    Time to cure “Blood Fever,” very important to setting up Tom & B’Elanna’s later relationship, he Borg reveal at the end was good (UPN shouldn’t have so massively spoiled it in the promos) and the scene with Tom & B’Elanna in the turbolift was great, they played the “careful what you wish for, Lieutenant.” Part of that perfectly.

    Wow there are a lot of bland episodes left, as well as a few stinkers. I'll save The Swarm, but only for the Doctor parts of the story. It's a shame that VOY wasn't really a stickler for continuity as the follow-up would have been interesting.

    I'll save "The Q and the Grey" for the delightful return of Suzie Plakson, here playing Suzie-Q. She is clearly having a blast, and she's a lot of fun to watch.

    The doc is sort of the "A-story" of the swarm. And he does talk about it in a later episode. I'm gonna declare a revolution for "The Q & The Grey." If you take away the very end with V'Ger's crew wearing civil war garb and "fighting with Q weapons, it's a pretty great episode. The magnetic chemistry between Mulgrew and De Lancie shines the most here compared to the other Q episodes.

    False Profits; it's not great, but it's also far from the worst Ferengi episode in the franchise, and I'll give the writers kudos for managing to make something (somewhat) substantial out of a throwaway gag near the end of "The Price".

    The effects were not great at the time and are aging TERRIBLY, but there's a simple, basic story in "Macrocosm" that satisfies.

    I save “Sacred Ground,” RDM’s directorial debut, while not a great story, Mulgrew was on top of her game.

    I do like Coda, but the doctor is so entertaining in Darkling that it must take precedence.

    Coda does at least have some good atmosphere early on, even if the story kinda falls apart after the first 15 minutes. However, that's still a lot more than can be said for the other episode, so...

    Favourite Son gets last place.

    "Favorite Son" is just so intensely bad, and boring... a dreadful combo. Satisfying winner!

    The 'winner' of season 3 is "FAVORITE SON"... again. It not only won season 3 last time, but it won the entire game overall. Not everyone's favorite son, apparently.

    Thank you all for voting. I'll start season 4 tomorrow.
