Playboy has ranked every Trek episode.

Personally, I almost always rate Enterprise higher than the other ones because it has that slightly unwashed feel to it, more touchable than the others. Of course, that could be because I was born in a town called Enterprise.

Enterprise began leaving fan fic and getting good just before it was canceled.

I personally have problems with any list that has any episode of Voyager rated higher than #400. But that’s just me.

That’s not really fair. Voyager as a whole was weak but here are a few episodes off the time of my head that belong in a Trek all time top 100 at least:

Projections
Deadlock
Before and After
Message in a Bottle
Living Witness
Course: Oblivion
Wink of an Eye
Shattered

I really like that Kirshar’a 3-episode arc, and though most of the Xindi season was a slog, there were a few good eps in there. I missed a lot of Enterprise first run because I could only get it on the Canadian wild-feed packages on T5 or T6, which were kind of unpredictable as to their appearance.

The actor who played Trip said they went to digital because it cost less.

I could never figure out how they (or Voyager, for that matter) were always able to repair all the damage done to the ship in time for the next episode. :dubious: :smack:

Some folks believe each episode happens a week later.
I never saw Chakotay say, “My People say something bad happens every Wednesday”.

Remember the Lectroid starship from Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension? Realistically, I cannot imagine a long-range ship without at least some sort of partial self-repair system. It may not have to look like a flying trilobite or dragonfly, but the idea of building a big metalite box to travel kiloparsecs at a time just seems unlikely.

On Enterprise NX-01, the crew was welding new sheets of metal to repair battle damage at the start of almost every episode. Where did they get them? No way they could have carried that much materiel with them into deep space!

Why not? It’s warp drive, not diesel fuel.

[Chronos]

So they have an asteroid foundry aboard. At least they’re making an effort to address the issue.

Well, true, but consider the later Holodeck, or the boxes-of-mystery on NCC-1701 that produced plates of food. Obviously, the NX-01 was developing technology, but they did use transporters on a few occasions, transporters were the basis for the capabilities of those other things. It seems to me making a thing that makes at least basic stuff like hull plates would be sensible first step in kitting a warp-5 ship out for long trips.

You’re forgetting the episode of Enterprise where they found a Space Maaco.

@hogarth

I do not for a second believe that there are 421 episodes of Star Trek worse than “Spock’s Brain”, even if you consider it on a kitsch level. Admittedly, I stopped watching Voyager after the first season, so maybe it’s possible.

I agree!
