Guy on the right giving “I’m Kenough” vibes.

This is the episode where your parents would walk in. “What are you doing, I thought you were watching Star Trek?”
This happened to me during the movie Species. Mind you, not during any of the Natasha Henstridge boobage, but my dad walked in at the part in the seedy motel where the lady scientist gets on her knees to blow Michael Madsen.
Your parents would love Gene’s original idea for Ferengi
I haven’t heard this one, what was it?
Edit: I should watch DS9 apparently. I’ll get there. Someday.
A quick Google gave me this:
It was his idea that it was by law that no female Ferengi could even own clothing, let alone wear it. The fact that women are not allowed to make profits was decided early on. It’s almost like [a] Victorian industrial revolution kind of attitude toward women, which is they should be home, taking care of kids and they shouldn’t even be wearing clothes because that just gets in the way and it costs money. There’s no profit in that!
Thank God they changed that
They didn’t change it, that’s was the official lore.
What they did do was use DS9 and Quark’s mother Moogie to write a suffragette movement subplot which gave Ferangi women equal rights over time.
They played with it in DS9.
Quark is disgusted his mom is a “twisted degenerate” that campaigns for (Ferengi) women’s rights and wears clothes around the house and such.
The real lore is ferengi have HUGE gonads. I’m talking visibly noticeable bulge.
Thank God
theyGrand Nagus Rom changed that
He just got done explaining to Tasha how they tuck, that the back of his outfit is a strap that runs between his shoulder blades and eventually ties to his penis, and that’s why its considered rude to bow in their culture.
What a terrible day to be literate
Words I wish I’d never read
So that’s ray finckle got that idea
Laces out!
“I should have listened to Mom and become an accountant instead of becoming an actress…”
Deanna just got some emotions from her mom and is gonna barf.
All the glorious 5 pixels.
computer, enhance!
I count at least 10 :-)
I love the cameltoe…. On the big tall Swedish dude
It’s called a “moose knuckle” when it’s male junk
What the fuck even was that episode, I’ve only seen portions of it from youtube clips and the occasional TV re-run but I’ll never dit and actually watch the episode in full
Justice. Season 1, episode 8. (No I don’t have the season and episode memorized, I just Googled it.)

And honestly… stick with the clips. It’s really stupid.
So the premise is that men are just there to be eye candy for women on this planet?
There are way way better ways to show off basket than inflicting that level of camel toe.
No, Edo isn’t reversed gender roles. They’re all about fitness and equality. The men and women act and dress alike.
The Edo were a free-spirited people, extremely welcoming and friendly and very open sexually with themselves and visitors. Edo women greeted men with a deep embrace, and offered themselves sexually to any man who would accept them; Edo men behaved in the same fashion with women. It was customary among the Edo to run from place to place instead of walking.
There was limited variation in Edo clothing, with most members of the species wearing the same type of costumes. However, only the leaders and the mediators wore necklaces including the Edo symbol. The mediators wore a grey and black costume that identified their responsibilities. Edo boys went about shirtless, but girls and adults of both sexes wore tops.
Which is why it was permissible to ignore the prime directive.
Meanwhile Picard waited until the last second to help this alien:
Which is why it was permissible to ignore the prime directive.
This episode pisses me off for so many reasons, but this is the biggest. They weren’t just pre-warp, they were pre-space travel. They shouldn’t have beamed down there in uniform and in sight. These are people that include a lady terrified of a computer because she thinks it’s a god.
It is just a complete Prime Directive violation. They should simply not have been contacted.
The show is actually fairly consistent that once contact has been made on a planetary scale, Starfleet no longer needs to hide from them. Back in TOS, Kirk was sent to negotiate with the Organians even though they were thought to be an outright preindustrial society. The Organians had contact and were trading with other space-faring civilizations, like the Klingons, so there simply isn’t a reason to stay away. The other parts of the Prime Directive that get applied to interstellar civilizations, like not messing with their government without invitation, still apply.
Maybe, but why would the people have made contact if the computer controlled their civilization and wanted to keep them down there?
We don’t really get much about the Edo other than what’s immediately relevant to the plot (and the skimpy outfits), so there are many possibilities. The Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, or even Ferengi may have been the first to make contact, and the Edo God doesn’t seem to mind outsiders so long as they don’t try to settle permanently. The Edo also could have been space-faring in the past and decided to scale back. Or maybe they are warp-capable and very few care enough to leave the planet.
Sorry, it really looked and played too much like the scenario in Roddenberry’s 2nd failed ‘Dylan Hunt’ pilot ‘Planet Earth’ (1974).
Roddenberry never left any idea unrecycled, but John Saxon looked better as eye candy.
Diana Muldaur looked better in the X-cross get-up too.
Suddenly, I realize who should have been cast as the lead in Zardos.
Careful. If stillpaisleycat sees this post they are going to start claiming that the TNG episode Justice is a ripoff of Zardoz too.
?? Planet Earth featured John Saxon entering an Amazon (dominant female) culture.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Earth_(film)The TNG Edo plot was completely different with absolutely nothing in common.
It was a recycle two—for-one: The costuming overlapped on that one, the plot recycling was saved for the equally eye-rolling ‘Angel One’ where
In this episode, an away team visits a world dominated by women to search for survivors of a downed freighter, while the crew of the Enterprise suffer from the effects of a debilitating virus.
Yes Angel One is similar to Planet Earth. But there is absolutely nothing in common between Planet Earth and the TNG episode Justice.
It isn’t an Amazon world controlled by women. The men aren’t drugged. There’s no woman vs woman battle to claim the protagonist. There’s no overcoming drug to allow men to fight against invaders.
Justice is about Wesley Crusher stepping on grass and getting the death sentence. It’s a legal trial style episode where Picard argues for Wesley’s life against a god like race that oversees the Edo.
The TOS episode What Little Girls are made Of also features and actress where the top crosses over. A crisscross overlaid fabric blouse does not mean the TOS epsisode has anthing to do with Planet Earth 1974.
The costuming is from the same design language and it was lame for the 1980s if passable in the 70s.
As I also pointed out it was also used in the 1960’s. A crossover blouse has nothing to do with your claim that they were the same story. The costumes don’t even look similar.
The masculine for crotch cleavage is not camel toe, but rather moose knuckle.
Wardrobe Meeting: “Hey, what if we had a really dumpy guy wearing a criss cross diaper?” Make it so.
If you think that dude is dumpy where the hell are you dating, the Olympic Village?
Right?! What the fuck are these body standards??
I swear it’s like they decided to save money by reusing the sets/actors/costumes from some weird softcore porn that was already in progress.
Still better than the hate crime that is Code of Honor.
I like how you took a “screen shot” of your TV
I did not, as I found this image elsewhere.
The counsler is just orgasming in silence.
I thought this was a post mocking Tate’s tuck job ‘mankini’ picture at first.
