Well I disagree about "Explorers" but of course that's only my opinion. I just find it dull, dull, and ... what's that word ... tip of my tongue ... oh yeah: dull. It's slow and uninteresting. I mean, "Final mission" was boring but at least there was a point to it. I hated the way I thought "Oh finally something's happening!" when a Cardassian warship showed up, only to find it was a bloody bad-tempered escort! Boo!

As for "Profit and lace", well it's hard to choose any Ferengi story as a bad one, but I could be persuaded in the case of this one. It's almost as if the ghost of Gene Roddenberry was looking over the writer's shoulder, egging him on (I assume it was a guy; too lazy to check at the moment). Yeah, it could get chosen, certainly, though you would be possibly surprised at the amount of poor episodes I've discovered while making my list.
I'm actually a guy, Jenny Ondioline is just my favorite Stereolab song!

The writers of "Profit and Lace" are listed as none other than Ira Steven Behr (DS9's showrunner for seasons 4-7 and primary originator of the Dominion War arc) and Hans Beimler (a longtime collaborator and writer for both TNG and DS9). I guess that one was just a complete misfire on all counts!
