The Most Disliked Episode of VOYAGER - Season 4...

[Farscape One]

This is a twist on a game that is played here, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Here's the game. The basic idea is your standard elimination game. I'll provide a list of the episodes for each season and you need to eliminate your most favorite or the one you deem the 'best.' Please provide an EXPLANATION for why you are eliminating your choice and be sure to copy and paste the list with your choice removed. Finally, leave at least 2 eliminations by other posters before you eliminate another episode.

No tactical voting! You cannot remove an episode because you feel they would threaten your preferred episode's chance to win. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

I will start with the season premiere, "SCORPION, PART II". This was a good second part, and a great jumping off point for the season. And Chakotay got some good scenes with Janeway. I wish there were more like them.

Writing Kes out was a bad decision, but "The Gift" was a great way to execute it. The paralleling of the incoming and outgoing regulars in this really works. And I can't resist a Seven episode.

"Living Witness" was a stunning piece of work, powerful and meaningful. One of Voyager's best.

Season 4 had a lot of great episodes, so I'll have to go my usual way... production order.

My next save is "NEMESIS". A good Chakotay episode, and his last line in the episode was the perfect end to it.

I save “Message in a bottle,” my reasons why really just boil down to one line: “ROMULANS!”

Scorpion has been saved, so I'll save Year of Hell. Part I. I know it has the obvious reset button in it's DNA, but I can't help but love seeing the downtrodden crew, and the state the ship gets in.

Saving "SCIENTIFIC METHOD". Very well done concept, and watching the x-rays of drinking and kissing was inventive and fun. The Chakotay/Neelix banter in sickbay is always funny to watch.

May as well save Year of Hell, Part II. It's as epic as part one, ended by Janeway's "Time's up!" Yes again, reset button mentality hurts it on multiple viewings, but I never won't love the two-parter.

"Hope And Fear" is a very strong finale. Good follow-up on "Scorpion." The Janeway/Seven confrontations are electric -- except for that ridiculous line where Janeway yells "We've given you a lot, Seven, it's time you gave something in return!" Literally just last episode Seven was the only person running the ship and keeping the crew alive for a full month!

Saving “Day of Honor,” Tom & B’Elanna’s romantic turning point in space suits and after many times hearing “The ejection system is off line,” it finally works!

I guess I'll keep saving stand-out Seven episodes. "Omega Directive"! The Borg world building in this is excellent.

Seven, I will save "Prey" just for you. Because you stood up to the captain and you saved the ship. While one can certainly argue which was in the right and which in the wrong here (I'm with Seven on this one, obviously), I just found it so dramatically satisfying to see the powerful conflict between the two.

Saving Waking Moments. I always thought the lucid dreaming thing was cool. It led me to figure out how to increase the odds of figuring out I’m dreaming so I can try to control it.

I'll save "The Raven." Quite a bit of this strains credibility -- they take Seven on board, and just happen to run into the Hansen's crashed ship 6 episodes later? -- but it does a great job of depicting the trauma of assimilation.
