YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S2E17 "Samaritan Snare"

• Harsher in Hindsight: Star Trek: Lower Decks would later reveal that the Federation's refusal to take the Pakleds seriously allows them to become a much more genuine threat over time, to the point where they can easily overwhelm mid-sized Starfleet ships like the USS Solvang.
• Memetic Loser: The Pakleds served as a punching bag for incompetent aliens, such as in the Star Trek: Klingon game.
• Memetic Mutation: "[x] is broken. Make it go."
• Retroactive Recognition: Tzi Ma is the biomolecular specialist at Picard’s transplant.
