Worst Episode of ENT: Season One Part One

[Garth Rockett]

I'm on a quest to find out what the TrekBBS thinks is the worst episode of Trek ever. Why? It's in this thread. Here are the rules:

For each season there will be one round where you can vote for your three least favorite episodes. The top five vote getters will then be presented to the membership to pick their least favorite.

Once a worst from each season has been selected, a worst from the entire series will be voted on. When that has been done, I'll conduct a poll in General Trek to decide the TrekBBS's Least Favorite.

Pick your THREE least favorites from ENT Season One.

It's kinda hard to pick just three, though Season 2 is going to be harder in that respect.

Terra Nova
Desert Crossing
Oasis

 

[stj]

Silent Enemy for Klingons, the besetting sin of Berman Trek.
Dear Doctor for the genocide plot.

 

[Garth Rockett]

Breaking the Ice (I found this one kind of boring), Fusion (didn't do anything for me either), and Acquisition (they should have left the Ferengi out of ENT altogether).

 

[RandyS]

Terra Nova.

 

[Dane_Whitman]

Terra Nova
Rogue Planet
Oasis

 

[SFRabid]

Terra Nova - Bad story.
Breaking the Ice - No story.
Desert Crossing - No interest (for men). Now if T'Pol and Hoshi had gone down to the planet instead of Archer and Trip.

Fortunate Son - neutered the Nausicaans (and altered their awesome makeup!)

Rouge Planet - absolutely pointless

Oasis - I still can't believe Rene didn't read the script and tell the producers "You know, this sounds REALLY familiar. Oh yeah, its an Odo episode called "Shadowplay".

 

[RandyS]

^Which one was Rouge Planet?

 

[Danny99]

Fusion
Acquisition
Unexpected (People rave about this episode but it is garbage)

Well, it could be that it's just a job for Rene and he doesn't really care.

You know, it's not that "Oasis" is a particularly bad episode, it's just so derivative of "Shadowplay" it's not even funny anymore. And Auberjonois has a major role in both episodes. Episodes like this show exactly what was wrong with Trek during the first season of Enterprise.

I went with Terra Nova, Acquisition, and Rogue Planet. Terra Nova squandered a great opportunity to delve into the post-First Contact timeline, Acquisition was a beyond pointless and endlessly unfunny Ferengi episode (oh wait, they never said the word "Ferengi" so it's ok...) and Rogue Planet was just really really dull.

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

Terra Nova for being sheer crapola. Grups!!

Dear Doctor for turning me off of the series by setting up a convaluted ethics dilemma and coming up with an answer that makes our heroes look callous, if not criminal. I never cared for Dr. Phlox because of this episode.

Rogue Planet for just being pointless and dull.

Rogue Planet
Two Days and Two Nights
Shuttlepod One for killing all the suspense.

He did, or at least one of his fellow actors. From Memory Alpha:

The premise of this episode is very similar to the DS9 episode "Shadowplay". Rene Auberjonois saw the similarities (Odo and Jadzia Dax had played the roles played by the Enterprise crew in this episode) and told Scott Bakula that DS9 had done a similar episode.

What do you mean by killing suspense?

ETA: Egad, I overlooked Rogue Planet (I needed 4 votes)

Here's one of the bad guys from Silent Enemy...

Perhaps you're thinking of Sleeping Dogs...
