"We were innocent. It will never be that way again." We discuss “The Masterpiece Society”, which develops many of the same themes as TOS’s “Paradise”, but more sophisticated, including stagnation in a closed system and balanced societies as boring. Laura has a theory about this society being connected to the Eugenics Wars and we discuss the implications for women in this highly controlled society (it doesn't look good). Geordi and Troi are the episode MVPs, but Geordi wins for Smoothest MFer.
