10 Worst Sequels In Star Trek

The first season of The Next Generation is a mixed bag when it comes to the quality of the episodes. The Battle is one of the stronger efforts, introducing the Stargazer, the Picard Manoeuvre, and DaiMon Bok. Patrick Stewart gets a chance to shine as he battles the Ferengi's mind-control orb, while audiences are treated to a return of the Enterprise bridge as seen in the first three Star Trek films.

Bok's grievance with Picard centres on the loss of his son in the Battle of Maxia, despite his boy's provocation of the Stargazer. At the end of this episode, Bok is arrested and taken away, returning six years later in Bloodlines.

The seventh-season sequel isn't awful by any means. When placed in the context of Picard's third season Jack Crusher reveal, it takes on greater depth, offering an early example of Picard as a family man. However, Jason Vigo is a difficult character to root for, and the eleventh hour reveal of a potential son, a former flame, and a paternal side is simply too much in the final hours of the show's last episodes. 

The storyline goes nowhere, while the return of Bok feels cheap. His attempts to trick Picard feel less like a gut punch and more of a nod to an earlier, stronger episode. Also - was anyone truly looking for a sequel to that episode in particular?
