No arguments for or against these yet? I’ll nudge this part of the conversation by pointing out that TOS – THE original Star Trek show – seems to have a high percentage of episodes which would “fail” this silly “test”.
Comment on A "test" to judge Star Trek shows
Indy@startrek.website 2 days ago
Here’s an addendum with a few great episode examples which might pass my “test”.
- TOS: “Amok Time”, (arguably) "The Galileo Seven"
- TNG: “Brothers”, “Lower Decks”, "The Measure of a Man"
- DS9: “It’s Only A Paper Moon”, “Improbable Cause”+“The Die Is Cast”, “The Magnificent Ferengi”
Other shows also have great episodes that pass, but I want to stop here for my examples so as to avoid showing my hand (too much) and stating which show(s) I think fail.

You need to test bad episodes like Code of Honor, Up the Long Ladder, and Sub Rosa to see if they pass too, though.
