Game The Most Disliked Animated Trek, 2025 Edition

[Ray Hardgrit]

I'll save Prodigy's "Touch Of Grey", as it was nice to see Janeway, Chakotay and The Doctor on a mission together again.

A genuinely fun episode.

When I first saw the thread title, I thought it was only referring to TAS.

That said, I'll save "The Eye of the Beholder." I'd like to see more of the Lactrans sometime. Even if (like "Bem," "The Counter-Clock Incident," and "The Slaver Weapon"), the actual episode isn't as good as what ADF made of it in prose.

"Ghost In The Machine" is a top-tier holodeck episode. They pack a lot into a very short time in this one.

[Ray Hardgrit]

Prodigy's "Masquerade" is worth saving because of the revelations about Dal, Murf... and Asencia.

[Detached Nacelle]

The Jihad for showing us disparate groups of aliens brought together for a common goal. Like The Chase it is fun to see different alien races brought together outside of just being a particularly diverse Starfleet crew.

I really enjoy the Solum-set elements of "Who Saves The Saviors."

This one is saving "Bem." Pandronians are another species this one wouldn't mind seeing again.

Ambergris. Noun. A grease like product of the sperm whale's digestive tract that is used as a base in the finest perfumes. This has been Detached Nacelle your guide to the world of saving episodes.

Granted in reality this would be all my thalassaphobic nightmares come at once.

TAS Season 2: "Albatross"
ST Season 2: "The Girl Who Made The Stars"
PRO Season 1: "Starstruck".

[Ray Hardgrit]

I'll save Prodigy's "Starstruck" for showing the realistic consequences of a bunch of idiot kids getting their hands on a starship.

TAS Season 2: "Albatross"
ST Season 2: "The Girl Who Made The Stars"
PRO Season 1: "Dream Catcher"
PRO Season 1: "Asylum"
PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "The Fast And The Curious"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part I"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Sakonna]

I'll take TAS off the board by saving "Albatross", which I do actually think is one of the better episodes of that series. A good McCoy story. I love those aliens and their weird eyes and strange human accents.

ST Season 2: "The Girl Who Made The Stars"
PRO Season 1: "Dream Catcher"
PRO Season 1: "Asylum"
PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "The Fast And The Curious"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part I"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "DREAM CATCHER".

I only just realized it's still on the list, otherwise I would have saved it a while ago when I saved "TERROR FIRMA".

Saving this for pretty much the same reasons.


ST Season 2: "The Girl Who Made The Stars"
PRO Season 1: "Asylum"
PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "The Fast And The Curious"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part I"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Detached Nacelle]

It's a weird one and my feelings for it change quite a bit but the side of me that enjoys folk tales is saving the Girl Who Made the Stars

PRO Season 1: "Asylum"
PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "The Fast And The Curious"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part I"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I'm a little surprised that Prodigy's the last show standing, especially considering how highly rated these episodes are. Ascension is a 9/10 story whether you look on IMDb or the episode poll here. Personally I didn't enjoy "Ascension, Part I" that much, but I do like a good space battle.

PRO Season 1: "Asylum"
PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "The Fast And The Curious"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Sakonna]

"The Fast And The Curious." I like Prodigy doing something decent with a Kazon. The holograms with swapped personalities is a fun idea.

PRO Season 1: "Asylum"
PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "ASYLUM".

Nice side story that ended up being a big piece of the arc.


PRO Season 2: "Observer's Paradox"
PRO Season 2: "Ascension, Part II"

 

[Victoria]

A horrible job...I am saving "Observer's Paradox" although this is a bit of "close your eyes and stick a pin in it" choice. It's got some fun stuff about Our Heroes trying to get round the rules and a whale called Gillian.

Ascension Part II is not a worthy winner. All Prodigy was good.

 

[Seven of Five]

I was thinking a couple of TAS epiosdes were easily worse than PRO, but that's where the music stopped this time.

That's why I love this game.

 

[Tiran O'Saurus]

Everyone wanted to extradite Lower Decks as quickly as possible, which meant by the time we got around to PRO it was already too late. I think "Second Contact" deserved the loss, but whatever.

Koala told me to do it.
