They watched Shore Leave.
Trek's lowest moment

They watched Shore Leave.
Ugh, don't remind me. "Profit and Lace" however, was worse.
And most of the "humor" in Insurrection. Cringeworthy.
I'm talking specifically the actress. She could have tanked any episode with her performance, let along one as horrible as Precious Cargo.
If we're talking individual moments and not entire horrible episodes.
-Daniels tells Archer that every six year old in the 29th century can send a message to the past with the contents of his school desk.
-Lonely Among Us aliens hunt and cook each other
-Turnabout Intruder: "If only she could be happy being...only a woman"
-NuSpock screams "KHHAAAAAAAAN"
-Last Output Ferengi jump around like monkeys
-Rom: "I WAAANT MY MOOOGGGIIIIEEEE!"
-Field of Fire: "Look Ezri, what do you see? Smiling pictures? That means the killer must be a Vulcan".
-Dr Phlox scrapes his tongue.
-"Drugs...make you feel good!"

Do you mean Billy Campbell?
Uh, whoops.
Yes, that's who I meant, sorry. Not sure where I got "Ben Murphy" from...
Aw, man, I loved that. It was like something from a 40's movie.
Agreed. TFF had the best interaction of 'the big three' and the song was just an addition to that. Insurrection's song was...lame.
I'd like to thank you for beating me to this, I was preparing my flame suit.
JJ-Trek is the low note. When Trek nosedived into being a brainless action franchise.
Captain Sisko lying to the Romulans to pull them into a war in "In the Pale Moonlight".
"Plato's Stepchildren." Endless scenes of Kirk and Spock forced to perform a humiliating dog-and-pony show. Literally.
Mentioning those two episodes together is like comparing apples and an artificially flavored apple Pop-Tart.
Shatner did the worst imitation of a horse I've ever seen. Good thing he was never in Equus.
See, I don't see that as a low point. Data's character still acts, even with emotions. It's within his character and actually moves Data's character along. The last time we saw him acting was in the series, and if you remember Devil's Due, he explains why he acts, as a part of his quest to understand humanity. Picard was often his audience, as he probably was for this play. Picard's dialogue before they start singing shows the mind at work in Picard:
"He can fly a ship. He can anticipate tactical strategies. Clearly, his brain is functioning. We've seen how he responds to threats, I wonder how he would respond to...Mr. Worf, do you know Gilbert and Sullivan?"
And this is where I get on my high horse about "having them act as scientists, explorers, rather than just holding a phaser and shooting at someone." (Deducing, having an hypothesis from known data. Testing said hypothesis. Scientific method...yum.)
If you consider the song they are singing, Data is acting with duty and honor, as a British Tar should do. It fits the scene. It is no more out-of-place than Chang quoting Shakespeare, Khan doing Melville, or Kirk doing Dickens.

ENTERPRISE making Jolene Blalock take her top off to get ratings. I do not recall any other STAR TREK series desperate enough to go to those lengths, just to get someone to tune in and watch. The worst about the topless scenes is that they weren't done in any way that was sexy, or even artistic, in any way. She's just there, arms crossed, with a hand over each boob, whilst holding a conversation. It was just lame. I am all for having STAR TREK women flaunt it, if they got it, but ...
I think you mean Hoshi.
The only time we see T'Pol naked, she's facing away from the camera.
They are strong.
Doesn't TNG: A Matter of Perspective open with Picard working on a painting with a nude model?
TNG showed that Ferengi transporters remove the clothes from women.
Betazoid weddings are performed naked, as Lwaxana frequently was fond of reminding everyone.
VOY had Q Jr. ogling a nude Seven. Janeway stripped as well, I think it's in "Sacred Ground".
Nah. The worst about the T'Pol topless scenes is she was usually facing away from us.
Hoshi had her top torn off too.
Hoshi lost her shirt being a hero, no different than what happened to Kirk a dozen times over.
