    Just who does IBDM let vote? This is a middling one. For me, it's a
    tossup between The Empath and the Halloween ep.

    The empath is the clear hands-down worst episode winner. Accept no
    substitutes.

    No. The Empath is at worst #4. Below it would be Spock's Brain (#1, by a
    wide margin) plus The Omega Glory in #2, just edging out Sub Rosa from TNG. >The Empath is bad, but it's not as bad as The Omega Glory or Sub Rosa and
    is miles ahead of Spock's Brain.

    I guess there was that one where the bridge crew turned into children.

    The aforementioned sub rosa.

    That one towards the end where data turns into a Mayan.

    That one Gates McMuffin directed where everybody on the Enterprise
    devolves into a different species.

    LOL, I must have missed that one. Or repressed it.

    What about the one where Wesley turns into a Native American god? I
    think they'd stopped trying by that point.

    Chnage my mind: The Travel Agent is a space PDF File.

    Catching up on all my favorite NG's and replying. This one is a heavy
    question. I will spend some leisure time over the next few days going
    over the episodes list, watching the ones I suspect qualify, and will
    reply. I am not reading the other replies to prevent the influence of
    other opinions.

    5.2? That's not even a bad score. I wouldn't give it more than a 2.5,
    and only that high to make room for several that are worse.

    I noticed a lot of the lowest scores are around 5 and 6. I was expecting
    most to be around 2 or 3.
