S1: Episode 18: Picard is Petty and Insults an Entire Civilization Because They Called him Ugly; Starfleet Has a KGB Officer in Charge of Terraforming

Start Trek

Well if y'all have watched that documentary on Biosphere 2, you know how this episode ends. If you haven't, here's what you should know. Sealing 4 people up in a terraforming base that could be on that "Tiny House" show is a bad idea, especially when one of the actors moonlights as...a Bond KGB antagonist! Just to be clear though he's not in the KGB in the Star Trek Universe. Anyway, these terraformers really suck at their jobs and are killing off the native population of the planet, which is sooo not Prime Directive of them.
Crusher touches a ball of electricity and suddenly knows science, which is a reach and really incites anger in me as she struggled with unfolding blankets in earlier episodes, but what do I know, I don't magically have PhD level knowledge in unrelated fields to medicine.
Picard and crew are called "ugly bags of mostly water" and he has no chill and calls the alien species that the terraformers have accidentally been massacring for decades "microbrains" which is really freaking rude. They don't go to your house, kill your friends, and mock your height, Picard! Rude!
Featuring: Crusher being fed science knowledge through an earpiece! A rant on why the film Prometheus is actually awesome and gets an unfair rep! A private bathroom for the programmers! A mullet bearing scientist who just wants to be with his one true love, a laser! Someone with a bigger ego than Riker?! And a set I bet they built for less than $500!
