Inspirational credit to @[email protected] for getting me to watch the first Leah Brahms episode, then feeling obligated to follow it up with s4e16 “Galaxy’s Child.” Well played.

TNG s3e6 “Booby Trap” and The Office s6e6 “The Lover”

    I never really understood Riker’s objection here. In general I agree with his point, but his objection felt shoehorned into the episode. This wasn’t about an M5 style computer taking over everything. Just helm and thrusters for a bit. And what choice did they have?

      It’s out of character. Seems more like fodder for the sake of dramatic story. Added impact to Geordie’s solution to escape manually without computer assistance.
