Yeahhhh… and it makes me glad that the 'A' part in AED exists, because there are apparently a not insignificant number of people who have gotten their CPR training from TV.

Not a huge surprise. They missed their chance to represent the South the first time around, so this would be a dream come true for them.

Although I could argue there are worse scenes in general, the one with the most impact for me, that almost cut my Trek fandom short… the handholding jellyfish at the end of TNG’s debut 2 parter.

I watched it when it first aired, and I cringed so hard that my family thought I had a stroke. Really, those episodes were full of stuff that made you feel like an ass telling your friend new to Trek that “it gets better,” but that really was the whipped cream and cherry on top.
