Next up in these themed elimination games: EPISODES THAT RECYCLE TITLES
I feel like I have to justify this one, in that most of the list themes relate in some way to the actual content of the episode, whereas this one does not at all. I find it a satisfying framing device anyway (and I hope you all do as well), because one of my favorite things about the Trek canon at this point is the sheer size of it, these hundreds and hundreds of hours over 9 series and counting. And this is a fun way to highlight that size for me, that the universe is already so big that the writers essentially have to give up on always having an entirely-unique title.
And it's a good way to carve out a diverse bunch of episodes into a game-list-size portion, it's one of the few themes to touch every property in the Trekverse -- we've got episodes from all 9 series and some movies in here. There aren't many themes that touch every show, without also being unplayably long.
(And a note on LIST PARAMETERS: any episodes reusing the same titles because they are two-parters or part of a non-consecutive arc [ie "The Naked Time/Now", "The Trouble With Tribbles/Edward", etc] have been excluded)
THE RULES. The basic idea is your standard elimination game. Below are the Star Trek episodes that recycle the same titling convention, or recycle the exact same title, just plural, or with a 'the' added, etc. Eliminate your 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.
Leave at least 2 eliminations by other posters before you eliminate another episode.
No tactical voting! You cannot remove an episode just because you feel it would threaten your preferred episode's chance to win.
The 2019 Least Disliked winner (of a much shorter version of this list) was DS9 Season 1: "Emissary."
Even more thanks than usual to @Farscape One this time, this list is significantly expanded from the version played last year and essentially all the extra work was his.
Enjoy!
