Day 07. Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Well, nothing has changed from my original answers, and as with the favourite episode question I don't recall particular episodes as bad, rather there are parts or ideas that might carry over a few episodes that are weak or don't work for me.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow: The entire first season was awful. The big bad, Vandal Savage, was for all the build up, very underwhelming, and the less said about the Hawk couple the better. The only three things that saved it at all for me was Captain Cold's and Heatwave's grouchy snarkiness and, on the bad guy side, Damien Darhk who turned out to be a lot funner since his time on "Arrow". Thankfully, the show saw where the cast's talents lay and lightened up, taking a much more crack approach to the stories in following seasons. Now, it's a fun, sometimes silly, but always entertaining.
Once Upon a Time: At one point I would have said the arc with Ursula and Cruella de Ville was the worst of the show as really it did nothing for the show in general, but then along came Season 7 and that was atrocious. Not only did it get rid of many of the characters I'd loved from previous seasons and completely change the three that they did keep, who just happen to be my three favourites, but with only a few exceptions, the new characters were weak and in a couple of instances by even weaker actors. They should not have been renewed for that final season and left it on a high.
Lucifer: There were a few weak episodes in Season 3, when the fact that it was a show about the Lord of Hell seemed to take a back seat to being a police procedural and Lucifer just not doing much. A lot of it felt like filler episodes. And of course, there was the ridiculous attempt at a love triangle between Lucifer, Chloe, and Cain. Plus not enough Maze! That said, the finale blew it out of the park! And if Netflix hadn't picked it up, just the fact that it is such a cliffhanger, I would probably name that as my least favourite episode despite that it is likely to become a favourite.
