YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S4E4 "Suddenly Human"

• Esoteric Happy Ending: Jono's return to the Talarians is treated as a mostly happy ending, but there are still a lot of problems left unresolved. Jono's grandmother, who was so happy to have the last of her line returned to her, must now be informed that he has turned his back on her. Jono will also go back to live with an alien species. Given how xenophobic they are of other species, it seems likely that he will face a lot of adversity being respected by his compatriots throughout his life. It's also possible that the seeds of uncertainty about his origins that Picard planted will not go away, and he will continue feeling as though he doesn't fully belong to either Talarian or human society.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Jono's adopted father, in trying to persuade Picard to return Jono to him, asks if he's ever been a father. Give him another 30 years.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Jono's situation is practically tailor-made to create interesting interactions with Worf, being a Foil to the Klingon's experience growing up in an alien culture, but the writers never caught onto it, and Worf himself never even mentions the similarity or reacts differently because of it.
