Moments on TNG that make you cringe.

If we ignore season 1, then personally I'm struggling to think of examples that haven't already been covered, so I'll add only this: is anything from TNG as cringy as DS9's 'Move Along Home'?

"Code of Honor."

"Code of Honor."

I'm pretty sure that was Season1 - we are looking for examples after that.

"The Outrageous Okona" might be a contender though

Unfair comparison, because "MOVE ALONG HOME" was a good episode. But if you want a cringey DS9 episode: use "PROFIT AND LACE", the second worst episode of DS9.

And I've got an easy TNG contender: "Sub Rosa".

(Though "Sub Rosa" STILL manages to be better than "PROFIT AND LACE". At least it was well shot with a nice horror/creepy vibe.)

Strangely, Profit and Lace is an episode I still haven’t seen, after all this time.

Considering its reputation, you need not feel deprived.

Any casual reference to "rape gangs" was pretty cringe for me.

Sub Rosa is bad but it's fun-bad like a bad TOS episode. Which is also how I feel about a lot of S1 TNG as well. I'd take that over boring-bad like Voyager, early ENT, or early DS9.
