10 Most Hated Star Trek Voyager Episodes

After breaking the warp 10 barrier, Paris undergoes a grotesque metamorphosis in an all-time worst episode of Star Trek. Threshold contains an avalanche of technobabble dialogue, lore inconsistencies like stating that Warp 10 is theoretically unbreakable when in the TNG finale, "All Good Things," ships in the future could reach warp 13, and a dragging pace with the bulk of the action taking place in sickbay where Paris is evolving at a rate of millions of years in a matter of days with makeup that looks more like devolution.

The infirmary scenes, filled with exposition trying to explain what is happening to Paris, are instantly tedious and the visits by various crew members to check in on him offer nothing interesting consisting mainly of, "how are you?" and "hang in there."

Despite all that, it remains an ordinary bad episode until the third act completely crosses the threshold to terrible in a series of ridiculous events. First mutant Paris kidnaps Janeway, steals the shuttle, and breaks warp 10 thus ending up in an obscure planet where they morph into amphibious creatures.

The crew has no idea where they are but are magically able to triangulate their location and then the very next scene, Paris and Janeway are back in sickbay, magically human again. It all plays out like one giant parody. Also, if they can easily reverse the side effects, why not take Voyager to warp 10 and teleport to Earth? The series could have been over yet no one even thinks to suggest it. On the whole, Threshold is terrible and easily the worst thing to come out of the Delta Quadrant.
