30 Worst Star Trek Episodes
Excluding the animated series these are my least favorite Star Trek episodes.
The list contains:
9 TOS episodes
6 TNG episodes
4 DS9 episodes
6 Voyager episodes
5 Enterprise episodes
DS9 is the most stable show in my opinion. I was surprised that is was difficult to find the bad episodes. TOS differed much from episode to episode, hence the higher number of episodes on this list.
Here is how I rank the different Star-Trek-shows:
TNG>TOS>DS9>Enterprise>Voyager
