[TNG] Liaisons

[TNG] Season 7, Episode 2: Liaisons

Rating: 2

Wait, is this a Voyager episode? What’s happening? Why is this so boring? Since it’s season seven, it woulda been nice if maybe the crew figured out something was up with these diplomats or… some kind of twist on the thing we’ve seen so many times. Or maybe if the idea of these aliens that look pretty human but are actually super different – to the point that love, pleasure, and anger are totally foreign to them – was used in some way other than a plot twist and some dull high jinks. But no. Just one of those episodes where we as viewers are way ahead of the plot and characters.

Notes:

Wardrobe department really went all out for this one -_-
Future-cake is like now-cake but broken.
Picard gets electrocuted by some rocks!
This guy got the easy job: to annoy Worf.
Did you ever expect a Big Gulp to be a kinda significant part of a Star Trek story?
This kid is the MVP of the episode.
Picard is stuck with this disguised ambassador er, regular lady that is not here to learn about love.
She needed to retrieve a device from the shuttle so she could go home after seven years of being stranded on this planet, but she confused “retrieve” with “shoot with a phaser” oops 😬
true love
Worf has had enough!
Picard too!
Anna: “Tell me about your love, or I’ll jump”
Picard: “Go ahead”
It’s always good having Picard call people out.
It was really this guy. He was just messin’ with him.
The 3 ambassadors were sent to explore the core aspects of humanity: love, anger, and desserts.
