Although DS9 did have some great titles. Just compare all three series finale episode titles. "All Good Things..." is a really good title, that Dawson's Creek also used (was TNG the first to use it?). "What You Leave Behind" is also good, although not quite as great as the TNG effort.

And for Voyager, we get "Endgame", one of the oldest and most cliched episode titles out there.

But, er, what were we talking about again?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

"The Changing Face of Evil" was DS9, BTW. Perhaps we should have a thread for The Best Ever Episode Title, Ever. I'm not sure what my vote would be, but I just love the Futurama title "Roswell That Ends Well." 8)

I always thought the Voyager finale should be called "The Long and Winding Road." I'm not sure why. Don't think there's ever been a Beatles reference in Trek. . .

"B5 did have a few one-word titles."

And because I am just DYING to one-up Liam:

S1:
Infection
Believers
Survivors
TKO
Grail
Eyes
Legacies
Chrysalis

S2:
Revelations
GROPOS
Knives

S3:
Convictions
Exogenesis
Walkabout

S4:
Epiphanies
Atonement
Endgame

See anything as egregious as "One" there, Beard Boy? Eh? EH? Didn't think so. Well, except "Endgame", but at least JMS can be forgiven for his lapse in creativity. B)

They'll probably start doing episode titles:

"A"
"B"
"C"
"D"

etc.

Or... they can stop naming episodes altogether, a'la "Friends". [Smile]

And yes... thread name pretty much sums what I thought about "Dear Doctor" episode idea.

I guess they run out of good episodes to ste... um, "pay homage to", so they are switching to bad ones...

Although "One" wasn't that bad, wasn't it? [Big Grin]

Hmmm,
Along with Friends, Nikita had fun with the whole episode naming thing.
IIRC, their episode titles had as many words in them as the current season.
e.g. one word for season 1, two words for season 2, etc.

Not knowing much about the show, I hope they didn't get to season 7 or anything [Wink]

Blackadder The Third also imitated Jane Austin novels, with titles like "Dish and Dishonesty".

Well, specifically, two Jane Austen novels.

(As opposed to the celebrated western novelist, Jane Austin. I'll bet that webpage is extremely funny if you are a huge 19th century literature nerd.)

Do you just have a huge list of web-pages like this stored just in case a semi-humorous situation arises?

I came across it while doublechecking my knowledge of Jane Austen novels, which is, on its own, limited to knowing that she wrote some.
