10 Worst Star Trek: Next Generation Episodes

10. Cost Of Living (Season 5 Episode 20)

After destroying an asteroid heading for a heavily populated planet, The Enterprise develops an unknown metallic rot which is slowly devouring the ship. Meanwhile, Deanne Troi's mother, and triple word score in Scrabble, Lwaxana is back on board and looking to marry a man she has met over the computer. Pretty remarkable how spot on they were with internet dating in 1992, eh?

Why It Sucks: Love her or hate her, Lwaxana is a very divisive character. Some see her as a hilariously outspoken royal where as others see her as nothing more than a royal pain in the backside. Considering she was played by none other than Majel Barrett- Roddenberry (Gene Rodenberry's wife) Star Trek fans had to get used to the idea that she was going to be a recurring character. Combine that with a pointless cameo of the Parallax colony and a mediocre child actor playing Worf's son and you have a stinker of an episode.

What Didn't Suck: Seeing Worf, master of Battle Tactics and expert in all things Proton Torpedo-y struggle to keep a child in line made him more relatable and kind-hearted.
