[edit] Worst episode?

The trivia section mentions "And the Children Shall Lead" as the worst episode. It's pretty bad, though I thought there was a long-standing consensus that "Spock's Brain" was the worst. At least I remember Entertainment Weekly's Star Trek 25th Anniversary special issue listing "Spock's Brain" as the worst. Wl219 10:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I notice that the mention of "worst episode" has been removed. It would probably be appropriate to put it back, but with a citation backing up the claim. From what I've read on fan sites and interviews, "And the Children Shall Lead" is generally considered the worst episode by most fans as well as the actors themselves. So much so, it seems that it's rarely played, even in syndication, as if the studio is aware of just how unpopular it is. (I hadn't ever seen it, even though I grew up watching the original broadcasts, until just a few years ago.) That's not to say that there are not other bad episodes ("Spock's Brain", "The Way to Eden", "The Alternative Factor", "Catspaw", "Wolf in the Fold", et al), it's just that the consensus seems to single out this one as the worst one. — Loadmaster 15:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
