Woops.
Can a mod move this to the pure Trek forum?

I disagree. I think that "A Night in Sickbay" was by far the weakest.

That was the one with Archer and T'pol getting all hot and weird with the dog needing something for a cure?

Whew reading that review was painful...can't imagine the episode itself.

Emissary, Pt. 2. CHRIST! THERE IS MORE TO A TREK EPISODE THAN EXPLAINING LINIAR TIME TO WORMHOLE ALIENS!!!

Actually, Emmisary wasn't that bad.
"A Night In Sickbay" was pure shit, nothing more.

While a Night in sickbay was mind numming Threshold offended me in the worst way, I usually give trek a little leeway with its "science" but threshold crossed the line, in fact it crossed the line and set fire to it whilst doing so.

Impossible for me to say. "A Night in Sickbay" was the worst Enterprise episode I have ever seen so far but I don't think it can class as the worst episode of ST in general, there are so many crappy episodes to choose from.

Too many to mention. Most of Voyager.

OS - Spock's Brain, Lights of Zetar, Way to Eden (60's hippies in space...my BRAIN hurts) were tops on my list

TNG - ALL of SEASON 1, Shades of Grey (clip shows ALWAYS bad), the vast majority of TNG was mediocre not bad, just not good either.

DS9 - MOST of Season 1, The Episode where they're stuck in the alien game, the vast majority of DS9 shows after Season 3 were actually quite decent and the war arch was excellent

Voy: GODAWFUL. ALL SEASONS only an extreme handful are even passable with ONE or TWO that are truly good.

ENT: Stopped watching after Ep 3. If you thought Voy was bad....a TRUE disappointment becaue for once I REALLY liked the premise and the way it was advertised I liked, I even enjoyed the pilot (for the record I never enjoyed a ST pilot except for Where No man has Gone Before..) But it went into a plung at Warp speed afterc that into the deepest pits of canabalized writing and retread ideas.

DS9: Take me out to the holodeck. aggggghhhh the pain!

that and the one where quark and nog went back in time and crash landed in roswell new mexico...that sucked balls too. "Ohio? the aliens are going to invade Ohio?" ack!

Almost all episodes of Boobyprise. The first episode of season one was good.

Oh come on. 11001001 wasn't that bad, and I rather liked "Too Short a Season".

I did NOT like Best of Both Worlds Pt. 2, mostly for one reason:

WHERE'S MY FUCKING WOLF 359?!?!?!

Even the worst episodes of TOS are not as awful and unwatchable as what Berman Braga have been foisting upon the audiences for the last decade.

TNG is largely mediocre, even with the third and fourth seasons taken into account. But the show hit its nadir in episodes such as "The Naked Now", "Angel One", "110011001", "The Outrageous Okona", "The Dauphin", "The Samaratan Snare", "Shades Of Grey" (a fucking clip show), "The Loss", "Man Of The People", "Rascals", "Lessons", "Force Of Nature", "Genesis", "Masks" and the truly egregious "Sub Rosa".

DSN simply got pathetic the more they started outright ripping off storylines from Babylon 5 and incompetently to boot. But compared to utter shit like Voyager and Boobyprise it's almost a work of genius.

Threshold. Worst. Science. Ever.

Buried under the ledgers of the almighty Budget.

Best of Both Worlds was a masterpiece, you can only see parts of the battle at DS9 Emissary.

The episode that sucks giant balls was on last night when Pickard, Roe, Guinen, and Kaiko get the age reversal syndrome after being transported aboard the enterprise. Okay, the premise of the show isn't all that bad..just the child actors who ham it up with bad accents and all.

"Right number one......um...he's my number one dad"
yea, that was pretty awful, but not as awful as the one where picard was trapped in the turbolift with the 3 kids.

Night in Sickbay was just plain stupid.

There were plenty of okay or even good episodes that were ruined by crappy philosophy/silly moralizing (ie: "Dear Doctor" lots of TNG episodes about the PD, etc) but that one was definately the worst.

Dog pees on stuff, dog gets sick, Captain gets horny for Vulcan bimbo subcommander, has goofy fantasies about her, Doctor clips his toenails, Doctor flosses his tongue, need I go on? Boring and stupid.

It reminded me more of a fan-made parody of Star Trek than Star Trek itself.

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 2003-01-18 12:54pm

There were several bad DS9 episodes too (especially in the first two seasons), that I can't remember the names of... that one where the guy builds those "Bad Luck" machines in Quark's bar, and the one where people's imaginations appear as manifestations on the ship (leperachuans, baseball players, Dax being horny for Doc Bashir, etc).

Actually, now that I think about it, the Jadzia Dax episodes were probably some of the worst of DS9 in general (even Loxwanna Troi, Q, and Quark had more interesting adventures in some cases), either silly, boring, or completely unbelievable and stupid. The subplot with Kira's pregancy was pretty silly as well (though necessary I guess, as a plot device to keep Nana Visitor in the show whilst pregnant).
