Star Trek TNG Season 2 Episode 9 The Measure Of A Man - eviltoast

I haven’t enjoyed TNG really at all so I slowed down on my journey of watching all of Star Trek in order. However tonight I decided to watch a episode. That episode was The Measure Of A Man. This episode is truly a diamond in the rough in my opinion. This episode is exactly why I fell in love with Star Trek in the first place! A show where it’s not all surrounded by endless fighting or war. A show that demonstrates how powerful a voice can be. I don’t wanna spoil this episode for anyone who hasn’t watched it so I highly recommend to go watch it as soon as possible. I’ll say this however. Data and Picard and Rikker are now my favorite trio after this episode ❤️

    Excellent episode for sure. This one comes up in philosophy and legal circles. Legal eagle guy gives at very brief analysis, comparing the procedures used there against actual military courts. It’s nothing in depth, but still fun seeing analysis from a legal mind. We watched the arguments portions (on VHS) in philosophy 101 at my university. The professor felt it was a great way to illustrate Descartes’ dualism ideas.
