“Move Along Home” is a masterpiece; it’s the kind of bad episode that’s really fun to watch.

Bashir screams with his eyes closed and his back against the wall at the TOS episode “The Alternative Factor”, TNG episode “Code of Honor”, pretty much any VOY episode focused on Chakotay, ENT episode “These are the Voyages”, and LD episode “a mathematically perfect redemption.” He then smiled weirdly at TOS “Spock’s Brain”, TAS “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”, TNG “The Game”, DS9 “Move Along Home”, VOY “Threshold”, and ENT “A Night in Sickbay”.

But yeh, I think it’s really stupid to dismiss a show based on its first season.
