![]() ![]() ![]() Besides the Enterprise being unable to engage in combat due to Starfleet thrift, you are left with waiting for something, anything, to happen. In which the new Main Bad Guys, the Ferengi, are introduced and everyone wisely decides they don’t qualify as the Main Bad Guys. But the fact remains that clip shows are inherently unsatisfying and a clip show in the second season of anything is a singular failure which should not be rewarded. I really don’t want to hate this one as much as conventional fan wisdom demands because a) there’s flashbacks to episodes that don’t suck and b) we get to see Worf and Riker battle Skeletor’s cousin at the beginning. Instead, it’s dated, sexist claptrap.įog, in fact any gaseous substance, is never good news on any Enterprise. Because Janice Lester in the hands of an enterprising writer could have been a nuanced villain, unfairly denied a Starfleet commission. And remember: for those of us who first watched Star Trek in syndication before the Picard and his crew appeared, this was The End of TV Trek (sorry, TAS). There are worse episodes of Trek overall, but until Enterprise, this was sourest of sour notes to end a Star Trek series on. There’s always great potential with a “mysterious colony” story and yet they seem to manage to not mine any of the possibilities fully, even if Erick Avari in any role is welcome. ![]() But you try and approach it with the same open mind you try and approach a friend’s indie film because there’s usually something good in those and then OH MY GOD: I JUST THREW UP IN MY MOUTH. Yeah, not good.Ī slow-moving and unsatisfying episode that really doesn’t do too much of anything except convince us to stay well away from the transporter.Īn almost entirely insufferable episode of forced mirth that has the slight saving grace of trying to explain Worf’s uptight nature. And you know that the entire cast reviles this episode as a racist piece of filth and the director was evidently a piece of work too. So let’s say you haven’t seen this episode since it first aired in 1987, so you feel you need to give it a fair shake. Because while there’s some great time travel tales in this list, we haven’t discovered time travel tech in this timeline… yet. And for you, yes, you over there with the frown, go ahead and do your own ranking. With over 700 episodes of Trek, even some really great episodes can’t crack the top 100 (that’s certainly true for some of my personal favorites).Īs mentioned on the main page, I hope all these rankings get you to revisit some episodes… or even try some new episodes –or series– you may have missed. Of course, that does mean that the dividing line between one rank or another can be “wafer thin” as members of Monty Python might say, so you may wish to check some of the individual series rankings first. This exhaustive list simply takes that exercise to its logical ends. Well, people do that anyway in comparing one series against another, perhaps citing a particular banner episode of their favorite series as evidence that it deserves appropriate Trek cred. How do you do it for multiple series across the decades? The challenge of weighing the merits (and demerits) of episodes against each other is hard enough in a single series. However, we are faced with a fannish quandary. ![]() Peldor Joi, Star Trek fans! There’s plenty to be grateful for in terms of Star Trek stories and below you’ll find every single one ranked (list current as of June 14th, 2020). You always have to be aware of enemy ranges and health, as well as your own minions’ ranges and health so you don’t waste Mana and effectively make it harder for yourself.TOS | TAS | TNG | DS9 | VOY | ENT | DSC | ST | PIC | LD | PRO | SNW
