YOUTUBE - First Contact (TNG S4E15) | Star Trek Journey 196

An Amazing episode that shows a lot of political nuance and understanding with this moral issue they're presenting where really when you take a lot into the situation from the perspective of the antagonist minister with the glasses, you can very much see how horrifying this first contact situation is and how really he's kind of right. However it is hampered from being in the first place by an awful comedic scene where Riker is forced to have sex with that nurse to escape, which is not only complete filler, breaks the serious tone of the episode, is cringy to watch but also Riker is very clearly uncomfortable and this scene pretty much shrugs off rape as a silly comedic moment. To me that scene is irredeemable and sinks the episode down.

Bebe Neworth (sp?) or Lilith from Cheers and Frasier made love to Riker? Wow.

Hi guys, i have a suggestion. Since you made the tier votes open for all the remaining season, i notice the in order to see what tier i voted for that particular episode, i have to scroll down a lot of pages to find the propre voting post and with all the new posts, it will get lower and lower in the tier list votes. So, would it be possible when you post a reaction video, to add that particular tier list just after so they are in a pack like, not sure if i'm clear enough, my english is obviously not perfect 🖖

These hints of Alex leaving the channel are stressing me out! Damn, you guys play your audience's emotions like a fiddle. FIDDLE, I tells ya!

Are you using some kind of ai auto smoother or something on the thumbnail? It looks... odd.

No rewrite on this one for you guys which is interesting. This episode is on the higher end of the watch spectrum for me but not at the very top. The plot is relatable, the character performances are well done and overall I enjoy it with each re-watch. Overall a solid episode. Thanks so much. 🖖
