Worst TNG episode ever?

Morbius and Adams, with the Krell machine

But does the beast have to be so dangerous. And invisible?

It wouldn’t really get the point across if it was a teddy bear, now would it?

Oh, I don’t know…

Like one of these teddy bears?

(from the dauphin)

I assume that’s what Morphius’ ID thought was frightening. It’s possible everyone’s monster would be kinda unique to them. (Giant spiders, The Blob, your mother-in-law’s moustache…)

The version of Forbidden Planet with the invisible beast was censored in Australia.
I believe that is why it glowed in the laser fire.

Is that something that beat up Worf? :smiley:

I think it’s the Klingon Prom.

You said that in post #182! :smiley:

The worst episode? First, eliminate any that aren’t about Wesley.

D’oh… :smack::smiley:

People claim Voyager does this all the time with their technobabble, but they really don’t.[/li][/ol]
The only redeeming feature is how Data’s full functionality was used to prove he was sapient (and emotional, though he’d never admit it) in Measure of a Man.

He and Tasha could certainly have provided an interesting courtroom demonstration for the defense.

She had been whacked by the Tar Baby by then.

Well, Gene Roddenberry didn’t like her taking her clothes off for a magazine.
Whatever.

Nancarrow, his tubs of toffee ice cream emptied.

Carnivorousplant, at the wreck of a beer truck.

Bottles empty, his pants unfurled!
