Most popular turkey so far is Spock's Brain!
Kirk - 'Is he dead?'
McCoy -'it's worse than that Jim, his brain's gone'.
Spock's Brain
It contains all the classic cliches: the race with time and last minute panic as 'Bones' loses his superhuman knowledge of brain surgery; the beautiful but dense female characters and, of course, the 'ha ha' factor in the closing moments after Spock sits up completely unphased by having had his brain stolen and then returned.
And, naturally, a classic Kirk morality monologue. What more could a Trekker ask for?

Shades Of Grey
The episode is an attempt to cut costs by showing flashback scenes
while Riker is in a coma.

Spocks Brain
Spock as the thinking mans Frankenstein did not work for me.
Plotless, clueless, pointless.
- Matt from Ipswich
Meridian
The idea that a planet can shift dimensions every 60 years and transform it's inhabitants into non-corporeal beings is ridiculous. More than that, the idea that a Starfleet officer with over 300 years worth of experience would even consider leaving behind her friends and career to spend 60 years with a mediocre man is ludicrous. It just goes to show that wisdom doesn't come with age but with a better storyline.

Deep Space Nine: The Muse
This one is a double whammy of tedium. Although I love DS9 I've always considered ke-(O!) to be one of the least compelling characters. He is abused by a not very scary or even interesting villain of the week who draws on his creative juices. Meanwhile the ever-annoying Lwaxana Troi goes through yet another mid-life crisis in the company of an unusually slushy Odo. A real low point of an otherwise superb series of DS9, I'm sure you'll agree.

The Man Trap
The acting by some of the people is just so bad, with a shape-changing alien running amock and showing just how bad security procedures really are on the flagship of Starfleet. Also, how much loyalty does Spock really have to Kirk, as he almost let him die at the end - was it just me, or did he seem to be enjoying it a bit too much?!
- Matthew Munson from Ramsgate
Spock's Brain
The little box controlling Spock in the absence of a brain. My law of Star Trek is that the flimsiness of the female costumes is proportional to the flimsiness of the plot.
- Dan Shirley from Hemel Hempstead
The Menagerie Parts 1 & 2
Well what a lame excuss this episode was. The script writers must have come back and said "sorry Gene, we've got nothing this week, but we've thought of a way to use up some old film"
- Miss. S. Percy from Walsall
The Apple
This has to be the worst ever episode which was about a group of people who dressed as hippies and insulted others by calling them 'Herberts'. They had an obsession with finding Eden and unfortunately they couldn't find it.
- Gregory Mann from Colchester
Shakaar
In short... Nothing happens except Kira talking about how bad the soil is, which I'm sure doesn't need an entire episode!
- Mark Bagnall from Sheffield
Garden of Eden
It represented THE 1960'S, WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE 23RD CENTURY IT WAS JUST SO TACKY MAN.........SO UNGROOOOOOOOOVY............YOU KNOW......
- Vincent Robson from Glasgow
Threshold
It was hopelessly confused, irrational, illogical, absurd, etc. etc. And it wasn't even funny!
- Simon Smith from Cardiff
Skin of Evil
Rubish death of a great charactor - Tasha Yar - by a useless oily carpet shaped baddie with a stupid 'Skelatoresque' voice.
- Oliver Smith from Cambridge
Trials and tribble-ations
Those damned tribbles make the episode so bad I just HATE them! Why on Earth did they make that episode
- Andrew Pollok from Thurso
Non Sequitur - Voyager
To me, Star Trek is about space, different races, technology and starships and the voyager series has all of these things apart from this one episode. 90% of the episode is about life on Earth. When I watch StarTrek I don't want to see how boring life is living on Earth, it's much more entertaining to see warp core breaches, phaser fights and Borg cube.
- Ben Golden from Midsomer Norton
Spock's Brain
At this point in Star Trek's production (series 3) there were some major problems. Lack of budget was one, but lack of good scripts was another. This particular was an example of some of the poorer storylines that a Star Trek episode. Origonally written by former Star Trek producer Gene Coon, this was quite a good story. However, somewhere down the line, it was re-written into a totally ridiculous script involving Spock's Brain being stolen by a mysterious woman, yet Spock's hair manages to remain in tact. It represented Star Trek's slide into oblivion

TNG:DATA'S DAY
Start's off dull, then goes into a mind numbing mid-section, and get ready with the in flight sick bag for the finale. What could of been a memorable wedding of 'the O'brien's' turns out to be not even good enough to be called a 'chick' episode, with my wife clambering for the remote control. The writter must have been going through a writters block at the time, either that or the deadline was fast approaching. The only other episodes that shouldn't be watched is any of them where WESLEY is the central character, and SHADES OF GREY.
- MATTHEW DAVIES from SWANSEA
Symbiosis
Tasha Yar explaining to an incredulous Wesley that some people's lives are so bad that they take drugs to escape reality. It's dreadful. Really dreadful. It makes me cringe to even think about it.
- Rob Fisher from Sheffield
Encounter at Farpoint
This episode introduced us to all of the wonderful characters featured in the breath-taking Next Generation series. Unfortunately, it failed in it's most important task....killing off Wesley Crusher before anymore episodes were made!!
