Stupidest episodes of Star Trek

<< < (6/11) > >>

David_Dovey:
And the Enterprise is just a GMC Vandura with pipes glued to the sides

KharBevNor:
Would I be strung up from a pole if I said I thought that The Trouble With Tribbles is, on balance, my favourite episode of ToS (If not maybe 'the best' objectively).

Actually TwT is kind of stupid anyway when you think about it.

Jimor:
Not at all. Humor never gets enough respect, and when you look at that episode, there was a lot of nice insight into many of the characters as well as the Klingons, so I'd be all right with it being nominated as "the best" by any criteria.

I've started watching Enterprise online on the CBS site (only available in U.S. I'm sure) for the first time. So far, just starting season 2, I've been pleasantly surprised by it. Solid stories and characters, and a real sense of exploring while developing what the mission means to them.

One problem I always had with Voyager was a total lack of any sense of Journey to it all. Which is one of things my writing partner and I tried to sneak into one of our pitches to the show.

Ozymandias:
If you're enjoying Enterprise thus far, which I insist is actually fairly reasonable, I think you might find seasons 3 and 4 to be quite a treat.

What's interesting is than Ronald D. Moore was in charge of Voyager for about the first three episodes before leaving because he though it was going in a moronic direction. Battlestar Galactica actually represents the sort of direction he wanted to take the show in- not quite as political and dark perhaps as BSG ended up being, but definitely how the Galactica slowly fell apart through the course of the show and the tensions of being completely alone in hostile lands and how that would play on the characters' struggle to uphold Federation ideals. Not to mention he wouldn't have forgotten half the crew was Maquis midway through the first season.

Orbert:
I actually watched every episode of Voyager, either its original broadcast or recorded or caught the repeat sometime during the week.  I did this for seven years, because I couldn't believe that they could blow such an interesting premise, a premise which such amazing potential.  And nine out of ten times, they'd disappoint of course, but then they'd have an actually good episode where a character shows actual growth, or they actually do something involving real sci-fi and I'd go "Yes!  They're finally getting it!"  And then next week I'd be disappointed again, but in the meantime my hopes were raised enough to keep me going.  I can't believe I watched the entire series, and nothing ever happened.
