The Will Matheson"I could write a better show than that!" Award: Goes to the season's worst episode, awarded at the end of every season. Also known as the WMICWABSTT Award!
The My-Uncle's-Niece-Who-Saw-A-Bad-Episode-And-Never-Watched-Trek-Again Award: Goes to the current worst episode on this site, will be issued as soon as a really rotten episode airs and I review it. Also known as the MUNWSABEANWTA Award!
