    AI / LLM Reviews of Star Trek The Next Generation - Rascals

    Google Gemini

    While returning to the Enterprise from a trip, Captain Picard, Guinan, Ro Laren, and Ensign Haskell are caught in a bizarre transporter malfunction that interacts with a temporal displacement field. Instead of being killed, they are reverted to the ages of approximately 12 (Picard, Guinan, Ro) and 6
    (Haskell). Crucially, they retain their adult minds, memories, and personalities, though they struggle to manage their new, small bodies.


    Before I saw "Genesis," this was my choice for Stupidest Episode Ever. Okay, they've been transformed into children, but it's clear that they do have their normal memories and mental capabilities. Why, then, do the rest of the crew treat them condescendingly?

    The bad guys pull a complete O. Henry, giving in even to obviously fake tantrums... as opposed to, say, belting the noisy kid.

    This epsisode reaches what I think of as "Joseph Smith was called a prophet" levels of dumb. South Park fans will understand.
