YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S1 E13 "Angel One"

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Worf's "Klingons appreciate strong women" line. In the script Worf was at the helm and made the remark to Data, who was sat nearby at the ops station; presumably the intention was that Worf was trying to explain an aspect of Klingon culture to him. However, the actual episode instead has Geordi at the helm and Worf near the back of the bridge next to Tasha, meaning that it instead comes across as though Worf is trying to hit on her.
  • Heartwarming Moments: In what is perhaps the only really good part of the episode, just watch the respect Geordi has for the captain's chair and position when he takes command.
  • Values Dissonance: Riker wears the native male apparel of Angel I while having a private meeting with Beata in order to demonstrate his respect for their culture. While this could be seen as him just trying to seduce her in order to gain the advantage in the negotiations — which itself would be a rather sleazy act by modern standards — he mentions that he has conducted many negotiations while wearing the native apparel of the cultures he has been negotiating with, something that nowadays some might consider cultural appropriation.
