Game The Most Disliked Prime Directive Episode

In my case, since I remember damn near everything from the episodes, it's not the details that make it new again since I still remember them, but it's the perspective of what I see at that point in my life. Even more so when watching with my wife.

^^this, but with one tiny detail:

No wife, but four cats and they only stare because they think those things moving in front of them are potential dinner.

:guffaw:
 
"Homeward" won this game in 2020.

Me either, it made me want to bang my head on my TV screen during my recent rewatch. :D

Has Code of Honor ever won any of these lists? That's a slam-dunk bad one right there on my bottom five TNG episodes.
 
TNG "Justice" is one of those episodes that I would soon forget. The whole "Edo god" thing, as well as the fact that Yar states she reviewed the laws but then everyone is aghast at the death penalty for Wesley's accident. That and the costuming and efforts to say "this is paradise" type planet story makes it an easy pass.
 
What I should do next time during a rewatch is wait for Worf's, 'Nice planet!' comment, before skipping to the next episode.

Or be drunk. ;)
