The most disliked episode of Voyager - Part Five

Gravity
Bliss
Dark Frontier (II)
The Disease
The Fight
Think Tank
Warhead

Someone to Watch Over Me is a charming character piece.
 
I save Dark Frontier II. One of my faves. BTW, shouldn't they have been both together? They are on the DVDs as a single long episode. Were they originally aired as two eps?
 
Gravity
Bliss
The Disease
The Fight
Think Tank

I'll save "Warhead," which at times very much feels like a TOS or early TNG-styled episode, down to the cool throwback planet set at the beginning. Gives the Doc a nice twist and I enjoy the action bits and the ending.
 
Gravity
The Disease
The Fight

Think Tank would have been a fairly decent episode except for the miscasting of Jason Alexander. And even still, it's better than the others left. Gravity is deathly dull, and the other two I have no desire to ever watch again in my life.
 
Gravity
The Fight

Saving "The Disease" because I don't mind Harry episodes. Also, I hate "The Fight" and I don't remember "Gravity" at all.
 
"Bliss" was actually a great episode. It was slightly campy with its space whale that devours spaceships, how the crew was skeptical and eventually became deluded and started going after the only unaffected people (the quiet, gradual possession of the crew was cool and how it pitted those who weren't as eager to get to Earth as the rest of the crew was against the crazed crew), the Seven/Naomi on the empty ship (well, everyone in a stupor) was cool, and the alien Ahab guy was cool. It was just a nice episode.
 
Demon, Gravity and, in particular, The Fight, are my worst three from this season. I'm glad the latter won, as both times I've attempted to watch it have been sleep-inducing. Nothing makes sense, and not even in an interesting way.
 
I just realised that I said Demon was in this season. :o

I'm getting confused because it's Course: Oblivion that I find a bit pointless. I know it's a popular episode around here but I found it hard to get invested in the characters after the early reveal that they weren't who we thought they were. And how did they develop slipstream technology exactly?

I give credit to the ending though. What's left of the crew desperately trying anything, and then the real Voyager crew showing up and finding no trace of them.
 
The fight? are you serious? I loved that episode! That would have been my next save, I've definitely seen worse, but season 5 is the best season it's hard to find a truly bad episode in that one.
 
I personally think it fell into a rut about two thirds of the way into the season for four or five episodes, before recovering for the final stretch. Despite this it was about as good as season four, which was my favourite. B'Elanna was one of my favourite characters, but she was all over the emotional map in season five, with no consistency to her.

Each season had its problems but the writers still managed to produce some excellent episodes.

From my understanding, it depends on where you live.
If you live in the US, it's one long 2 hour ep.
In Europe, from my understanding it was in two parts.
 
Ah, the eternal 1 eps or 2 debate. The original broadcast was counted as 1 episode (telemovie), meaning 1 title, 1 set of end credits, and its counted as 1 'thing' for the purposes of ratings, but when it comes to episode counts, the trend has been towards counting episodes in the base units of the standard episode length (i.e. 1 hour) except in such instances where it changes for a whole season (i.e Twilight Zone for Season 4. The series went from 30 min to 60 min back to 30 min. Season 4 has 18 hour long eps and they are just counted as 18 eps). So, despite having 5 telemovies (Caretaker, Killing Game, Dark Frontier, Flesh & Blood, Endgame), Voyager is considered to have 172 episodes, not 167 eps. Likewise DS9 176 eps, TNG 178 eps.
