Line 11:
** One of the characters behaves towards one of the others in a way that's ''blatant'' sexual harassment... but seems brushed off due to [[Values Dissonance]]. This is happening ''during'' Riker bemoaning his race's barbarism, so apparently it's only wrong when white humans treat someone else like sexual meat.
* [[The Woobie]]: Troi, Jaza, Vale, Tuvok, Riker, Keru, Ra-Havreii, Ree, screw it ''[[Dysfunction Junction|THE ENTIRE CREW]]''.
** The problem with this is that it effectively neuters them as protagonists in what is still theoretically an adventure series. It's [[Character Derailment|especially bad with Riker]], who goes from being the strong, confident man of action he was in the series to a mewling, cringing wimp who spends a lot of time brooding in his ready room.
* [[Wangst]]: And we're talking ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]'' levels of it, here.
** To expound: Everyone's either mourning a dead lover, trying to hook up with a new one and miserable because they're failing, Riker and Troi's marriage has distinctly unhappy (read ''absolutely miserable'') overtones, most of the crew's backstory is full of pain and angst and ostracism. It seems the series believes [[True Art Is Angsty]]... but it's so [[Anvilicious|unsubtle]] and [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy|all-consuming]] that it's [[Narm|impossible to take seriously]].
