Star Trek: TNG Season 1 – Symbiosis

Link to StarTrek.com episode guide

This episode is all about drug addiction and the ethics of imposing our values onto another culture.  It’s really just a big message episode.  Not that it’s bad or anything, it just isn’t the most gripping or interesting episode they ever did.  I find these types of messages interesting as it gives the writers a chance to make a comment about current issues, but it’s really all there is to the show.

Cool Tech/Science:

• People that can control an electrical surge through their body.

Fun Stuff:

• Geordie gets to pick his own heading and chooses a system they’ve never been to before – heart of an adventurer!
