THE OBJECTIVE: A sudden-death elimination game in which we remove our personal favorite episodes from a themed list, until we arrive at the episode that is, if not the worst, at least the most disliked. 
THE RULES: Below is a list of time travel/traveler/loop/anomaly episodes, excluding episodes where the only time travel was to/from Earth's past, as those episodes were already played as their own list. But Star Trek has a lot of ways of having fun with temporal hijinks, and these are the rest.
Eliminate/save your favorite, or the one you deem the ‘best.’
Post something you love about the episode you are saving, and copy-and-paste the list with your choice removed.
You can use any standard you like to judge which option is "best." You can save episodes for being widely recognized “best Trek” classics, or for idiosyncratic qualities that no one appreciates but you.
But -- no tactical voting! You cannot remove an episode because you don’t think anyone else will, or because you feel it would threaten your preferred episode's chance to “win.”
You can take multiple turns. Leave at least 2 eliminations by other posters before you eliminate another episode.
Spoiler tag any "Prodigy" plot discussions. Scroll down this link for instructions on how to spoiler tag. It's the 5th item from the bottom: https://www.trekbbs.com/help/bb-codes
New players are always welcome, you do not have to already be a "most disliked game" regular to dive in.
A NOTE ON LIST PARAMETERS: I went around for awhile about where to draw the line with Discovery and whether it should be limited to only the episodes in which they actually time travel -- depending on how you look at it, it could be argued the entirety of season 2 and 3 are time travel stories, but to include all episodes would overwhelm the list. In addition to the episodes in which we see actual time travel take place, I decided to also include a few additional episodes that are primarily about preparing their time travel plan ("Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 1") or introducing themselves as time travelers to the people of the 32nd Century ("People Of Earth", "Die Trying"). I did not include sightings of the Red Angel that precede the reveal that time travel is an element of the story.
