DS9 as a whole is my favorite Trek series, but the worst episode in all of Star Trek, in my opinion, is from the show: Move Along Home, episode nine of season one. The gang gets trapped in an alien’s board game, and hijinks ensue. It features all the worst things about Trek, and none of the best. It’s campy but not charming, it’s got nonsense words that are completely unnecessary and never again referenced, its stakes are simultaneously too high and insignificant, and the writing is just bad.
Similarly, Voyager is my favorite, but it also has my absolute least favorite episode: the one where Kes goes into heat. I’m not going into any further details lol
