After a brief hiatus, the quest to determine the worst episode in all of Trek continues! Fortunately I've been saving the results. The top five vote getters from the previous round are included. Vote for your LEAST favorite. Let the voting begin!
Worst Episode of VOY Season Two Part Two
- Thread starter Garth Rockett
- Start date
Elogium.
Threshold has some nice Paris moments, Innocence isn't awful so much as boring, Parturition is just silly and off-putting especially with Paris/Neelix childish antics, Tattoo isn't great with the tacked on jeopardy of ship spiraling out of control and the Indian twist but it has decent ideas mixed in there.

Threshold for me. The first half is pretty good, but I really don't like the ending at all. None of the rest of the episodes bother me; I like Tattoo and Innocence in particular. Season Two was pretty strong for Voyager overall.
So many choices from this season...I respect a lot of what they tried to do in S2, but wow, when the show was bad, it was really, really bad.
It was a toss-up between Elogium and Parturition for me, but I went with the latter for sheer pointlessness.
Threshold has achieved camp status and just makes me laugh, I've always found Tattoo fairly interesting, and Innocence is a bit dumb but not bad per se.

Wow! I'm surprised that Tattoo was in the worst eps list. It wasn't that terrible. I did vote for Innocence, but I should have voted for Threshold instead cause it was a royal stinker. 
I did like the idea of breaking the warp 10 barrier. But just not in the sense of becoming a lizard like organism! LOL!
I actually liked Elogium as well..but the ending made me blush. I think it was the part where Janeway told Chakotay, "In the future if I have any questions about mating behavior, I'll know where to go". THAT made me blush. In a good way though.

Elogium,
As much as I liked Kes, this episode was kinda lame.

Threshold without a doubt was my worse.

I went for Elogium.
Threshold wins hands down!
But, may I ask, what on earth is "Innocence" doing among the least favorite eps?????? I admit that the reverse aging may be more than just a bit stupid, but the relationship between Tuvie and those kids is stellar and gives us a lot of insight into his character and how much he misses his family!

Then you'll be surprised about my pick for worst episode of the season. As stj aptly puts it:
True, "Threshold" may have an even more breathtakingly moronic premise, which defies its own narrative and any modicum of common sense, attempting to drown any reasonable objections in technobabble and other kinds of babble. But as twisted as it is, it's not just plain boring. "Tattoo" is that.

"Threshold"
Since Paris lost his tongue, does this mean he couldn't french the captain when they mated?? That's as deep as this episode gets for me!!

Tattoo it was weird, dull and well I said weird already but man that is one I never rewatch.
Decent ideas? What? That Chakotay is from Tribe Hollywood or that Indians are part space alien?
Tattoo gets the prize for worst in my book.
Well I enjoyed seeing the flashbacks into Chakotay's past. The "Indians are part space alien" is no worse than a lot of sci-fi spins that add an alien wrinkle to what we believed-the Progenitor aliens seeding humanity with their DNA and a coded message, the Voth evolving from dinsoaurs, humanity in the distant future evolving into salamander-like beings etc.
But everyone will judge it differently. I myself just can't get worked up over it.
Given that the US government didn't declare us (yes, *us*) completely human until the 1920s, it was disconcerting to find that Jeri Taylor took us back in time 70 years.
But, then, I pretty much despised the entire cheesy background they gave Chakotay. Akoochimoya, my indigenous ass.
It wasn't Taylor it was Piller who wrote this episode. And I think you are being overly sensitive and reading far, far, far more into the idea of the backstory of Indians being part alien. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
I doubt most people watching the episode took away from the hour the lesson that Indians are somehow not completely human in the sense that they are beneath everyone else.
