YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S3E5 "The Bonding"

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: Jeremy refers to his pet calico cat, Patches, as "him." Because the calico effect is caused by two mismatched fur color genes, and fur color for cats is carried on the X chromosome, calicos are Always Female... unless the cat in question has Klinefelter Syndrome (also known as XXY) or if they are a chimera (where 2 embryos merge in the womb). Whether or not this was intentional is debatable.
• Anvilicious: This episode isn't the least bit subtle about the way it discusses death and grieving, but then again, subtlety doesn't quite lend itself to topics like those.
• Stoic Woobie: Poor Jeremy is very obviously bottling up a lot of pain.
• Tear Jerker: Multiple candidates here. Wesley reminiscing with Beverly about his late father, as she tries not to cry. Worf overcome with anger and regret while Troi tries to console him. The capper, however, is Picard delivering the news to Jeremy.
