#TNGWatch #S01E18 #HomeSoil

After a long hiatus due to Samurai Champloo, Marvel's Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Iron Fist, and The Dragon Prince (from the writers of Avatar: The Last Airbender!), we’re back to watching the semi-utopian future of Star Trek! I have no idea what this one’s about!

The lady explaining how terraforming works to the clearly befuddled Enterprise away team is named Luisa Kim, making her a Latinx-Asian woman!

Picard is getting his Dixon Hill on as he plays detective on an about-to-be-terraformed planet.

That woman is clearly grieving, Riker! Stop being a sex pest!

Worf just scolded the computer, and it was ADORABLE!

This was legit a good episode. The Enterprise discovers a new type of life form on a planet that’s about to be terraformed (which would kill the new life form), and then the life form declares war on humanity. This is a great episode about the exploration side of Star Trek, and about defusing a situation as quickly as possible without killing anything in the process. Peace and science for the win!

Fashion Talk: Why do the terraforming crew’s uniforms have such a huge lapel? Wouldn’t that get in the way of all the stuff they have to do? Seems like a terrible accident waiting to happen.
