Game The Most Disliked Episode/Movie Directed By Jonathan Frakes, 2025 Edition

[Sakonna]

I really thought killing Airiam was a mistake. If nothing else, we needed more non-regular-humans among that bridge crew!

I can't believe I've let my beloved "Sub Rosa" linger this long. I seriously need to rewatch that one again, it's been too long, though of course I have already seen it approximately three billion times.

Alot of my favorites are already saved. Frakes is one if the best directors in the franchise.

Saving "PROJECTIONS".

Well directed, well acted, well scripted.

A possible influence for "Sense8",

TNG Season 7: "Attached"

is not the worst of season 7 or of TNG by any measure.

Well, maybe not, all we do know is that the Naked Now cooties make 'em sound like chipmunks with bronchial infections!

DIS Season 5: "Lagrange Point" I love watching Book flirt with the Breen solider.

I will save Disco's "Despite Yourself", as it took the series in a mad new direction and it really needed that, considering how directionless season 1 had been up to that point. Also I really enjoyed it.

[Farscape One]

Saving "THE SEARCH, PART II".

We get some great scenes of Odo finally finding his people... only to discover they ARE the Founders.

And having Garak in an episode is always a good idea. (Even if he wasn't real.)

The concept of the “inter dimensional phasing planet” in DS9 Season 3 “Meridian” is really cool.

[Bad Thoughts]

Saving Stormy Weather. The story is simple, but Frakes puts a lot into this episode. I think Season 4 had strong episodes, though most were dull. This is beautiful visually, and Michael is strong here.

[Ray Hardgrit]

I assumed I would have to be the one to save Stormy Weather! I dunno how, but I got the impression that people really weren't keen on it. Okay then, I will save People of Earth, as it was the third good episode in a row and it gave me hope that season 3 would be the year that Disco became a great Trek series.

I think you guys missed that I saved “Meridian”

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "The Quality of Life".

It's Data episode, so for me, that's already a win.

"Prototype" is a very satisfying Voyager for me. Those robots may be cheesy, but B'Elanna's relationship to them really works anyway.

[Bad Thoughts]

Saving Absolute Candor. This episode suffers from a lot of what was wrong with Season one: lots of short, underdeveloped stories. However, there are some good ideas, and Frakes helped to make the characters more compelling.

VOY Season 2: "Parturition"
DIS Season 3: "The Sanctuary"
DIS Season 3: "There Is A Tide..."

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "PARTURITION".

Because it isn't the two remaining DISCO episodes.

(And the reptilian baby was very cute. And it did put an end to the brief Neelix jealousy arc of Paris.)


DIS Season 3: "The Sanctuary"
DIS Season 3: "There Is A Tide..."

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I'm going to save "The Sanctuary", because it's not There Is A Tide... I mean, I didn't hate it. But I think it probably did deserve to linger in this particular list while everything around it got saved.

DIS Season 3: "There Is A Tide..."

Unless the tide is high and we're movin' on, so glad that no TNG episode made it as the worst..

I'm surprised that "Sub Rosa" not only got saved, but got saved fairly early. It is, after all, your basic "bodice-ripper."

I would have saved it, partly because it's (IMHO) objectively not the worst of the list, but because some of the review videos give it a whole new life - like this one:
