TNG S4E16 Galaxy’s Child
This episode has so much cringe in it.
Geordie setting up a meeting and trying to make it into a date is a lot. Plus omitting that he had the computer summarize her files to resolve a critical crisis, while using the information he got from her file in discussing with her is not good.
Brahms does an excellent job letting him down and putting up firm boundaries.
But oh god, when she discovers the holodeck program, and then Geordie rant!
It’s tough to watch in a totally different way than the Quark Gender swap episode.
Omg, I forgot about the Quark episode. I’ve only seen DS9 once. Both those episodes strengthen my core with the extreme cringe they induce.
It had so much potential to demonstrate women’s issues, then someone went “let’s juxtapose the seriousness of rape with a Benny Hill esque scene Quark getting chased by a gross man in his underwear”
When you said “Quark Gender Swap” I assumed you were referring to when they put Quark’s head on a hologram of sexy Major Kira.
