Seriously, this was soooo over the top. What were they thinking?!
“Hey, remember that racist episode with women-stealing space africans?” “Yeah.” “Let’s make more of that.”
It’s one of my favorite episodes because of that, are you guys actually offended by it? I always felt it was just a humorous episode with a very endearing stereotype.
Not offended, just sore eyeballs from all the eyerolls this episode causes.
It also has a Yankee doodle farmer tasting klingon death ale and loving it
Mine too! I don't understand why people don't like it.
Not to mention it is believable. Yeah, maybe some things are too much but those are tools used to create emotion.
Not the lest that Brenna Odell was my childhood crush.
This is the internet
This episode was controversial even before the internet.
I just through it in the pile with Code of Honor as an episode that should have been TOS. Honestly, S1 of TNG can be pretty rough.
