Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?

Okay. It's not "Q" weird, but that is absolutely a weird episode. The whole "speaking in metaphors" thing is sort of a ridiculous concept as you'd have to have a language in place to even develop the metaphors. I loved how "out there" that episode is, and it is genuinely thought provoking, but if that was the first episode that I ever saw, I'm not sure I ever would have watched another one.

But I do like the concept of checking it out given a single episode. I'd rather recommend Season 5, Episode 18 (Cause and Effect), Season 2's The Measure of Man.
