What was your worst TNG episode?

[Oddish]

Definitely redefines "action", dunnit?

Just sub out Vespa with Troi, Helmet with Picard, Lone Star with Riker, Dot with Data, and Barf with Worf.

And "your helmet is so big" with "your head is so BALD."

That one episode where Wesley stepped onto the grass and fell over whilst trying to catch a ball, accidentally breaking a fence in the process, initiating a death penalty penance for himself.

Ah, but were you upset because he received the death penalty, or because it wasn't carried out?

Perhaps the fact that the death penalty was not carried out was his true penance and punishment? The trauma from this experience (and other bad episodes) probably contributed to his decision to leave Starfleet and become a Traveller. Also, I was not saying that I was upset by the failure of local Edo planetary authorities to execute him for breaking their horticultural laws, only that this was a silly story point, therefore making this likely the worse episode.

Also, Riker probably broke more rules in this particular episode… but likely ‘off screen’.

I was kidding. Wesley wasn't the most popular of characters, especially in Season 1.

I haven't watched that episode in a long time. I just remember watching that episode with those ridiculous (and uncomfortable-looking) costumes and thinking that those poor guest actors must really need that paycheck.

Time loop stories aggravate me to no end, so "Cause and Effect" would be up there for me.
