Also I think the worst episode of TNG, amongst a ton of choices from the last season is that fucking, shitty piece of garbage concerning Beverley's granny's funeral, featuring terrible Scottish accents and some magic candle ghost bullshit.

FUCKING AWFUL.
That was bad, but for me the episode where Lwaxana Troi has her wedding on board the Enterprise was the worst. In fact, pretty much any episode with Lwaxana Troi in it could take that crown.

Are both of those worse than the Voyager episode where the captain and some dude get transformed into weird lizard things, have babies and then suddenly turn back into people again in the last two minutes? Because that was fucking abysmal.

Well if you're going to bring Voyager into this we could go on all night naming truly awful episodes. Like when they combined Tuvok and Neelix into Tuvix and oh god it hurts to think about it.

I dunno I still remember that stupid Spirit Folk Episode. Holodeck characters turning off safeties by shooting holographic bullets at an access panel. o_O

Still TNG had that stupid Casino Episode. The Royale. Worf walking into the elevator door was funny.... Oh and "Justice" Wesley sentenced to death for walking on a plant! O_O Why is he still alive...

And Rikers homosexual episode, "The Outcast" O_O WTF?

It's hard to think of a "worst" episode of Voyager as the entire series was mediocre.

Other than the occasional EMH episodes

Yeah. One of my favorite episodes of Voy was "Someone to watch over me" The one where the EMH teachs Seven to sing.

Ah man, that one really did blow big time, I liked voyager for the most part ( I know, I know) but that just took the biscuit.

Dont under estimate teh OMEGA particle.

What, Threshold? I didn't, at any point, piss over the whole franchise by stating something couldn't be done, then doing it anyway. The writers and director were entirely happy with the episode, citing at as the "best one eva!"

That wasn't sarcasm, just downright lies. No-one liked Threshold, including the people who made it. Although I like all Trek, and will buy any and all reasons for making up new canon that contradicts old stuff, even I was telling my TV to go and try again.

That planet Scotland TNG episode was bad too - probably worse than Threshold since I can rewatch Threshold but wouldn't watch that bloody stupid ghost story episode that I felt genuinely racially offended by.

And as for Shades of Gray, and I try not to swear overly frequently, but a fuck-cunt-ing clip show? On Star Trek? CLIP SHOW?! Good lord no. Inexcusable in most shows, reason for the writer to get sent to Hell and shoved in front of Hitler in the queue for rectal grating in Trek.

Star Trek should never be taken seriously. I mean, its all a bit shit really isn't it?

It shouldn't be taken as seriously as some people take it (like some of the people at The Trek BBS for example), but at its best it's some of the best sci-fi ever IMO (especially some of the better DS9 episodes).

What the fuck happened to Brannon Braga? He wrote some bloody good TNG episodes, and by the end of Voyager he was pissing out some of the worst scripts I've ever had the misfortune to watch.

Did Ron Moore nick all his talent while they were writing together or something?

OMFG. I forgot about that episode.

In their defence they'd pretty much ran dry of cash at that point, that's why it was mostly a clips episode.

Indeed she is definitely the worst TNG character (actually now I have made that statement I remember Weasly) and a terrible actress to boot. Her voice acting in Mass effect shows she has not improved since TNG either.

Should've made Troi a Vulcan. No-one notices you can't act if you have to act like you're not acting.

I think Troi's character was really a product of the time it was created (mid 80s). I think she became rather out of place by the end of the series, and even more so in the films.

Bar Picard, TNG was chock full of dreadful characters. Voyager I don't mention along with Enterprise. Leaving only the Original Series and post goatee beard DS9 as the mac daddies of the Star Trek world.
