TNG 2:18: “Up the Long Ladder”

I wonder how Colm felt about that episode. It was pretty racist.
Damn near quit the show.
did he really?!?
He was upset by the blatant Irish stereotypes, but backed down since he didn’t exactly have a lot of clout at the time. For DS9’s “If Wished Were Horses” he spoke out about having a leprechaun character which then changed to Rumpelstiltskin.

Ah, the episode where no one recalls the A plot, because the B plot is… well:

It’s something to do with…

The wildest part of the A plot is when they discover the clones, Riker takes one look, says “uh nope” and summarily vaporizes the lot of them.
Yeah, seems a bit extreme. Even with the Federation’s policy toward that sort of thing, he’s kinda just murdering.

As progressive as star trek was for its time, it still has its moments that make reasonable people shift uncomfortably in their seat.

Obligatory Fuck Rick Fucking Berman
