Story: Plato’s Stepchildren
Written By: Meyer Dolinsky
Series: Star Trek: The Original Series
Year: 1968
The episode with the first interracial kiss ever on television is actually kind of terrible. It has a little person who is constantly humiliated. It is just goofy. The whole episode has the characters being forced to humiliating things, and the first interracial kiss ever on television is FORCED. It is nice that they made that leap, but they didn’t make it seem natural, it had to be forced upon our characters.
Other than that it is still notable for that reason, but beyond that one scene it is a pretty terrible episode.
NEXT TIME: Moving Fast
