We've discussed what's good about Star Trek...but I want to know about the bad and ugly of Star Trek. What would make even the most die-hard Trekkie cringe?
Worst TNG Episode: Shades of Grey
Worst music: That jam session from "Way to Eden" - bleh!

I like the "Way to Eden" music. I mean, come on...space hippies...and Spock. Not very serious, or sensical, but take some cold medicine and rewatch it. Groovy.

I agree with worst series: Voyager ("We're trying to get home, but let's take about 50,000 side trips so we end up where we started. That'll keep the series going, yeah!)
Worst movie: Insurrection ("Let's play with weird graphics and make little trippy flowers! Trippy, trippy""What's wrong with you?""Trippy flowers!""Okay, you need to lay off the LDS""LDS?")The coolest thing in the movie was the control joystick to fly the enterprise (However, do you really think a joystick would fly the Enterprise like "Top Gun"?) I'd much sooner watch TMP 50 times over with no Beer ("No BEER!")
Worst character: Tie between Guinan and any "good" Borg after the Hugh episode. Guinan, this is Star Trek, not Cheers. As for the "Good" Borg thing, do you really think they'd succeed twice on the "Good" Borg thing?
------------------ Look at the past few years: Jimmy Carter: Who we kidding, Valium Posterchild. We go to: Ronald Reagan, Howdy Doody Sr. If it keeps getting benign, we might end up with: Mr. Rogers, "Can you say Armageddon? Oops, too late." Or we can get macho and have: Jack Nicholson vs. Clint Eastwood, Shortest debate in history, all Jack will have to say is "How can you debate me, you haven't opened your goddammed eyes in twenty years."

Worst case of time dilation gone all wonko: Alexander Rozhenko & Naomi Wildman. YEAH, they're alien species, but come ON! Alexander was SEVEN when Worf & Dax got married. SEVEN!!! Naomi was born in what, 72....does she LOOK 5? NO.
Worst episode EVER (said in the voice of Comic Book Guy): Hands down, "Spock's Brain." When was the last time you heard a person's body make sounds like a 1930s movie serial robot?
Worst holodeck simulation: Captain fucking PROTON....but "Fair Haven" is running a DAMN close second.
Worst usage of an extremely talented actor: F. Murray Abraham, "Crapsurrection." Holy SHIT...THIS guy played SALIERI. He was like the ONLY good reason to watch that horrid piece of Tom Selleck sputum "An Innocent Man." The man...is an acting GOD. He does evil SO well; remember "The Name Of The Rose?" And what do they give him here? A 1-dimensional character who looks like Joan Rivers & Carol Channing rolled into one.
Worst portrayal of a token stereotype: Chakotay. "Oh, PLEASE, Commander...can I hear ANOTHER squirrel story??"
Worst hairstyle: a tie between s1 Deanna Troi, "pageboy" Worf, anything of Wesley's, & early Janeway
