I’m in the minority but I rather liked this one
In any other YT community this would be enough for the torches and pitchforks to start to be handed out......I'm joking of course.
This one of my very few E tier episodes, because of how it brutalizes Geordi's character. I literally pretend this episode doesn't exist. Damn shame too because the premise has great potential, who doesn't love a murder mystery?
When an episode this lame follows "Ship In A Bottle", it tells you that having to pump out 26 episodes a season causes episodes like "Aquiel". This is why streaming shows are so consistently good. Fewer episodes with the same resource as the old model.
I prefer this style. Yes, you get more stinkers, but you also get more room to experiment and flesh out the characters.
I gave it a C, because even though it's close to a D now....I remember being really surprised when first watching it as a kid "WHOA IT'S THE DOG!!!?!?!!"... So because of that I gotta give it a C.
This is one of the few episodes I will skip every time if I am watching TNG again. It's bottom ten in the entire series. It kind of solidifies that Geordi is a mediocre character as well. It's the moment where I realized it's probably not going to get any better for him from a writing standpoint. I just had no expectations for him as a character going forward.
Awful episode
At some point could anyone have said... let's not make Geordi fall in love with a virtual representation of a real woman by accessing her private information?
One S is crazy… that was probably Josh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
D tier only because I am philosophically opposed to removing any of the episodes from canon. Quality-wise, this ranks for me in the bottom 5 of the series and in the bottom 15 - 20 of the entire franchise.
This is "The Thing" but for children.........and then theres Geordi thinking hes got a girl..... its bad. (ez D)
Poor Georgi always thinks he's got a girl.
I wish the dog from Acquiel had scattered the game board pieces from Move Along Home- two E-Tiers in the same week
Only the creepy atmosphere with sets and score keep this from an E for me. Barely makes a D.
I LOVE when people try to defend episodes like this, or go so far as to say they like it🤣. It's so funny to me what some will decide to lie about.
D. It's not unwatchable. But it botches everything it tries to do. Uninteresting Klingons that ruin the Klingon red herring. Geordi watching very long videologs with lots of boring dialog. Unconvincing special effects. The entire episode feels... off.
Can't give it an E, when I remember the really bad ones from Season 1, but definitely a D. Poor Geordi can't catch a break.
This is worse than every season 1 episode imo
Total turd of an episode, and a wasted opportunity of a good mystery hook. Poor Jordi...
Terrible!
I hated this episode when it aired 32 years ago Upon re-watching it this last week, I find I like it even less! It’s just a Trainwreck of an episode and it doesn’t engage your attention
E. This was the second time I've watched this episode and the first since it aired. I've tuned it out every single other time. It's not even campy bad, just bad bad.
I can't put E because I like the idea of this lighthouse in space murder mystery... but really, it shoulda been one of our main characters, coulda had a really creepy, tension-filled horror atmosphere going on.
C its just filler
C for me. It's nit bad but it's not that great either.
Yeah just bad. I like the idea of remaking 'Laura' as an episode but the execution was terrible. Poor Geordi! He's just doomed for romance plots.
Solid E for ‘Eeeh do I have to watch this?’
D for literal dog shit
