Star Trek fans have long forgiven the series for its sins. For those of you who don’t know, Star Trek can be and has been rather silly when it comes to its storylines. It is a series that takes place in the far reaches of space, involving enterprising explorers who meet new alien creatures and endure strange, new situations. It’s a promising premise, but the only problem is that the imagination behind Star Trek occasionally exceeds the budget. The creators of the show have had to be very creative in ordဣer to simulate new aliens and futuristic devices.

Unfortunately, these attempts don’t always hit the mark, and the results of these failures are quite hilarious. I have never laughed so much at a television show as I have laughed while watching Star Trek. The thing that makes it so funny is that the show isn’t trying to be comedic. These shows are often trying to portray serious moments, but they just miss the mark. Of course, any Star Trek fan wil🐠l ig🐟nore these moments in favor of watching the show.

But the best Star Trek fan will love the show even more for these moments. Even the most embarrassing part of a storyline will endear the episode to fans. We look back on these episodes fondly and talk about how ridiculous they were and how little they contribute to the show’s canon. So while the creators of these episodes might be more than a bit embarrassed by the episode, fans will always appreciate that awkwardness. Read on if you want to remember some of the worst/best Star Trek storylines we have ever seen.

25 What Good Is A Brain?𒁏 🦩

Any sane and regular person would assume that a brain is necessary for living. If you were to lose your brain, you would have a very small chance of survivi𒅌ng the situation. And by “lose your brain,” I mean that your entire brain is just gone from your head.

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Spock in the Star Trek episode “Spock’s Brain.” Spock’s b🌠rain is stolen from his cranium, but by the end of the episode, he was fine and wal♏king around like nothing was wrong.

24 🧜 Data Cowboy ༒

When Worf decides to spend some time on the holodeck with his son, they engage in a Wild West simulation. Unfortunately, Data was busy working on the ship’s systems, so when things go wrong, all of the characters in Woꦛrf’s simulation begin to look like Data.

Seeing the usually stoic android as numerous Wild West characters was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. At least it was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen aside from some more of these other Star Trek episodes.

23 Take Me Out To The Ball Game ✤

via: io9.gizmodo.com

I like it when my TV shows about space travel take place in space and🌞 involve space-related adventures. I get a little bit confused when they involveܫ baseball. Captain Sisko and an old rival of his decide to play a game of baseball between their crews.

The whole episode is devoted to Sisko’s crew learning how to play the game.

They even get their own uniforms when they play. Deep Space Nine was never my favorite Star Trek 𝄹series, but I have to admit, this episode made me like the show a tad more.

22 🥂 Strange Phaser S🐭ettings

via: trekmovie.com

I thought I knew how phasers worked. Since the classic Star Trek series, phasers have sent a beam of light through someone, and it ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤🍌⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeither stuns them or offs them. That is classic phaser usage.

However, in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Riker and Picard use their phasers to make a man’s head explode. True, the man was infected by a parasite that was planning to tak✨e over humanoid life-forms. But I hardly think that crime warranted a blasted noggin.

21 Save🔴 The Wha🐎les

Time travel has played a part in many a Star Trek episode. It is often used confusingly and awkwardly, but it makes for some humorous times. In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the crew oꦆf the Enterprise has to go back in time in order to save the whales.

It makes for a touching story about protecting the environment, but this is the crew of the starship Enterprise we’re talking about here. They’ve faced off against Klingons in the past. And yet here they are in this movie carting around Humpback whales.

20 When Hippies Invade ꧒

via: imdb.com

Hippies suck eggs in every galaxy. I’m just kidding. But it was a bit of a trip to see the Hippie movement take place in the futuristic world of Star Trek. In the e𝓰pisode “The Way to Eden,” a gro꧃up of hippie-like people beam aboard the Enterprise and almost take over the entire ship.

That wasn’t the worst thing about this episode.

The cringe-factor came from watching these rainbow-bedazzled persons interacting and s🌠inging songs with the crew members of the Enterpr⛄ise.

19 🏅 The Secret Thoughts Of Barclay

via: memory-alpha.wikia.com

The holodeck just screams bad idea. It causes so many problems in The Next Generation that it’s a wonder that it is not considered 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a villain of the show. One particularly embarrassing moment occurred when an engineer used the holodeck to simu🎐late interactions with the crew members of the ship.

He had a pretty ripe𒆙 imagination when it came to🎐 how Commander Deanna Troi would act around him in the simulation. I wanted to sink into my couch over how humiliating the whole situation was.

18 Doctor Crusher's Ghost Fixation 𝕴

via: imsogladmysufferingamusesyou.blogspot.com

If you want to talk about horrible Star Trek episodes, look no further than “Sub Rosa.” Beverly Crusher attends her grandmother’s funeral on her home planet, and while she’s there, she falls in love with this ghost man who ends up being an alien who possജessed her grandmother while simultaneousl♏y romancing her.

This alien tries to do the same to Dr. Crusher.

If you’re confused about the plot, don’t worry. You’re not alone. I’ve watched it more than five times anꦦd still can’t understan🌜d what the heck is happening.

17 🔯 Quark's Parts Get Rearranged

via: trekmate.org.uk

Remember how when you were in school, in order to get you to understand compassion, your teachers would tell you to put yourself in someone else’s shoes? Deep Space Nine takes that to a whole other level.

In order to help his mom, Quark has to change his male parts to female parts in order to take over her job temporarily while she’s out of commission. This experience teaches Quark to respect females more than he had previously.

16 🤡 Kickin' It Greek Style 🃏

via: ex-astris-scientia.org

Ancient Greek culture is seen as the height of Western sophistication in the past. Multiple movies have been made depicting what that culture may have been like. The original Star Trek tried its hand at that as well, and we never want🧜 to see it aga⛦in.

Kirk and Spock wore brightly colored robes that made my eyes hurt. And Spock eventually had to pick up a harp and start singing. Why can’t my space 🐻shows just be about space? Why do they𓆏 have to dawdle in the past?
