Using Star Trek: Scouts feel like cheating.
I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoy "Subspace Rhapsody." Got a real soft spot for comedy musicals.

Notice. Not a SINGLE Deep Space 9 episode on there.
Not sure how "Move Along Home" didn't make the cut. I, personally, didn't mind that episode (which also applies to much of this list), but that episode is often considered a low point. Using that also would have meant that I wouldn't have to use "Code of Honor" twice.
EDIT: Fixed. Allamarine!
"Let He Who is Without Sin" mysteriously absent.

I actually rank that one worse than move along home. While Worf's childhood trauma is an interesting tidbit, fucking making him go against everything and shack up with a cult of right wing fascists because Dax fucked Vanessa Williams is bug shit insane.
That and we never got to see him in those lamé shorts
"Profit and Lace" was also on some "Worst of Star Trek" lists that I read while planning this video

Disgusting episode. It's only pro was Vanessa Williams. Puritanical Worf and the cult leader... Disgusting.
First of all “Subspace Rhapsody” is loved.
Secondly, if you endure… you end up wanting to fuck your brother?
Alright, let's do this:
Love Disco, doesn't belong.
Say what you will about Discovery as a whole, the Klingon redesign was awful and unnecessary. Granted, I was also not a fan of the first Klingon redesign.
I'll go to bat for it. The existing Klingon makeup was initially pretty fearsome, but had become too friendly and familiar to the fans. We'd watched Worf get beat up 100 times, get married, and fret over a pimple, and we'd seen too many jolly Klingon blood wine parties. It wouldn't have been effective for Discovery's story of a truly alien warrior race re-emerging after 100 years and going straight for Starfleet's jugular. A dramatic redesign was the best most effective way to put us in the characters' headspace for the Klingon war arc. And they'd already been reworked in the past, so why not again?
(I appreciate that you oppose each redesign, though! Rarely see that consistency.)
Profit and lace: gender exploration as a comedy, instead reads as rampantly misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic. On the list.
