We need to machete TATV.
That's superbrain Barclay.
Ethics, shmethics.
I think Beverly's remarks were just stupid. The idea that she would put Worf in restrains indefinitely to keep him from killing himself rather than perform a risky operation is beyond idiotic!!!
She's the one who was out of bounds, not the other one.
I think they were right to offer Worf the option there. But anything else she did was wrong, testing experimental treatments in the field without informed consent.
I could definitely see doctor what's her face now doing that spinal treatment on other patients and killing them. If Worf only survived by an unknown miracle at the end, it's not gonna work for anyone less invincible than him.
I like this episode. I find myself siding with both Riker and Picard at the same time, and disagreeing with both Crusher, and the other doctor at the same time. It must have some nuance. The only downside is the contrived way Worf hurt his back. It'd be more interesting if he hurt it on an away mission in an uncontrolled environment, or maybe during one of his "calisthenics sessions" in the holodeck.

If you look at the size of that container, it should have turned Worf into a pancake!! No way he would have survived that. It's the problem with Star Trek, in general, no sense of measure.
Especially since logically at the beginning of the Terran space age, rapid premonition would've occured for those aboard the first inter-steller Earth ship . Heck - even Harry Kim would've climbed the ranks fast in 2250! Lol
Wesley Crusher is a good character. They have a couple of episodes were they right him as being to smart but it's not as bad overall as people make it out to be. Wheaton is a decent actor plus the character has something of a character arc with a beginning,middle and end that not all the other characters get.

"I have to watch it all!" No. You really don't.
That's my unpopular opinion. I'd go so far as to say it's the unpopular opinion I have.

I consider myself a huge Star Trek fan. There's no other entertainment franchise that even comes close. That said, I myself have not seen everything. There are still big chunks of VOY I have not seen. I only watched all of ENT just about one year ago.
I'll join you on this one. In point of fact I refuse to watch some Star Trek because I find the idea that I must watch everything abhorrent.
Unpopular opinion: Section 31 is a terrible idea for a Trek TV show. Possibly would work better as a series of movies.
Some folks are completionists, liking to see as much as possible on whatever subject they happen to like. I like Trek, I won't torture myself with it. But very little of it has been such a complete train wreck that I consider it torture. Even Discovery has some of the best acting the franchise has seen, even though the writing is a disjointed mess.

Like just about everything in the field of entertainment, it comes down to execution.
We may not want it, but it couldn’t be any more dull and uninspired than Discovery.
Unpopular Opinion: An episodic series about the Enterprise-H that takes place in the 2460s (100 years after TNG) is a series that a lot people think they want, but they wouldn't like it if they actually got it.
Coolio.We may not want it, but it couldn’t be any more dull and uninspired than Discovery.
I recently watched The Next Generation for the first time all the way through recently, and I don't get the hate for season one. Sure, it has some questionable episodes, but I really enjoy how Spiner plays Data, I love Patrick Stewart's more, Shatnerian approach to acting "Someone find out what the HELL is going on in engineering!" It seemed like he was having more fun with the part back then, not taking himself so seriously. I wouldn't have minded seeing some more of the goofier side of seasons one and two in the rest of the series.
