Just watched Star Trek TNG series 7, ep 19 "Genesis": It was absolutely hilarious! I don't remember it at all from the first time around but I'm very glad I saw it now! It's so utterly ridiculous, I place it on the level of a Simpsons Halloween special: IE it was just meant as a bit of fun and is not to be considered as a real episode.
So spiders are part of human's genetic past??? And Spot the cat suddenly becomes an Iguana with a pink collar? No expense spared on SFX there!! And never has an abrupt TNG "and they all lived happily ever after" ending been so apparent as with this one! So the crew ends up joking as usual, suffering no disturbing after-effects after having just spent three days morphing "The Fly"-like, into all manner of pustulating, venom-spitting creatures and trying to rape / eat each other?!
I seriously can't decide if I love or hate this ep, at least the hilarity levels make it a memorable one. Being the final season, they had nothing to lose I guess. Why not have a laugh and camp it up with a horror parody?
