Valiant
Another episode about how war fucks people up, the Valiant is the Star Trek version of the children's crusade. It isn't too hard to see where the tragedy is going but it is well acted and well paced and I enjoyed it. But man, the first officer is the sassiest Federation crewmember ever.
Profit and Lace
I hear I long time ago this was the worst Trek. And I'll say, it was never good by any stretch but for the first 2/3s, I wasn't squirming, which I can't say for a lot of Trek episodes. And I knew we were heading for "Quark in a dress", which I knew where the episode would get ugly. But man, I wasn't expecting Quark to TRANSITION. And then the show proceeded not only to be transphobic but specifically seem to list off every possible transphobic bad take to have. Its kind of impressive in a horrendous sort of way. Plus, they actually did a "chase Quark around the table" scene. Its kind of a triumph for this to be on the top of the heap for most misogynistic Trek episode considering... the franchise.
