    Agreed. It was one of those Star Trek episodes that tried to make a point (in this case a point about disabilities not being stigmas) and doing it so badly that they make the opposite point instead. And it’s not the only one at all.

      Even worse is that there have been several episodes with that message. Many of the Geordi-focused episodes, and the woman who couldn’t live in normal gravity in DS9.
