Game The Most Disliked Third Season Episode, 2025 Edition

[Farscape One]

How is "DAY OF THE DOVE" still on the list? It is saved now.

Michael Ansara was excellent as Kang. Great story, too. One of the best of season 3 TOS.

I'll go for "That Which Survives" this time. Not sure why, but that episode has always just appealed to me. And, hey, Sulu actually gets to do something important to the episode for a change!

There is a Tide if for nothing else than the diplomatic meeting between Vance and Osyraa. That is a great scene.

I'll save Enterprise's "Countdown", for keeping the momentum going and setting up a great cliffhanger.

[Artoo Atari]

I suppose I'll go ahead and get TNG: "Transfigurations" out of the way now. I honestly neither like nor dislike this episode. It's yet another Star Trek episode of something evolving on the ship before floating through the bulkhead as a ball of energy. Only this guy had to suffer the indignity of having to wear a space onsie.

Anyway, I guess on a positive note, it's so forgettable that every time I rewatch it, I don't recall what happens so it still seems kinda new.

Starting to find the choices hard now...

"The Price" had a sequel in False Profits (which has already been saved) telling what happened to the Ferengi who went through the wormhole - and who delayed coming back until too late. Otherwise, this episode is best known for the bizarre exercise scene with Crusher and Troi...

"Sacred Ground" was interesting because it made chronic skeptic Janeway look at the universe differently. A more lasting change would have been nice, but, well, Voyager.

I can't tell if people are avoiding the Enterprise episodes because it's so serialised or because they just don't like the show.

I'm saving Enterprise's "The Council" for finally getting the NX-01 to its destination, with the crew ready to do some proper Star Trek talking instead of looking for stuff to blow up.

I think some of us don't quite remember what happened when.

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "The High Ground"... and TNG. (I think this is the first time I save TWO shows within the same game.)

Good, tense episode. Nice focus on Crusher.

[CoveTom]

For me personally, I'm avoiding the Enterprise episodes because I've never seen them. I think I've seen maybe three or four episodes of Enterprise all the way through.

Anyway, I'll go back to TOS and save "The Mark of Gideon" because it's just such a damn goofy and unbelievable premise and yet, for some reason, I kinda like it.

[Farscape One]

Saving "AZATI PRIME".

Tense all the way through. And that battle at the end... Enterprise took a massive beating. She kept taking it and taking it, but still kept going. She's a damn tough ship.

Proof that ships were sturdier than the 24th century.

[Ray Hardgrit]

Proof that ships were sturdier than the 24th century.

Or that weapons were weaker!

I'll save Enterprise's "Anomaly", because it lives up to season 3's promise of being an action thriller while also promising that the series hasn't forgotten than the heroes were supposed to be the good guys. They're just in a bad place right now (mentally and physically), so they're struggling.

Saving "Dominion" for strong performances from Brent Spiner and Amanda Plummer...and for the chill of seeing Tim Russ as a Tuvok-that-wasn't-Tuvok.

[Qonundrum]

A wink would walk so blink could fly:

TOS: "Wink Of An Eye"

The premise is fascinating enough, even if the two time zones don't quite align. But this would give inspiration to one of THE best Voyager episodes, even if they took the time to hint at giving a hologram character a sex life. As Arnold J Rimmer might speculate, the EMH had a hard light drive...

[Artoo Atari]

I'll take VOY: "Blood Fever" off the table. Not the best episode, but it was interesting to see how a Vulcan like Taurik... I mean Vorik... would cope with pon farr while being away from home. The cool reveal of the invader's identity at the end is also worth mentioning.

I'm going to take Su'Kal out of the game. I hear the collective cries and gasps but there's a lot of good in this episode. And as the years have gone by I've gotten more accepting of the cause of the Burn. Maybe it isnt what I would have done but it's a unique plotline.
