As the name suggests.  Personally, I think that I'll have to throw my vote to Threshold. God, it's awful.  |

Hello there... You do work fast.. I don't remember Treshold, so it must have been "forgettable", but I remember being extremely bored during "Night"... man, that was ... bad. |

Hello there... You do work fast.. Indeed. Believe me. Threshold was worse than Night. Basically, Paris breaks the warp 10 barrier, and turns into a seal/lizard/slug, then mates with Janeway [making more seal/lizard/slug things]. |

Night was just endless ...

Personally, I loathe and detest Coda. With Alice a very close second.

Macrocosm wasn't great..

Put me down for "Threshold". It was one of the most ridiculous sci fi concepts I have ever seen in my whole life. I wonder who thought up the episode?? Does anyone know?

'11.59' allowed me to go and make a cup of tea during Star trek for the first ever.  |

I have to go with "Threshold" as well. There's an episode with an interesting beginning and a downright ridiculous ending. I have to wonder how they allowed such a stupid ending to ever make it on screen.

My least fav is "Counterpoint" Obviously there were worse episodes, but it shows Janeways blatent disregard for the Prime Directive (but only when it suited the story since in the previous episode, the solid "Thirty Days" she d**ned ENTIRE RACE of people in the name of PD)
It was always my example of non-continuous characterization of Voyager. Then, after the series was over, Mulgrew said it was her FAVORITE episode. For that reason, it represent everything that is bad in the series.

Okay, let's see... Three votes for Threshold. Personally, I loved this episode. Quit laughing and listen to me. You have to see Threshold for what it is: a very subtle spoof of an entire sub-genre of sci-fi films that seem to have their screenplays based on the latest check-out line tabloid story about a "frog-boy" or "crab-woman" that goes on a rampage and sexually ravages some poor "unevolved" human in the process. These sorts of films often become cult classics (think The Fly) and are enjoyed as much for their camp comic value as for anything else. Paris' numerous soliloquies about the nature of his freakish existence, the barf-bag visuals of pieces falling off of him, his kidnapping of Janeway, and the brilliantly written and acted exchange between Tuvok and Chakotay in sickbay are all hints to help you get the point of the episode. Unfortunately, most Voyager fans don't seem to be able to understand satire unless it's so overdone as to become critically pointless. (Whoa, I sounded like Holodoc there for a second! ;D ) Okay, what else... One vote each for Night, Coda, Macrocosm, 11:59, and Counterpoint... - Night wasn't the most exciting of episodes, but it wasn't all bad...after all, it has Dr. Chaotica in it -- the kind of satire most Voyager fans think they get, but don't -- and it introduced the Malon. Ick.
- Coda...hmm...I really liked this one. Some great commentary here on life, the afterlife, and how a person's actions in the former can affect his comfort in the latter.
- Macrocosm...you're kidding!? Four words: Janeway plays Ellen Ripley. (For the uninitiated, that's Sigourney Weaver's character from the Alien movies.) Or perhaps: Janeway wears tank top. Plus Neelix gets covered in viral alien slime. What's not to like here? ;D
- 11:59...I missed this one...or rather, the person making tapes for me missed this one. But, having read the synopsis, I can imagine being bored to tears (or to tea, a la T'Pol), but I feel less than qualified to render an opinion here.
- Counterpoint I enjoyed tremendously for the crafty cunning Janeway displays in dealing with the Devore...UT's valid critique notwithstanding.
My personal "anti-favorite" episode is The Chute. Two words immediately come to mind here: "stupid" and "dumb." Oh, and "ick." Commando Janeway saving the day at the end only adds to my dislike of this episode. Coming in next-to-last in my list is the Future's End two-parter. Couldn't they have found someone less annoying to play Starling? Come to think of it, couldn't they have found a better way to get Doc his mobile emitter altogether? (That was the entire point of this episode, you know...) |

You have to see Threshold for what it is: a very subtle spoof of an entire sub-genre of sci-fi films Yet, one which was pulled off extremely badly, IMO. It seemed far too much as if they were taking it seriously. [OK, so that last sentence didn't make sense, but who cares? ] It was awful, whatever way you look at it. [/li][li] Macrocosm...you're kidding!? Four words: Janeway plays Ellen Ripley. (For the uninitiated, that's Sigourney Weaver's character from the Alien movies.) Or perhaps: Janeway wears tank top. [/quote] *sharpens knife* More than four words : Mulgrew acts badly in a rip-off off an excellent series of films with an excellent lead actress. In addition, the episode had terrible V and SFX, and completely failed to impress. Just awful. In addition, I would agree with you about The Chute, but Future's End wasn't terrible. [We did get the C29 Federation, admittedly in an infantile form, but we still got them]. |

Macroism was one of the first Voys I saw (yah, it took about 3 years for me to bother tuning in) and I was very... well, I don't know. Mulgrew in a Tank Top was NOT a good point for me, and the Arnold Schwarzenegger Gatling Gun/Phaser thing was just awful.. IMO that is.
