View Full Version : What episode do YOU forget about the easiest?

Well? What episode is so forgettable, that you could as soon never watch it again? For, me that'd be "Heroes". It just seemed like 2 much of a rip off of the Fantastic 4, it wasn't even funny. Though, the Terry and Matt part in the store where Matt said "Batman Rips" and Terry said "Ya think? Lets go get a ice cream. My treat" "What's the trick?" . But, anyway, yeah, for me, "Heroes" could be forgotten easily.

It's like a love episode.

I liked "Heroes". I love Fantastic Four. I still liked the episode, even if it seemed like a total rip off.
Joyride was an episode I could totally forget. The plot was really lame and I just didn't enjoy it.

Joyride and Rats were equally forgettable. But I never liked "Golem" either. The wimpy-guy-gets-revenge story has been done to death and I don't think it was done very well in "Golem." They tried to make Willie a sympathetic villian, but I just found him pathetic and annoying. That one seriously under-whelmed me.
I liked the second Willie Watt ep much better. The ghost stuff was garbage. But superpowered Willie was a better villian. And the message, that prison,reform school, etc, only produces more dangerous people, is a worthy one. "Here's one thing I learned in Juvi. Batman. You don't kick a man when he's down, you crush him."

Test driving my new I.D. I got tired of being me, and with the new boards it seemed like a good time to try something new.....
If by "forgettable" you mean: an episode that is so vapid that you forget it even exists, then "Where's Terry?" and "The Winning Edge" immediately leap to mind. (Or is that, immediately don't leap to mind?)
If you mean: an episode that you wish you could forget exists, then "Speak No Evil" (if I wanted a Capt. Planet episode I'd watch "Capt. Planet") and "Plague" are ones I'd just as soon see disappear into a very small black hole.

There have been some clunker's havent there? I guess the one's I forget or would like to forget are Terry's Friend Dates A Robot, maybe that Speak No Evil episode, Untouchable as well, maybe a couple more I've forgotten.
The only saving graces of Rats was Mad Stan and Dana, so I'll keep that off my poop list. And Heroes was pretty bad, but I think the ending was nice, kinda touching, so that stays off as well.

Rats is probably the worst episode I've seen in BB. An entire episode of Dana not the greatest thing. She's not horrible but I don't think she really adds much to BB. I'm surpised that Shriek didn't like Once Burned. Yes its a love story but that doesn't make it bad. Batman is all about failed relationships.
yeah Rats...
if it wasn't a cartoon I would say that she is a bad actor in a bad ep.

"Heroes" was both a mediocre episode and a plagiarism lawsuit waiting to happen. "Speak No Evil", with its Captain Planet-ish enviro-preachy tone and its Gorilla Grodd-like villain/hero (depending on how you see Fingers), is a close second.
The Mad Hatter

Either episode with Willie Watt. Neither of them handled the "former victim of bullying becomes a bully himself" very well, although I probably would have been easier on Revenant if Gotham Golem never happened. (Revenant used pretty much the same plot as Golem)
I've manage to forget most of Rats... though the introduction of good ole Mad Stan will never be dislodged from my brain.

Sentries of the Last Cosmos
ugh...
I beat myself with a mallet just to try and forget the wretched feelings that episode brought on. Rats did have Mad Stan, (who could forget him piledriving terry to the floor?) and whether you liked Golem or not, Willie Watt proved to be a memorable character. Why else would people dislike him? But with Sentries....was there a redeeming moment in this episode? Or has everybody erased this episode from their consciousness already?
In the words of the comic book guy "Worst episode EVER!"

Hey:
I thought the episode "Heros" was a very pointless episode and I never want to see it again, but another episode that I didn't really care for would have to be "Eggbaby". To me that was not even a Batman episode that episode reminded me of some little kiddie show that they would show on some other network.

I liked Sentries a lot actually. I wonder why so many fans didn't enjoy it.. ok, it's basically aimed at Starwars fans, and I'm a big one, so it explains it all. Still, it's well written compared with so many other eps, and the references to SW are very very nice.

Definitely Heroes. While it was a good stab at how 'heroes' that are given powers aren't really heroes (Pretty much the Marvel universe they were harping on there) it still didn't fit in the Batman world, especially that spaceship battle over the city, that was outta nowhere.
James Harvey
05-03-2001, 01:49 PM
I think EGGBABY. It was too lighthearted and "funny" even for a Batman Beyond episode. I will concur that thevery last scene was worth a good chuckle, but the rest was garbage. Also, SENTRIES wasn't all that swell, and the 2nd part of CURSE OF THE KOBRA was a big dissapointment. And HEROES? (Vomits) That wasn't good either.

