Wherein Andy and Justice innoculate the wider Trek fandom against the notion that the seventh episode of the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation consulted with any medical professional in the screenplay's assessment of how to properly handle an unknown pathogen. Not only do we get more of Pulaski's bigotry in this episode, but we learn that her academic experience as a virologist has zero bearing on the decisions she makes for the wellbeing of the crew. From usurping the chain of command to not understanding how either a shuttle or a force field work, we question her enrollment and graduation from Starfleet Academy. But hey, the makeup and special effects team really pulled off a stunner here.
