Worst Episodes

#1 Post by T.Q. »

Any episodes you’ll likely never watch again?

As you know going through series looking for 4th Walls.

Came to Paradise Blues (Season 4).

Out came a “noooooo”.

Thought this may be first on the list of never rewatching.

Worst part is I sat through the episode and didn’t see any.

Are there any episodes you really dislike to the point you’ll never watch again?

Two birds of a feather, of course.

But also Under World (Season 5) has so many plot holes in it, I get annoyed watching it.

"Two Birds" is definitely one.

HEY, I like Under World! :evil:

Those are all pretty low on my list, but there are none that I won't watch again.

Just as I hate the Pierce Brosnan 007 flicks, I still watch them as I'm going through the series.

I cringe so hard when TC's "brother" is telling the story in Vietnamese to him while he's in a coma. "I want my brother to live". Such a phony come on! Also when they're in the waiting room you see the boom mic drop into frame.... wow.

As I said in a separate post, I skip the Virginia ones. I also don't like the LA ones. I'll watch all the Hawaii ones, no matter how ridiculous. :magnum:

Yeah. The whole story doesn't make sense! I wish it did though because I love the episodes that take place on and under the water.

I may get totally slammed here, but I can‘t and don’t watch ‚Home from the Sea‘

I find the episode depressing, claustrophobic and boring.

To give some context, I have only watched Jaws once.

I don’t get it, but I’m not gonna judge...I really like Computer Date and I can’t even explain why!

Home from the Sea is enjoyable but nowhere near my top 10.
Jaws, on the other hand, is a classic film on every level. I’ve watched the scene of the Brodie, Hooper, and Quint getting drunk and telling stories on the Orca countless times.

I saw Jaws in the 1970s, then watched it again about 5 years ago. It truly is an amazing film, and I'm due for another viewing.

I also like "Home from the Sea," but I agree with with Bondtoys that it is depressing.

I just watched "Laura" last night, and it's one of my least favorite episodes. Mostly because of its very sad subject matter, and the fact that it didn't have a happy ending. Not everything needs a happy ending, but that episode's story is just tragic from start to finish.

That is definitely a rough episode. I am impressed at how Sinatra acted in it. He sold the emotion to me... It's not one I really want to "rewatch"... At least "justice" is served at the end.

I also have the same feelings with "find me a rainbow". Kidnapped kids, being sold on the black market. And the dialogue is pretty bad. The lawyer is busted and all she says is "do you have any idea what this will do to my career?" There are some good shots of the estate though...
