Storyline

- TriviaThere are many similarities with Nosedive (2016), in which your social rating determines your societal value. In both, certain establishments will refuse service if you have a low enough rating. However, the script for "Majority Rule" was submitted before "Nosedive" aired, so accusations of plagiarism are meaningless. Similar plots (with lower technological settings) in fiction (and non-fiction) go back at least to the days of Ancient Greece.
- GoofsThe away team was supplied with the anthropological reports from Lewis and Tom that gave them enough insight into the culture of Sargus 4 that they were able to replicate the clothing and money, yet somehow they were completely unaware of the up/down voting system, the basic framework of that planet's society.
- Quotes
Admiral Tucker: Exactly what did you navigator do down there?
Capt. Ed Mercer: I'm told he... dry-humped a statue.
Admiral Tucker: My God - what kind of ship are you running out there, Captain?
Capt. Ed Mercer: Look, Admiral, he's an impulsive guy, yeah, but he's fantastic at his job.
Admiral Tucker: Part of his job is to maintain a low profile when observation lesser-developed alien cultures.
Capt. Ed Mercer: I, I know that, and I promise it will not happen again; I will personally order him... not to hump things.

Both attack the same subject. Both have their good points and method of presentation.
Nosedive is better. The execution of the special effects are superb. There was definitely more that went into them, all build especially for that story.
But the best point of Nosedive was Bryce Dallas Howard; she keeps up a steady character development throughout the piece. She is the singular center of the drama and does her father proud.
