"Emancipation" is pretty fucking cringe.

Fun note, same writer as that terrible TNG episode with the same plot.

This is hilariously topical.

I am just getting into the series after having watch the film various times over the years. It really feels a bit, "religion of the week" right now and I am struggling with some of these episodes. I really like the characters but my goodness was that Emancipation episode awful. Would you encourage me to press through?

Absolutely keep going. The first season has a couple stinkers. The show finds its groove soon.
