She was cool with fucking the brain slug when it was inside the man she describes as her brother, though.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

I just finished watching this one yesterday actually, it annoys me so much that I struggle to watch it. Having seen it, and knowing it has absolutely no bearing on any plot, the smart thing to do would be to skip it, and yet I just slowly trudged through it anyway.
Could have been an awesome episode, but wasn't IMO. They could have even confined it to Dr. Crusher's own preferences, but instead it was a statement about humans as a whole.
3/10 episode for me, tops. And a large part of getting a 3 instead of a 1 is the introduction of the trill as a species.
it really WAS good until that moment on the end when she just got so pissed off. and then that monologue about how "maybe sOmEDaY hUMaNs wiLl bE oPeN MiNdED eNoUgH" like it had never occurred to her that sometimes Trill are female. Or she just assumed that she we was going to outlive multiple hosts and homeboy would be wearing a new skinsuit every week. do you know how silly that would be? if they had to priority-mail themselves new hosts across the galaxy every couple of months or years
Yeah it ruined the episode for me, took away everything that happened before and boiled it down to a "human" issue rather than a "Dr. Crusher" issue.
Just a mistake of an episode.
Also please remember that this episode was penned on the 80s, 40 years ago, and to say that attitudes have changed a bit is a huge understatement
If anything, take it as a complement on how much has changed for the better since then that a then very progressive show now is outdated
I think the outcome is probably closer to a real Human reaction than any progressive agenda would have you hope to believe. Not every story is a lesson on how to be better. Some stories are just about the characters.
If my beautiful wife were suddenly turned into a dude, I'm not sure my marriage would last much longer. This isn't me being shitty. This is me being human.
sort of? I'm more impressed by everything I saw up until that point. the clumsiness of the show is a credit to how people in the 80's ans 90's were trying to be forward thinking for the time against the popular culture.
this meme I made is probably overstating my reaction. you've got to understand I'm making a joke about the sudden shift in stance in a single scene and not actually bemoaning the ethics of the writing. the ethics are mostly good.
