YMMV / Star Trek S2 E9 "Metamorphosis"

Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Zefram Cochrane's reaction to seeing the Federation commissioner essentially amounted to "Hey hot girl, let's jump in bed together!" Young healthy male marooned on planet for decades + newly marooned female = Hormone explosion; doesn't really take lot of analysis to see why he'd be all over her... but then in First Contact, back in the 21st century, Troi was complaining about how she'd gotten roped into drinking with Cochrane and spent a lot of time fending off all of his drunken efforts to grope her. If anything, he's improved! Arguably, an intentional Call-Forward.
  • Ho Yay: So much of Kirk's speech ("is he important to you?") would be later be echoed with him and Spock in the movies, with all the "noblest part of myself" and "jeopardising my career to give you even just a burial on your home planet". Not helped by Shatner's sad and pining expression.
