It was surprisingly close, considering how awful “Move Along Home” was, but Crusher’s voyage to the planet of the Scottish stereotypes and ghost boning wins out, and “Bev Gets Wax Fever”, er, “Sub Rosa” moves on to the Egregious Eight.
And now we’ve got “Enterprise” versus “TNG” in an awful ep smackdown.
“These Are The Voyages…”
Enterprise, Season 4, Episode 22
It tells you how awful this episode is that the caption of the photo in its Wikipedia entry is critical of it.
“Code of Honor”
TNG, Season 1, Episode 4
The entire first season of “The Next Generation” is fairly awful; there’s a reason TNG became the trope namer for a show finding its way on TVTropes. Yes, that’s a link to said wiki. You’ve been warned.
“Code of Honor”, on the other hand, is so bad, Google thinks it’s racist. No, seriously:
That’s an actual Google result.
As always, log your votes on Facebook or in the comments, and remember: whoever wins this round faces “Spock’s Brain” in the Egregious Eight!

These Are The Voyages…
One last fuck you to the Enterprise cast and it’s loyal fanbase of 12.
These Are The Voyages
These Are The Voyages. Manny Coto turned 4th-season Enterprise into real Trek and we got this middle finger as a goodbye.
Thats what pissed me off the most. Coto had Enterprise in a great position to make some outstanding Star Trek and they pull the rug out from under us. These are the Voyages gets my vote, but Code of Honor deserves its own level of trek hell.
Code of Honor, though it looks like I’m in the minority here. Whatever, I’ll stand my ground. Just like William Riker learned how to do via his useful and interesting sojourn to the holodeck during the Pegasus mission. WHICH WE CAN ALL AGREE WAS HINTED AT IN THE ORIGINAL TNG EPISODE. Just kidding, but seriously, my vote is Code of Honor…
Shaka Zulu. Voyages stunk and ripped off the fans and left legacy in a lurch. Code took that dump barely a month in when the writers were supposedly fresh. My pick percentage is low, but I’ll keep voting with the gut.
These Are The Voyages. THAT POS might be the last TV Trek for a very, very long time. Chew on that.
If you value your free time, do NOT click on the link to TV Tropes. Its like the Internet version of crack; one click and your addicted. [tvtropes.org]
As much as I want to vote for Code of Honor, I can’t give These Are the Voyages… a free pass. I haven’t been more pissed at a Series Finale since Quantum Leap ended with “Dr. Sam Beckett Never Returned Home. Oh, and there is no Easter Bunny. Santa Claus is really your mom and dad. And your real dad’s the mailman. Thanks for watching!”
Code of Hodor.
errr Honor.
Having bailed on Enterprise after one ep, I can’t see how anything could have spoiled it. So Code has it – it’s the smell that never really goes away.
Dired nailed it. I tried watching Enterprise and just ……meh. Code of Honor was a horrible episode, racism aside.
These are the voyages was the biggest F you to Enterprise fans.
So my choices are semi-accidental racism or an intentional shot of petulance from Berman and Braga? GAHHHHH…
As bad as it is: if certain initial casting decisions hadn’t been based on skin melanin, Code Of Honor might have escaped this tourney – it’d just be a crappy episode. These Are the Voyages… is the crowning achievement in a long line of Trek arrogance from B&B.
I reluctantly vote for These Are The Voyages… – if only because Code Of Honor makes TNG fans shake their heads and facepalm, while These Are The Voyages… gives the ENT fans I know (all 4 of them) momentary lapses of Tourette’s.
These Are the Voyages. I wasn’t a fan of the series but still made an effort to watch this episode (after making it through only the first season and a few random episodes after) and it confirmed my belief that Enterprise was always the worst of all the series.
Tasha Yar on a Jungle Gym is the single worst SCENE in all of Star Trek history, and it’s enough to sink down all of Code of Honor. Well, okay, Code of Honor was already hovering at the bottom before that scene, but still, seriously…Tasha Yar on a Jungle Gym.
(ehh, “These are the Voyages…” was bad, but did at least a little bit of fan service in an okay way. Not in the same league of badness as Code of Horror).
