I actually thought this was the best episode. Not enough lizard sex scenes in star trek.
Strange New Worlds has you covered.

My vote goes to that episode in season 1 of TNG where they're fighting black people on like a jungle gym.
Either that or just...all of Sub Rosa.
Ah yes the African planet. Real TOS reject episode vibes.
Shut up Wesley!

Neelix and Kes when Kes is essentially in heat. That episode was so gross
Right, Kes is like 4 years old then
More like 2, actually. 4 would have been the normal time for her race, but some electrical storm nonsense kicked it off early for her temporarily.
I dont think that episode is that weird overall. They wanted to address the reproductive cycle of a very short lived race and also have a "what does it mean to be a parent" moral lesson.
"Hold hands with me to breed" is some pretty mild sex talk, honestly, especially for the "go fast and have lizard sex" writers.

All Kess and/or Neelix episodes belong on that list. Can't stand either character, although Kess is still way worse than Neelix
The hardest thing for me to come to terms with is that, while I hated Neelix while watching the show, I think if I'd actually been on Voyager, I would have really liked him. He's super friendly, and just wants to help, and makes all these crazy foods that would be fun to try. (Kess stuff not withstanding)

Almost any scene in the decon chamber on the NX-01.
Haha, i have prepared you some gellllll put it on while I watch with my bats..... Lol
I'm going to say any space battle scene made since 2009.
From TOS up through Enterprise, you could follow the space battles. "This ship went this way and fired phasers but it only hit the ship's shields, then they fired back..." Camera movements were smooth and comfortable, you could see and tell what is going on.
J. J. Abrams shows up and all of a sudden we've got panicky Saving Private Ryan cam and there's just nine layers of beam spam on the screen. Everyone is machine gunning everyone from every which way. It's got George Lucas syndrome. "Put more special effect bullshit on the screen. More. MORE. MOOOOOREEEEE!"

The one where Dr Crusher has sex with a ghost
Star Trek: Picard, when the Borg wake up and the Romulans just vacuum them out. In that moment the Cube should have automatically teleported them back inside. If the teleporters were down for some reason, the remaining Drones would just happily continue working in hard vacuum and proceed to assimilate the shit out of the Romulans. What happened was an uncalled for nerf of the Borg.
The whole idea of "let's make Seven be a miniqueen for a second, without consequences for her psyche, and without letting her make sane choices like rescuing the XBs" was completely idiotic.

Whenever Riker meets eyes with a female humanoid alien earlyish in an episode, you know exactly what the B plot is gonna be
Tasha Yar dies due to the Exxon Valdez.
DS9. The Dominion is about to come through the wormhole with hundreds or thousands of ships and the prophets are like "omg Sisco you can't have a fucking war here, man, we need you later on" and Sisco was "fuck you, I do whatever I want, do your magic, I don't care, it's man's business" so Sisco wont retreat.
and then what happened?
The whole fucking Dominion fleet just disappeared, poof! like Sisco used some kind of cheat code.
fuck that.
anyway, it's not the scene itself that was bad, but man. that was so freaking cheap I think the whole show changed in me a little bit after that. still amazing series, tho

When the later-retconned-to-be-mirror-universe-because-too-prestige-tv-edgy Lorca character cited Elon Musk as some great scientific hero. 
The "Allamaraine" song scene from DS9's Move Along Home.

In fact that whole episode.
I just rewatched that one, and I disagree. It was uncomfortable at first, b/c it seemed so hoakey. The crew repeatedly hurt themselves trying to cross the room. Then the point was to observe the child closely. Dax was the one who finally got it. It was a commentary on observation/cognitive bias.
I like that episode actually... Lol.
All of Star Trek: Picard.
You mean you didn't like the series where they made friends with the Borg, and set up their friend as Queen of the Borg, but the very next time they encountered the Borg, everyone was scared and knew they were the enemy, and they could only defeat them with the Power of Nostalgia?

As characters I hate all Crushers and episodes dedicated for them.
...but there are episodes worse than those.

When Spock fails to get laid because he's a half-breed.
Janeway and Paris making lizard babies.
The scene where Riker slops some eggs on a hot plate and Pulaski swoons over his technique.
In a galaxy with replicators, who would actually still know how to cook eggs (other than Sisko's dad)?
