watching the opening of ST:TNG "Timescape" and imagining what it would be like in a post-scarcity environment in which, theoretically, all persons are equal and there's no systemic oppression anywhere (in theory!) - would that behaviour, the come-on, be acceptable? is it only unacceptable now because of power dynamics?

Shortly after that is one of tng's least-tng scenes, with Troi, Geordi and Picard all making fun of conference lecturers.

It's a weirdly normal scene which feels out of place because Troi and Picard are normally so stodgy.

And later we get Picard's even weirder smiley face.

nostr:npub1c8dwrsfpp7fx53xarq8asdnma5jfgppx28jskyfsdja0pxp5832s8p2vaz I actually like that scene, but you're 100% correct: it is incredibly not TNG. (the smiley face I don't like. something about it is just... off.)
