Star Trek: The Original Series....why?? Join me as I boldly go where no one has gone before... to the depths af terrible Star Trek episode! In this video, I'll be exploring the worst of the worst, the cringe-worthy, the illogical, and the just plain bad. Was it a poorly written script, cringe- worthy acting, I'll be diving into the episode that makes you wonder how they
ever made it to air. So, grab your phaser and get ready to blast off into the
world of bad Star Trek.

Just who does IBDM let vote? This is a middling one. For me, it's a tossup between The Empath and the Halloween ep.

I guess there was that one where the bridge crew turned into children. >>>>> That was an eyeroller. I'd still call "Spock's Brain" worse, though.
The aforementioned sub rosa.
That one towards the end where data turns into a Mayan.
AKA, The Brent Spiner One-Man Acting Extraviganza!
That one Gates McMuffin directed where everybody on the Enterprise
devolves into a different species.
I hate magic DNA but I hate when they get the real stuff wrong. Geordi
didn't "devolved" into a primate, Troi "devolved" into an arachnid, etc
Troi was amphibious. Barclay was the spider.
That's even worse in Barclay's case, because he's a human!
Troi might be of space-French descent, however.

The empath is the clear hands-down worst episode winner. Accept no
substitutes.
No. The Empath is at worst #4. Below it would be Spock's Brain (#1, by a >wide margin) plus The Omega Glory in #2, just edging out Sub Rosa from TNG. >The Empath is bad, but it's not as bad as The Omega Glory or Sub Rosa and
is miles ahead of Spock's Brain.

Hunh. What was he doing?
He was infamous for pulling childish crap, like if any visitor to the
set, sat in the captains chair, which they all obviously would want to
do he storm off the set in a hissy fit and not come back that day.
I did a search on on-set tantrums from him, and I found one story from
the first season which ends which everybody having a good laugh about it >all. I knew immediately that it was a planted story to confuse the
search results for things like "Patrick Stewart throws a fit." Since it
was clearly planted, I figured there must have been a series of other >tantrums to be concealed.
The captain's chair, really? Part of the set? Was he going nuts and >confusing himself with Picard? :D
As far as the writers went a couple of them talked about what a
nightmare it was in an article in starlog and they said he would hand
them script changes he wanted. But that's not the chain of command.
Actors don't tell the writers to make changes. If they want them, they
go to the producer or the story, editor or a showrunner. Can you imagine >> >what a nightmare it would be if all the actors were constantly coming to >> >the scriptwriter with changes? And it was bad enough they'd quit.
And his insistance of getting some romantic and action eps, hence
whats-her-name on Risa and the Die Hard ripoff.
You know, I never understood why some people insisted Picard was sexy.

Oh man, the space hippies were far worse! Spock jamming on some goofy
Vulcan guitar gizmo? "Like live long & prosper, space dude!" Ouch!

Catching up on all my favorite NG's and replying. This one is a heavy question. I will spend some leisure time over the next few days going
over the episodes list, watching the ones I suspect qualify, and will
reply. I am not reading the other replies to prevent the influence of
other opinions.

5.2? That's not even a bad score. I wouldn't give it more than a 2.5,
and only that high to make room for several that are worse.

I noticed a lot of the lowest scores are around 5 and 6. I was expecting
most to be around 2 or 3.

I loved this episode as a child. A local broadcast station has star trek >every night, and it was playing one night some months ago. It started
okay, but then the it turned dumb really fast. The acting wasn't too
bad, tho. They did what they could for a budget saving episode.
It is also obvious that many of the writers of that era served during
the big war. Many stories are influenced by it.
