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
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.

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take it as a complement on how much has changed for the better since then that a then very progressive show now is outdated
