[Insert Trek episode of choice]

Rewatch recency bias places my vote toward TOS s3e1 "Spock's Brain"

Lower image from Galaxy Trek, er, Star Quest... um, something like that.

TNG S01E04: "Code of Honor"

Not their finest hour. Season 1 was rough at times.

The original script only mentions one Black person. The Ligonian were described as resembling lizards. This wasn’t the fault of the writer Katharyn Powers or Michael Baron.

I wonder if that was one of the recycled "Phase 2" scripts.

Spock's Brain is fully "so bad its good" for me. But there's no saving Code of Honor.

I'd still watch CoH over Nemesis though.

My vote is for Voyager - Tattoo:

Or maybe The Fight. That one sucks too.

Anything involving that "cultural consultant" qualifies.

"Gentlemen, I give you... Spock's Brain Two!"

I completely forgot that the episode was so bad that they did it again, and it was still bad.

He's 8 months along, don't judge.

My vote goes to “These Are the Voyages…” – Enterprise S4E22

"Turnabout Intruder" aged pretty poorly 😬

"Catspaw". I will fight you all on this hill. Spock's Brain led to some good parodies. Ref: Mike Carano directed a live show adaptation in LA that elevates the cheese. Glory to the House of Carano.

I’d nominate Shades of Gray, but it was hardly written at all, it was mostly recycled clips of other episodes.

The writer's strike of that time claimed a lot of victims.

That one was a budget shortfall actually.
