An early Star Trek: The Next Generation episode introduces a planet that apparently becomes a tourist hot spot by the time of Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of Star Trek: The Next Generation's worst episodes introduced the planet Angel One, which would go on to become a tourist destination by the time of Star Trek: Lower Decks. TNG got off to a rough start with its rocky first season, and a couple of episodes stand out as particularly infamous.
While looking for survivors from a missing freighter, the USS Enterprise-D visits the planet Angel One, which has a matriarchal society led by Beata . Commander William Riker leads an away team down to the planet where they discover that the survivors, all men, have been declared fugitives. According to Beata, the men introduced harmful ideas to their society and sowed the seeds of revolution.
In "Angel One," Counselor Deanna Troi remarks that the culture of Angel One sounds similar to that of her home planet of Betazed. Since the three diplomats in Star Trek: Lower Decks are Betazoid women, they would likely have been welcomed on Angel One. Still, the existence of tacky souvenir cups suggests that Angel One has not only become more welcoming to visitors but also has bars or other venues to entertain tourists.
The Problems With TNG's Angel One Episode Star Trek: The Next Generation season 1 is widely regarded as the show's weakest season, and "Angel One" as one of its worst episodes. TNG season 1, episode 14 contains many of the worst clichés from Star Trek: The Original Series and early TNG.
Despite being intended as a call for equality, the reversal of gender norms has the opposite effect, and is undermined by Beata's romance with Riker and the Enterprise First Officer's later speech. There are some good ideas and concepts in "Angel One," but the execution ultimately flounders. Putting Riker in a revealing and ridiculous costume does not have the desired effect when he still gets to be the one to save the day.
