The puzzles of the Prime Directive reach near Philip K. Dick levels of mindscramble. Is it right to save a society from destruction if their society demands no interferance. Can one grant a citzen asylum from a culture they are unhappy with if that defection means death to those that stay behind? It’s like when Algeria or one of those other loser countries democratically vote to end democratic voting. Makes you just wanna hit warp seven and get the hell out of there. But not Picard! He will do what is right! (Or at least what he thinks is right.) Also: Troi gets it on with some dweeby guy.
