'twas ninja'ed, I was, so here's what I had for what would have been my next save, when the list was far longer:
I sorta liked it at the time, but it wasn't great and even the first rewatch had proven it had aged like fine milk:
TNG: "Silicon Avatar"
It's the crystalline entity used in the latest of sequel fodder! They want to speak with it and play "ping the dinner glass" as an experiment! Lore is namedropped like a pigeon flying in a statue-laden park, but nobody remembered that Lore could actually talk with it, which could also respond by radio wave that Lore could understand, and no morse code was required by him either! Which also begs, is this the same one or another! Naah, it's always just the same one, innit? That's easier! (Where it'd makefar more sense if this wasn't the same entity.)
Data has all of Rennie's memories in his memory, how convenient for the cheap mushional stwing puwwin' for the audience! What a spoonful to be spoonfed! He, of all people, also makes the biggest assumption about how Rennie might react to Marr's obsession in killing a thing that killed millions, in the old standby chestnut of a Trek trope that'd been done before, and far better before as well. But Marr's devolvement didn't not work despite it all, but the story's a typical season 5 mess.
Never mind William T Riker, where "T" stands for "Test all bodily fluids for everything" as he cares more about losing his latest fling because she went to try to save another colonist who just happened to be old. Even for Riker, that scene was a bit much to buy in, him now caricaturized so badly that he's just a 2D humpin' machine that gets ticked off whenever he's blocked by a big space baddie, even if it's in the form of a gigantic crystal you'd otherwise see at weddings albeit wrapped in a box. But this is nothing compared to his antics in "The Game"!
