The series finale of Malcolm in the Middle. Way to completely manipulate your son, Lois. Not very much better than your mother, are you?

Doctor Who: "Love and Monsters" Just what the bloody hell were they thinking?
A million times this. I remember watching this on the day it aired and thinking ''What... the fuck? This is Doctor Who, right? What the shit balls?''
It was awful.

Soul Eater: Any episode with Excalibur. Nuff said.
Yes. I'm so glad someone else said it, I actually just skipped the third one because I knew it would be trash, I did like Excalibur's part in the last episode though, he was kind of funny as long as the episode wasn't completely about him.

Most of the 10th Doctor's run after his first season, bonus points if Russel T. Davies wrote it. Special shout out to End of Time for being a complete mess from beginning to end and Human Nature/Family of Blood for taking a cool concept and then ruining the entire concept by having a resolution that undermines not just the entire point of the episode, but the character of the 10th Doctor.
Most of the last 2 seasons of Battlestar Galactica tended towards bad, but I can't think of most of them at this point. I've kinda mellowed out on them over the past couple of years because of distance and watching things some worse writing.

Why can't this be the favorite episodes of our favorite series? Too many horrible memories!

Stargate SG-1: it got a little dry near the end, and I think the season 8 ending was terrific. Though episode 200 was awesome... I digress. There were some slow episodes, especially ones that didn't make sense. Like Teal'c stuck in a video game, because he thinks he can't win.
Aw who am I kidding, they're all great.

Lets try another show...
Samurai Jack, nope... Battlestar Galactica: the ending? eh... Another Stargate...
Rough... Roughnecks! the last one of the ice comet one. Kinda Terrible. Just Sayin.

There's no such thing as a bad episode of Married with Children.

Okay, I'll go with Adventure Time. Any time Marceline sings, it's a bad episode.

Futurama - Either the one where Bender gets a sex change, or that cats from space episode (bonus points are awarded to the latter for completely ripping off an episode of Garfield and Friends).

Freakazoid - The Handman episode. Actually, most of the beginning of season one was terrible, until they figured out what to do with the show. And while nowhere as bad as Handman, Normadeus was a really lame episode to end the show with.

I don't remember the names of the episodes and i'm too lazy to google them before firing this off and heading for bed, but I think people will know which ones I'm talking about.

Star Trek:TNG Planet of the Black People and The Oirish in Space. Shame on everyone involved in those episodes. Troi heavy episodes can go to hell as well but not as deep a circle as the other two.

As far as Battlestar goes, it dragged a bit towards the end but I still enjoyed it mostly apart from what happened to Starbuck. That was just a bit too much of mysterious for no good reason BS for my liking. I would have been happier with her being a cylon.

Since I don't watch TV I'm going to go with the worst episode from my favorite show as a kid, Spongebob. The episode in question is the "special" Atlantis Squarepantis, this episode was hyped for weeks with a slew of advertisements but every single one of them forgot to mention one thing, the episode is a musical. Now I don't have any problems with musicals but the music for the episode is horribly written and preformed. And for a bigger kick in the balls David Bowie was a guest voice actor and he is the only character that doesn't sing. How the hell do you get David fuckig Bowie for your musical episode and don't have him sing at all?! Are you mental? Well judging by the story the writers probably are seeing as the best they could do for the special is rip off Willy Wonka and devise quite possibly the most idiotic backstory for a civilization I have ever heard, the Atlantians are actually Alians who travel on foot millions of light years for a bubble, that's right a god damn bubble.

For MLP I'll say my least favorite episode is show stoppers because of how oblivious the CMC are to the fact that they are all good at each other's jobs much causes them to create one of the worse musical preformences I have ever seen, I know it's supposed to be bad but I found it so awkward I actually had to skip over it when I first watched the episode.

Let's see...

Star Trek - "Spock's Brain." Aliens Steal Spock's Brain. This just gets the place for being incredibly stupid.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Oooo A tie between "The Neutral Zone" where they abandon the possible investigation and first look into the Borg to preach about the awesomely awesome ideals of the federation. Nominated for being pretentious. "The Naked Now," Where a teenager is able to take over the ship because all the people (plus the fucking ANDROID) get drunk because of quantum anomaly, nominated for the presence of Wil Wheaton (And being really stupid). or "Code of Honor" where the one and ONLY all black planet is a tribal state who kidnaps Tasha Yar to get her to marry their leader (progressive...), nominated for possibly being the most racist episode I've ever seen.

Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (...I-I really like Star Trek) - "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." In this episode we find out that Corzon Dax died of Snu Snu, and Worf teams up with the Westboro Baptist Church to destroy the pleasure planet. Placed for being Insufferable.

Farscape (Star Trek With Muppets) - "Jeremiah Crighton", Betrays Farscape as a concept by giving us a kind of pat story where Crighton basically acts like a dick for an hour. But in true farscape fashion, unlike the rest of this list this does have redeeming qualities, Rigel actually rises to the top in this. Placed because Crighton is such an unbelievable dick whistle.

Stargate: SG1 (Star Trek with a Wormhole) - The entire tenth season. Placed because it wasn't named Farscape: SG1.

Old Series Doctor Who (Star Trek's Progenator) - "The Twin Dillema." The Doctor Chokes out his companion and then tries to live as a hermit. Placed because Colin Bakers coat haunts me in the quiet nights.

New Series Doctor Who (Star Trek with a Bobby Box) - "Daleks In Manhatten/Evolution of the Daleks." A Dalek Shoves a Man up his ass, becomes an Eltrich Abomonation, and Lightening Transfers Time Lord DNA. Placed because just thinking about it--0fpqpohdfa FATAL ERROR. REBOOT POSTER.

That's pretty much what it was like in the book though in Bran's first chapter. It's basically there to give that glimmer into the vast world that lies ahead, although I do agree that it's not exactly fast paced. If I had to think of an episode from one of my favourite tv shows, it would probably be the episode of Game of Thrones in season two where Jon runs of with Yigritte. Theres so much awesome Qhorin dialogue that's missed out on and it's just really disappointing. I didn't dislike the dialogue or anything, it just made everything that happens to Qhorin that less significant. They could have honestly replaced him with a talking pumpkin and it would have changed anything. Captcha: What For, that is exactly the question I was asking captcha.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with slow paced and talky parts to establish a universe. I just felt that most of how the show did it required me to care about the characters beforehand.

And while I do enjoy most of season 2 of Game of Thrones, the plotline of
Jon Snow with the wildlings or whatever we call them irritates me to no end. Mainly because I think every one of the wildling characters with him are insufferably annoying to me.

It had a pretty good solid idea behind, showing the events of the series in the eyes of a total stranger, but something went wrong, something went very, very wrong indeed.

I've been watching some 6th Doctor serials for the first time and I still can't bring myself to watch the Twin Dilemma. Hell, I watched the entire 7th Doctor's run. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Most of the Ferengi centric episodes of DS9, and let's not forget Move Along Home. As for SG1 it really started to decline by the 7th season and accelerated throughout the remainder of the show's run with a few good episodes here and there.

Edit: I forgot DS9's He Who is Without Sin.

Picking the absolute worst though would be really, really, hard to do. Especially seeing as some of the worst ones like say "Evangelion" at least had reasons for them outside of the series. In that case I believe it was Gainex promising the creator a lot more episodes than he actually got, among other things, and so he was left with a bunch of subplots and such that just had to die unresolved, and then needed to rush the ending so it came accross as a lot more "WTF" than it probably would have if he had worked into it. The OVAS/Movies being more of the same allegedly by way of protest, and also because even with their combined run time, he still didn't have what he needed to do it right. I have no idea if this was worked out better in the remake though since I haven't seen it.
Actually, they ran out of funding, not out of episodes.

the movies did not have this same problem.

Doctor Who - Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks.

Seriously as both an old Who and Nu Who fan, this is the only set episodes that made me considering dropping the show.... well it was the worst until End of Time.

Damn, you and I have VERY similar tastes in TV. Jeremiah Crichton is considered the worst Farscape episode by a lot of the people involved in the show as well, the DVD commentary is pretty good. It really is a stinker of an episode all around.

Outlaw Star: Final episode. Whole series is amazing, and they fuck it up with the worst ending in anime history. YES WORSE THAN EVANGELION. At least NGE's original ending was amazing to watch stoned and listening to Dark Side of the Moon.

Blood+: There was a couple, but the birthday party one was pretty bad.

Soul Eater: Any episode with Excalibur. Nuff said.
ok gotta ask what part of the ending of outlaw star you didnt like cause if it was the after the battle part, they were suposed to get another like 12 episodes but the studio didnt like the rateings they got in japan so scraped it.

OT:
the episode of vandred were they go down to the sand planet and the sand is alive. it was so out of place in an overall good space fight anime.

also the entire series SD gundam........the horror......THE HORROR!
