Makes (take your pick from, say, season one) seem positively erudite by comparison. No wonder the one guy chose "Code of Honor" as his favorite episode...
(Let's do a double feature of the wonderfulness of Allison, since the actual advert I could not find, because - even as a supporter of a lot of season one, myself - she's still got a great presentation.

Speaking of which we never did get that "Commander Riker Day" Picard mentioned at the end of that scene.
