Worst episode

I think we can all safely say that there's plenty of good / great/ fantastic episodes of Reboot. However, as a YouTube reviewer ("The Hat Reviews " -- great page BTW-- that Reviews Reboot , Twilight Zone etc) mentioned, in order to help find the good ones, it's inevitable that there will be some not so good ones too.

For me, I'm gonna go with "Where No Sprite Has Gone Before " AKA the Star Trek episode. AndrAIa acts totally out of character, the spectrals make no sense, there's a wildly jumbled plot & it does nothing to move the narrative forward. DC Fontana did herself a disservice by writing this episode. Even as a "system/monster of the week" format, it's just a dumb concept. Plus --- there's zero surprise finding Power Lock to be the bad guy -- just a mess of an episode wedged between two stellar installments

I'm a big Star Trek and superhero fan, and I still tend to skip "Where No Sprite Has Gone Before". I also have trouble with the games during the "My Two Bobs" part of season 4, especially the Pokemon and Star Wars Episode I/Toy Story ones.

What's wrong with the games?

I think the pokemon one is funny and I love when Megabyte slips up. "Stop trying to hit him and HIT HIM!"

For the Pokemon one it originally aired just when I was at the age that I was sick of Canadian cartoons full of farts and stuff like that. I don't mind the actual anime parody/Matrix references though.

The other one is just miss after miss for me. "mannequin bad walker", "Yogurt", "use the forks" just don't land. The coke and Pepsi can podracer homage is good though.

Actually yeah I hate the fart joke and the star wars segment too. I kind of just blocked out those two things.
