Worst Episode of DS9 Season Six Part One

[Mr. Fergy]

Valiant - I hate those kids.

True, but they die really well.

Agreed!!


BTW: I voted for Profit and Lace

Waltz.

I know it was all deep, retrospective, reflective and showed Dukat in a unique light but it was just such a dull episode. 45 minutes of Sisko and Dukat sitting down? Yawn.

Waltz cos it killed of nuanced interesting Dukat, and introduced moustache twirling villanous blackheart Dukat instead.

See, now that I can understand and I actually pretty much agree with you.

But to dismiss the episode because it’s boring despite Alaimo, Biggs, Combs, and Visitor’s outstanding performances is just plain silliness.

I have a hunch though that "Profit and Lace" will easily win this.

Most likely but I actually like it. It isn't great but I was surprised I didn't loathe it given my general dislike of most DS9 Ferengi episodes.

I kind of like "Profit and Lace" as well, but I'm a bit of a Ferengi-phille. There's a good chance it'll join two other episodes I like- "Move Along Home" and "Sanctuary"- as a finalist on the Worst Episode poll.

I used to not be able to stand the Ferengi in heavy doses but I've softened a bit so now I don't find some of them as bad I used to even though they are far from great.

Well I don't like "Move Along Home" but I like "Sanctuary"--always thought it was unfairly maligned.

We were supposed to hate the kids in VALIANT, weren't we?

They represented ELITISM...something wrong in a utopian future.

I will bash that episode for the ONE surviving escape pod being the one with Jake, Nog and that girl onboard.

 

[Tralah]

Yeah, I rolled my eyes at that. Of course the ONE escape pod that survives would happen to have our two main characters, Jake and Nog, aboard. . It might have been interesting if they had been captured by the Dominion and Sisko and Rom having to deal with that situation in trying to negotiate their release/plot their rescue. Although I can see the Dominion's motives in keeping Jake alive to use him as a bargaining chip against his father, it'd probably be harder to justify a reason for them keeping Nog or that girl alive. Not that I'd particularly miss the girl, but I like Nog!

...wish there had been four votes possible so I could vote for Valiant as well.
