It was cool that they were wiling to tackle such a social issue back then, but I remember the episode being insanely heavy-handed with it's message.

Besides, Riker's gal wasn't much to look at.

It kinda sorta implies that the brainwashing thing at the end is a ok and super duper.

Frakes wanted the alien to be played by a dude. That would have been way intense for the early 90's,

It's been a while since I've seen the episode but I seem to recall Riker being heartbroken and Picard being sympathetic but ultimately like, "Yo, dat Prime Directive, son."

Guess it's time to bust out the box set.

I would love to actually hear him saying like that. Stewart could actually make it work.

Of course he could. No one delivers a line with more gravitas than P. Stew

So a new spoof trek show is gonna get made before the actual new trek show gets to air it seems.

Word is MacFarlane is a big Trek fan and pitched an idea to Paramount to make the new show. When they passed, he spun it into this.
