Game The Most Disliked Second Season Episode, 2025 Edition

This time I'm saving "Investigations" from Voyager. The first time around, I was legitimately fooled by the arc of Tom Paris pretending to be disgruntled and leaving the ship.

ENT: "The Communicator" is a serious look at cultural and technological contamination issues that were sometimes glossed over in TOS. But in this instance, I think it would have been better for Archer to have told the truth as it would have been less believeable than the lie that he and Malcolm were genetically engineered Alliance spies.

The Loom are well done and look pretty scary.

Saving The Sound of Thunder. The Ba'ul are an interesting species and learning that Kelpien history isnt as simple as it first appeared helped make them more interesting.

Any episode featuring Kes is a draw for me (except "Fury"), so I'm saving VOY: "Elogium". I can deal with the apparently ill thought through Ocampan biology (the Caretaker did it! Or, Kes didn't know all the ins and outs - so to speak - as she was very young at the time), which never takes me out of the episode - a sign of an engaging story.

"The Girl Who Made The Stars" is cute. It's not entirely successful, but I really appreciate what it was trying to do.

Saving "Ascension, Part II," an exciting and deftly-plotted episode that still managed some nice character moments for many of the cast, especially, Zero, Dal, and Ma'jel.

Imposter Syndrome was a lot of fun with the fake Holographic crew not knowing they were real or not.

(I think its the right episode!)

The Catwalk wasn't overly memorable, but it felt like the kind of show ENT should have been: a show about humanity's first adventurous steps into space, and sometimes having to survive by the seat of their pants.

"Q&A", because I feel like it's musical moment was the seed from which "Subspace Rhapsody" grew.

Another episode with some weird biology, but I like VOY: "Innocence" for featuring Tuvok the Father/Babysitter :adore:

"Who Saves The Saviors." Because the road to a chaotic season is sometimes paved with good intentions. A nice spotlight for Gwyn (and Ilthuran) , and it's easy to sympathize with the other kids, even as they inadvertently send things south.

Ascension Part One set up the cliffhanger of the next episode very nicely .

"Saints Of Imperfection" comes from the first half of Disco's second season, which kind of works... it wasn't until the mid-season showrunner change that things truly fell apart.

I'm going to save Disco's "The Red Angel" as the direction does a lot of work to make up for the flaws in the writing.

I cannot believe DISCO season 2 got eliminated so quickly.

Saving "THE PIRATES OF ORION".

It was a fun episode and we got a look at the Orions. Rare at the time.

I really enjoyed Bem the episode and the character.

"Marauders" is a bit worrying... what if the Klingons come back? What if they bring friends? Why didn't that kid get the tour of the ship he wanted? But it definitely had its heart in the right place. Plus, the fight scene at the end was pretty good.

Four shows still in the running...
