Skip It Sidebar: Yet another painfully racist episode, though, in some ways it is not nearly as bad as others that we’ve previously reviewed here on this blog. But still, this ranks as an emphatic “Skip It!” Really, you won’t miss anything here, the only thing that really happens is Commander Riker sleeps with one of the locals, so yeah.
