    That episode was about a transporter mishap that turned Keiko, Ro and Guinan physically into 12-year-olds but mentally they were still adults. At the time I thought it was pretty lame to make anything “pedo” out of that situation. Keiko was an adult woman, married to O’Brien, presumably having a normal amount of sex, and suddenly she has a lot smaller body. How the two of them coped with this in their relationship was between them IMO. But people sure did go to town on it. One writer called him PedO’Brien, also calling a scene “particularly cringe-worthy” where Guinan and Ro decided to embrace their inner child and jump up and down on a bed. I dunno what’s wrong with people.

      There was a Stargate SG-1 episode where Jack O’Neill got regressed back to a 14 year old (actually he was cloned by an rouge Asguard) and eventually they released him into a public high school with all his adult memories intact. A bit problematic, now that he’s an adult man in a child’s body presumably banging other teenagers.

        Weird that they would invalidate his existing high school diploma.

        Another weird one is when writers think it makes sense for vampires who are hundreds of years old to spend their days in high school because they have teenage bodies. And they’re immortal so presumably they are doomed to spend eternity in high school. What kind of hellish fate is that?