Rats, and Hero's where so bad that I don't think I'm going to forget them
Anyway, as for forgetable, probably most of the mid second season episodes.
Blight

To me, the most boring and forgettable episode was "Revenant". That was so horrible, and the whole ghost thing was just pathetic. I liked Willie much better as a skinny nerd.
See ya!

Rats wasn't that bad, at least not compared to CURSE OF THE KOBRA. And I admit that the end of TERRY'S FRIEND DATE'S A ROBOT was kind of lame (when she exploded b/c he just wanted to be friends), but over all I thought it to be really funny.
Top 5 Worst Episodes
5- EARTH MOVER :(
4- THE CALL
3- CURSE OF THE KOBRA (the 1 hour max Crapathon) :mad:
2- THE LAST RESORT
1- SPEEK NO EVIL :eek:

Max Crapathon. So -- you don't like Max? I agree, the episode should have focused more on Terry and Cobra, and ditch Max and the dinoplan. Another lame arse episod eis indeed the 'Captain Planet in Disguise ep' SPEAK NO EVIL.
James
05-05-2001, 09:39 PM
'Zeta'.
I hate episodes which feel like their only motivation is to introduce a new character for an entirely different series. (Gary Seven episode from Star Trek.. anyone?). Plus the story was soo done before! Max had a role in it way too large for her stupid face. Sorry, I'm getting insulting.
Quite like rats.
Eggbaby, IMO, was a little nugget in a downwardly spiralling second series...
BB had a lot of cheesy, irrelevant, goofy stories, plus, as SJJ said, alotta new character introductions. It's really a shame that they weren't developed enough and that some only lasted one episode. Instead they used Max as a kind of wannabe-Lois-Lane-get-into-trouble-and-Terry-you- need-to-rescue-me-too-while-you're-saving-the-world.

Thanks Fish!
Yeah, Max was a terribly bad move. She did not help...
However it did make her come-uppance ever the more sweet in 'Where's Terry?' (A title most fitting to series 2 if re-altered to read "Where's Wayne?").
Score one to the old guy!

It's weird that you guyz dispise EGG BABY so much, b/c alot of people claim that it's their favorite episode. I'm not one of them, but I wouldn't enclude it in the same catagory with the other bad episodes. Ma Mayhem and her sons reminded me of THE BEAGLE BOYS from DUCKTAILS.
Good/Decent Episodes (random order)
REVENANT
RATS
JOYRIDE (R U mental? This one rocked. It was chock full of Jokerz)
GOLEM (GIANT ROBOTS!) :)
WHERE'S TERRY
TERRY'S FRIEND DATES A ROBOT (funny)
SENTRIES OF THE LAST COSMOS
WINNING EDGE (remember when the guy had the slappers all over him and he screamed, "I'LL KILL YOU!" heh heh...that was great)
HEROS didn't make it on the list, but it's not on the BAD EPISODE LISTeither. If they were all hit with the same laser, why did they all develope different powers?

What's weird is i was just remembering an ep of THE MASK and they took off of the Fantastic Four also. But hardly anyone watched that show, so i guess they let it slide.

Obviously, there's one episode that is the MOST forgettable, since EVERYONE is forgetting to mention it. I do remember it dealt with Jokerz, and the opening sequence had a gang of Jokerz mugging a guy in an arial elevator in before Batman broke them up, but I don't even remember the title or the plot. Anyone know which one I'm talking about? THAT is definitely the most forgettable episode, because everyone's forgotten it so far!:)

Sounds like "Hidden Agenda." The one with Terminal, where Max figures out Terry is Batman?
Unless, I'm getting it confused with another one....

The one we must all wish they'd never made..... the one that brought Max into THE secret... which in turn pretty much kicked Bruce out of the rest of the season....
That girl has a lot to answer for......... I hoped they locked her away for alooooong time at the end of 'Where's Terry?' :D

Actually, I rather liked that one, even if it did give us Max. It gave us the surprisingly complex Terminal (another villian driven to perfidy by a woman: his mommy! :eek: ). His black-and-white greasepaint and blood-stained straightjacket ensemble ruled...and my favorite scene was when he substituted acid for the soap in the floor-cleaning droid.
Though it's a pity that stuff didn't hit Max....

Definately April Moon. The cheesy music (that totally didn't fit with the action), the badly staged fight scenes (though there were a couple of good parts if I remember correctly), the overall bad pacing of the episode.... I remember cringing and shaking my head every 30 seconds while watching. And luckily it'll be on again later this week, so I can torture myself once more :).
I, for one, loved Joyride, and liked every one of the other episodes mentioned in this thread so far. Except for both The Curse of the Cobra episodes, which I didn't like at the time. I'd love to watch them again though.
