YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S5E12 "Violations"

• Captain Obvious Reveal: Jev gets the ominous villain reveal shot before the opening credits. Plus he inserts himself into his victim's memories when memory-raping them. It'd have been a bigger twist if he wasn't the culprit.

• Complete Monster: Jev was a serial mind rapist who was part of a Ullian delegation, led by his father Tarmin, that specialized in telepathic memory retrieval, a process that restores lost memories. Jev first assaulted Counselor Troi by using his telepathic powers to rewrite her memories of a romantic moment between her and Riker into a rape and then replacing Riker in the memory. She fell into a coma after a mental attack. Later he assaulted Commander Riker and Dr. Crusher, making them experience their worst nightmares to keep them from exposing him. When Troi regains consciousness and can't remember her attacker, Jev "helps" by using the memory retrieval process and uses it to frame his father Tamrin, who is arrested. Then he goes to Troi's quarters, ostensibly to apologize for his father, but really to rape her again. This time she's able to hold him off long enough for Worf and his security team to arrive and he's finally brought to justice. What makes Jev even worse is that it's established the crew of the Enterprise are simply the latest in a very long line of his victims, with Geordi and Data's research turning up multiple cases of people who he left in comas, dating years back and spanning several different planets.

• Harsher in Hindsight: The season 2 of Star Trek: Picard establishes its eponymous character got through traumatic experiences during his childhood. Seeing him decline Tarmin's offer to help him recollect some memories takes a new sense.
