TNG again

Just hit the episode with the androgynous species. The space-mystery is almost nonexistent in this one; it's primarily focused on one androgyne trying to figure out the whole gender deal and sorting out its feelings with (and for) one of the crew.

And everyone is talking about gender and sexuality thoughtfully and realistically, acknowledging the complexity of the issues and listening to each other.

I love this show.

A metaphor

I couldn't be crashing harder if I hit an iceberg.

Another one

Picard: "Permission for an onboard wedding granted. Nothing would please me more than to give away Mrs. Troi."

ETA: Also: "The higher... the fewer!"
