Cringe Trek

Nah. I liked it. Simple solution to help distract him when Data needed to save the day. The use of pheromones and other scenes to lure, distract or deflect others has been used for ages.
Honestly, out of all the stuff in that episode, I think the pheromone spraying is the least cringe-worthy...

I can't decide if Roddenberry was a genius or a super freak .
Both, possibly. Usually they go hand in hand.
At least STV TFF had the "three part cliche"... which was no less cringe inducing...
I genuinely am not sure what outfit you mean here.
I think that what scared Picard the most is that the Worf beast could have had sex with him!
She had different gray ones that had a colored application shaped like a V pointing to her crotch
The "Welcome Sign" is a chevron-shaped belt with the point aimed at Deanna's crotch. I was confused, I always saw her main jumpsuit, that she wore from at least season 3 until Jellico told her to switch to a regulation uniform. It's ill-fitting and destroys the actor's dignity.
Yeah, I've fast forwarded that one after the first viewing.
I meant as opposed to television screenplays. Writing a readable novel is much different.

And this reminded me of that scene in STV where Chekov and Sulu are ogling Vixis, Klaa's first officer. Ugh
- All the tedious cringe pandering to "I fucking love science" facebook meme page audience in Discovery. (NOW THATS THE POWER OF MATH! *had literally nothing to do with math nor was math shown at all*)
- Yum Yum.
- S2 of Discovery having these non-stop unearned tedious cringe emotional moments between characters who have barely interacted on screen.
- That episode of Discovery with Ash and Pike on the shuttle and Ash starts going "YOU NEED TO GET OVER THE GUILT FROM THE PAST AND YOUR NEED TO BE THE HERO!" crap, nothing like this is ever shown about Pike before this and both these characters have shared about 4 sentences on screen at this point. Oof that was some clunky ass writing and character plot introduction.
- Last episode of S2 of Discovery where Burnham just goes full fan fiction tier Mary Sue to almost comical levels. People crying about how amazing and how much they love Burnham is in the middle of battle, the entire battle and universe revolving around Burnham, Burnham being a transdimensional savior while being shown as a literal fucking ANGEL (something I said was going to happen as a joke at the start of the season, I thought more realistically if they weren't complete hacks it was going to be the AI from Discovery from the future)

- B&B Era Trek civilian fashion (Earth tones and spandex people!)
- B&B Era Trek having shiny glittery pearlescent material and Sequin fabric for basically everything fabric that wasn't a uniform, blankets in sick bay, pillows, etc because the FUTURE
- Neon green transparent plastic drums because the FUTURE
- B&B Space faring alien civilisation (or Federation colony), their "capital" is a few adobe houses without even windows, still uses fire for lighting and they have fabric and food being sold in the "town square" from farmers carts, oh they also farm using hoes and by hand as well.
On the Love Instructors thing. I don't find it that odd honestly, especially for a book written in the 70s during the peak of the new age Sexual Liberation era. Sex Therapy/Coaching is already starting to come back into the mainstream these days and 200 years in the future, who knows, Sex could be seen as some super casual thing between friends and monogamy could have gone the way of the dodo.
