Game The Most Disliked Sixth Season Episode

[Qonundrum]

No relation to Little Annie,

DS9: "Time's Orphan"​

presents one belter of a high concept. Even the one moral high ground argument about taking away Molly's 10 years (which are not part of their proper timeline to begin with, but don't mention that) isn't too excruciating.

As far as that Trekkian Trope(tm) of "time anomaly of the week has characters ageing", It's not quite at the level of "The Visitor" in terms of dramatic themes, but it's still excellent in its own ways. If one can roll with the concept.

[Farscape One]

Saving "Birthright, Part II".

I think Worf is unfairly maligned by people here. He was teaching Klingon kids their own heritage. What's wrong with that?

TNG: "Chain Of Command, Part I": not quite part two, but still.

[Oddish]

Honestly, I thought Birthright II was one of TNG's worst efforts, but I really did like Part I's "Data dreams" bit. More kudos for Spiner's dual role and Siddig's guest appearance as Bashir. Birthright Part I is saved.

I would be remiss if I didn't at least one Data episode. "The Quality of Life" is saved.

[Brennyren]

Any episode with Barclay in it is automatically worth saving. Well, except for "Inside Man." "Realm of Fear" isn't "Inside Man," so here we are. Also, I found it kind of gratifying that the neurotic guy was the one who was right.

VOY: "Fury": lest people mistake it for the DS9 Fury and leave it in

[Captain's Coffee]

"Good Shepherd" because I like that Janeway cares enough to take the time to try and get to know/help lower deck members of her.

TNG: "Aquiel"
TNG: "Suspicions"
DS9: "Sons And Daughters"
DS9: "Resurrection"

[Seven of Five]

Tears of the Prophets is a very bittersweet end to the season for DS9. Poor Jadzia, I'm still not happy with how she went out.

[Farscape One]

Saving "SONS AND DAUGHTERS" because of Martok's wise and sage... Martokism.

"When a father and son do not speak, it means there is trouble between them."


TNG: "Aquiel"
TNG: "Suspicions"

[Captain's Coffee]

"Child's Play" because of Seven's bond with Icheb.

TNG: "Aquiel"
TNG: "Suspicions"
DS9: "Resurrection"
DS9: "Honor Among Thieves"
DS9: "The Reckoning"
DS9: "Valiant"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Fair Haven"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[gweeps]

I pick DS9's 'Honor Among Thieves' because, well, O'Brien rules.

TNG: "Aquiel"
TNG: "Suspicions"
DS9: "Resurrection"
DS9: "The Reckoning"
DS9: "Valiant"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Fair Haven"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "Suspicions". Because it was a unique Crusher episode.


TNG: "Aquiel"
DS9: "Resurrection"
DS9: "The Reckoning"
DS9: "Valiant"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Fair Haven"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[Seven of Five]

I love the tragic tale of the Valinat crew, so that's next for me.

TNG: "Aquiel"
DS9: "Resurrection"
DS9: "The Reckoning"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Fair Haven"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[Sakonna]

"Resurrection" is an effective romance. It was great to see Kira vs. Intendant again.

TNG: "Aquiel"
DS9: "The Reckoning"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Fair Haven"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[Captain's Coffee]

Yikes. Them choices.

I guess I'll go with Fair Haven because it gave us "Delete the wife"

TNG: "Aquiel"
DS9: "The Reckoning"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[Qonundrum]

I reckon that the least irritating of the remainder is easily:

DS9: "The Reckoning"​

The teaser alone has far more excitement and suspense...



What's left (can we has a three-way tie cuz all of these are (bleep)?)
TNG: "Aquiel"
DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

(Well, okay, maybe a two-way but that's another story... )

 

[Summer Solstice]

I am possibly the only person who likes "Aquiel" so it is saved.


DS9: "Profit And Lace"
VOY: "Spirit Folk"

 

[Captain's Coffee]

Both final choices are... bottom of the barrel Trek, no question. But while Spirit Folk is bad, Profit and Lace is offensive to everyone involved - actors and audience. I'm saving Spirit Folk.
At least the line 'I have a boyfriend that malfunctions" is very relatable, after two years of lockdowns.

Profit and Lace "wins"... again.
