CBS (ended 1994)
Worst episode from each season:
Season 1 = "Coming Of Age" Wesley centered ep. need I say more.
Season 2 = "The Child" A whiny Troi episode.
Season 3 = "The Most Toys".
Season 4 = "The Host" Crusher falls in love episode.
Season 5 = "Imaginary Friend". Second worst.
Season 6 = "Rascals" Picard, Ro Laren, Guinan and Keiko O'Brien as 12 year olds. Come on.
Season 7 = "Sub Rosa".
Worst overall "Ethics" Season 5. Sap-factor 10+!!!
Season 1 = "Code Of Honor" - very dull remake of "Amok Time"
Season 2 = "Shades Of Grey" - cheap way for a finale
Season 3 = "Captain's Holiday" - Picard + gold-digging slut/real life girlfriend = bad episode
Season 4 = "Night Terrors" - 'nuff said
Season 5 = "The Perfect Mate" - disgusting endorsement of prostitution/child abuse
Season 6 = "Man Of The People" - again, 'nuff said
Season 7 = "Genesis" - we are not men, we are devo-lved
Season 1 = "When The Bough Breaks" - someone call Fagin already
Season 2 = "The Schizoid Man" - Data as Hemingway, puh-leeze
Season 3 = "A Matter Of Perspective" - Perry Mason gone awry
Season 4 = "Qpid" - STUpid is more the appropos title here
Season 5 = "The Outcast" - androgyny + hetero relationship = gay allegory. Huh?
Season 6 = "Birthright" - two-part snoozer with Daddy issues.
Season 7 = "Sub Rosa" - Beverly goes ghostbuster
Season 1 = "Home Soil" - started the whole annoying bug trend
Season 2 = "Up The Long Ladder" - Attack Of The Hee Haw Clones
Season 3 = "The Price" - Troi gets her ride pimped
Season 4 = "Suddenly Human" - Suddenly annoyed, ditch the brat already
Season 5 = "Relics" - shabby treatment of Scotty, ties with "Unification" with worst handling of TOS guest-stars/characters
Season 6 = "Frame Of Mind" - Riker's lost weekend, let me out of herrrreeee.
Season 7 = "Emergence" - Pull the plug on this one
I actually couldn't pick a single least-favorite for the first 2 seasons. There were about 10 contenders from those 2 seasons for worst episode, but thankfully, the show found its stride in season 3.
Season 1) a 5-way tie between Code of Honor, Justice, Haven, When the Bough Breaks, and Symbiosis.
Season 2) 4-way tie: The Child, The Schizoid Man, The Royale, and Shades of Grey.
Season 3) The Price
Season 4) The Host
Season 5) Ethics
Season 6) Aquiel
Season 7) Sub Rosa
It's too hard to pick out the single worst episode of the series. All of these listed episodes were lousy, but I would say Code of Honor.
There are other episodes (like Rascals) that have silly premises but are at least moderately entertaining.
|"The Price" is the worst episode ever. When they are zooming on Troi's foot being rubbed by Lloyd Braun... Ugh. The actual story of the episode is actually good, but the Troi/Lloyd Braun love story is disgusting. Another bad one is the season 7 episode where Crusher has falls in love with the Erotic Plasma Beast of Scotland.|
And it was the obvious inspiration for both DS9 and Voyager.
