TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

I feel like as this goes on, this list just devolves into random Star Trek species.

I mean, the whole point of the Antedians and Breen is they’re total meme species.

I personally feel like one of the ACTUAL worst species in the franchise is LD’s Dooplers. While overall, the eponymous episode is great, probably one of the series bests, the Dooplers felt out of place. Usually, Lower Decks has a standard of doing things that are both ridiculous and plausible by Star Trek logic - in other words, the cartoon dial is usually set at 6 or 7 (unless it’s a hallucination), but I feel like the Dooplers were a jarring turn to a 10.

On the contrary, Lower Decks made the Pakleds more than a one episode farce.

"Well, the Pakleds murdered the entire crew of the Solvang because everyone assumed they were a joke." - Captain Freeman

Throughout several episodes in the first two seasons of Enterprise, the Suliban draw Captain Archer into the Temporal Cold War. That sounds cool, but the execution of the Suilban falls flat, starting with their design. They look like they’re covered in cheap green foam, giving them an unsettling texture that reads cheaper than even the aliens of the original series.

Look how they massacred my boy

At least the Suliban villain, Silik, was pretty cool. Sometimes an enemy, sometimes a friend, always throwing shade 👌

D tier:

But the music is good.

Come on, listing terrible aliens and the Ligonians aren't at the top of the list?
