len Cariou -- and start the next round with a point to "Juggernaut." Torres is the 2nd-most-reliable Voyager episode lead, after Seven.

I'll save Threshold. Yeah it's stupid as hell but at least it's entertaining in a so bad it's good way. The other eps apart from maybe Q2 and Juggernaut are painfully boring.

A point for "JUGGERNAUT". Roxann Dawson was great in the role. I agree that she is a very reliable actress to have carry an episode. Odd appearance of the Malon aside, it had a pretty solid plot. I wish we had more Tuvok/Torres sessions... that was a good scene.

There are some decent ideas in Juggernaut, but it's all just very average.

Another vote for "Juggernaut" -- which has plot, makes decent use of the Malons, and offers some good work by Roxann -- which takes it out. First vote of the new round to "Emanations," which, however clumsily, at least tries to say something. Also, it wasn't offensive and didn't put me to sleep.

I will also vote "EMANATIONS". Of the ones left, it feels the least annoying and ridiculous.

I'm changing my vote to EMANATIONS. I checked the synopsis and it has an okay premise. I can't say it's a favorite but it's not as bad as the others in retrospect.

I'll make this a quick round and save Emanations, which is a generally okay, if bland episode.

And I'll cast the first vote of the next one for Friendship One, which is an otherwise-decent story about unintended consequences, only really hurt by their needlessly killing off Carey.

Wow, this is a batch of truly terrible episodes. I guess I'll go "Unforgettable" this round, which at least has a future Academy Award nominee as a guest star in Virginia Madsen.

I’ll vote Forgettable again.

You guys saved the other two episodes, Juggernaut and Coda, which are not spectacularly bad. Forgettable is left.

Forgettable is 4/10. Nothing else is above 1/10.

I can't bring myself to vote for "Friendship One," even though it's one of the better ones among the drek remaining. It was just too depressing, and I remember being utterly furious at pregnant B'Elanna wanting to go into a high-rad area because she was bored -- and at Chakotay for being willing to sign off on it.

"Unforgettable" was boring and improbable, but it didn't piss me off. Madsen was okay. And I will admit that I liked Chakotay writing down his experiences so he would have a way to know what had happened that the Remorans couldn't purge. Fight that reset button, Chak!

I save UNFORGETTABLE, because of Madsen/Beltran.
I vote for Tatoo,because I like all Chakotay episodes (except "The Fight")

Holy crap. Can these be all co-winners?!

I think I have to vote Threshold. At least it’s not boring.

It is impossible to think of anything I like about any of these! I watched "Q2" today, thinking "that one's not SO bad, is it? Q's always at least a little fun..."

Turns out, I've never seen all of "Q2" before! It is so bad, I've never made it past 20 minutes before.

So, no point to that one. I guess I need to watch another of these in search of something to not hate...

I'll reluctantly throw my vote to "Threshold" this round. On the whole, this is not one of those so-bad-it's-good episodes, but it at least has one so-bad-it's-good moment in the salamander nonsense at the end.

I suppose I also enjoy mocking those stupid "Jonas phones Kazon" scenes. Most comically inept attempt at serialization I have ever seen.
