My vote goes to that episode in season 1 of TNG where they're fighting black people on like a jungle gym.
What's hilarious is the same writer got away with the same episode in SG1s first season just with Asians rather than Black people.
Self-plagiarism is the best form of plagiarism. Especially when you plagiarise a paper that got a D.
When the later-retconned-to-be-mirror-universe-because-too-prestige-tv-edgy Lorca character cited Elon Musk as some great scientific hero.
Neelix and Kes when Kes is essentially in heat. That episode was so gross
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.
Haha, i have prepared you some gellllll put it on while I watch with my bats..... Lol
The end of "Cogenitor", where Archer blames Trip for the death of Charles.
The scene where Riker slops some eggs on a hot plate and Pulaski swoons over his technique.
Klingons become quite popular after their rework in movies so from TNG onward you can see increasing amount of fanservice for them. Despite being archetypical enemy of the Federation, a warrior culture vs the peaceful one, we see central characters like Picard or Dax being basically honorable klingons, and there is not many klingons actively opposing that despite their society is xenophobic as fuck. Also they get whitewashed all the time with all the talk about honor, but nobody talk what is exactly happening with multiple species conquered by klingons, we never see them.
Interesting, thanks!
I was young and late to trek, so Voyager was the only one I watched religiously. I found Lana's Klingon episodes dull.
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.
People often say the Evil Spock episode was memorable, but why? I always thought it was so tropey. It just doesn't strike me as thought-provoking if you can sum up something with "a parallel universe decided to release an evil version of me with an evil beard and nobody else to come from a parallel universe and frame me aboard my ship". That would be more in line with Futurama, and ironically they handled the concept better.

My friend, where do you think the Beard of Evil trope came from?
That's like saying Once More, With Feeling is tropey because it's a Musical Episode.
Do people not watch Star Trek for the scientific concepts? Evil twins from a parallel universe just don't fit into that.
The Voyager episode Retrospect where Seven was, in her words, violated.
