After "Encounter at Farpoint" established the new world of TNG, things take a decidedly unoriginal step backwards this week. "The Naked Now" is a sequel/rehash of the TOS classic "The Naked Time," only without any of the fun and lazier writing. After that, Tasha Yar is kidnapped by a man who would make her his bride in the deeply uncomfortable "Code of Honor," which also has shades of "Amok Time" and any of the TOS resource plots.
Also this week: Riley v. Wesley, Data's workings, and toxic fandom.
Content warning: the first of what will unfortunately be several episodes wherein Yar mentions the "rape gangs" on her homeworld.
