Story: Symbiosis
Written By: Robert Lewin, Richard Manning, and Hans Beimler
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1988
While investigating some solar flares, the Enterprise answers a distress call from some weird aliens that seem dumb, confused, and kind of too calm for their situation. When rescued they don’t even seem to distraught over the deaths of two of their crew mates…they are, however, concerned with the cargo they sent over first.
The cargo is said to be medicine for a plague. It turns out that two of the four rescued people are drug dealers, the other addicts. It is kind of TOO much of an analogy. Really lame, especially the bad after school special scene teaching Wesley how to stay in school and off drugs.
