Oui. Even before the bit with Jadzia Dax, we saw Troi & the Suzie Plakson Klingon whose name I won’t try to spell actually drawing blood from one another.
Troi was not up for that.
Actually I can imagine Worf restraining himself for her sake in bed. But she would have known it, and that knowledge I think would have distressed her. Certainly it would be humiliating.
Enh, that’s not so terribly far from reality. It was the humans being descended from spiders that made me want to smash things. That, and the whole idea that if your DNA is altered, your whole physical makeup will magically change to what you would look like if you had had that DNA since the zygote stage. (They think genes are like a slide projector. Just change the slide, and bingo! A new picture.) Worst…science…ever.
Doesn’t sound far-fetched to me but, yes, it was a dumb episode. Not least for the laziness of Worf turning into the mega-predator, instead of some Klingon sloth-equivalent. This strikes me as akin to a hypothetical episode in which the crew reverts to their natural cultural states and LaForge starts playing basketball and eating watermelon. TNG could be one heck of a racist show, though the races were aliens.
Hm… I remembered liking the episode as a kid, but that doesn’t mean anything of course. Still, the wiki article you linked to says that Family is typically thought of as one of the best episodes of the series. Did it get a re-evaluation from the fans after its original run?
Did you know the actor who played Barclay is a right-wing talk show host? Like crazy right?
The king of the negro planet stole a white woman. He seriously stole a white woman. My jaw dropped.
I would’ve never noticed! I mean, I saw the bees, but I assumed they were a gift!
I’m with you.
To be fair, Worf was raised by humans, so he might not be completely culturally Klingon when it comes to mating practices.
I’m black, and I didn’t care. In Star Trek, and particularly in TNG, race means planet of origin. I don’t think LaForge or Uhura had any awareness of being black. In fact, Geordi might not have even understood what being called “black” meant.
ETA: Note also that he didn’t abduct Yar because she was hot. He abducted her because she was a badass.
ETA again: How do we know it was a “negro” planet. We saw the inhabitants of one city. Really just one palace. But that doesn’t prove much, even if you assume that it was the most populous city. Shanghai’s the largest city in the world, but that doesn’t mean that everyone on Earth is Chinese.
Well, not yet. Get back to me after I finish the turn-everybody-Chinese ray.
Wrong, Gazetteer breath. 
And I’ve got one of those traps made from a Pepsi bottle and sugar water.
I was going by the Wikipedia article on largest cities proper.
You’re not supposed to admit what your traps are made of.
Anything with Westley.
Worse than Jar-Jar.
In Star Trek world, only Earth (and a few planets with a civil war) have multiculturalism. Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan, Cardassian…there’s a lot of species/civilizations with monolithic cultures. Admittedly that makes writing for them a lot easier, and writers TRIED to alleviate this in later episodes (the Klingon lawyer admonishing the warrior class on Enterprise, the introduction of the Remans in Nemesis, etc.).
But still, we can infer that it is likely a planet of the blacks, and their king done gone and stole himself a white woman.
Worth noting, that had Riker taken one of the offered commands, it’s very likely he’d have died at Wolf 359 (or that his Plot Armor would have protected the ship. So he’s indirectly responsible for hundreds of deaths. Ouch.) They make a big deal of pointing out that all three commands he was offered were destroyed in that battle.
As for whether or not that affects his decision to not accept those offers… I dunno. Presumably being Picard’s first officer on “The Flagship of the Federation” has a good bit of prestige all its own, but then I guess a case could be made for him earning ill-will points by not sharing the cake.
Any episode involving Alexander is pure torture, especially “New Ground.”
Your point being?
Is that the “All you care about is your honor” episode? [Looking it up.] Yep. 
Wasn’t The Naked Now that episode where everyone caught a disease that made them act like drunk idiots? Yeah, that one sucked. However, the mental image of Data and Tasha Yar doing it was amusing and kind of helped.
This is, perhaps, justifiable to some degree. It is likely that isolated colony worlds might well be settled by small, fairly homogeneous groups.
Then how did they last??
Oh… homogeneous…
