yeah see a while back this episode did bother me for that reason but...it was the 80s, man. Even putting the Trill into a female host and having the Trill herself be all "what do you mean we're not going to keep dating?" was progressive for the time. Shockingly progressive. It's not that progressive for our own times, which really shows just how much we've changed as a society in the last 20-25 years.

it bothers me less than the genderless aliens. I'm with Jon Frakes, I think it would have been amazing to have his love interest played by a man. that would have shattered boundaries, but it goes to show that for as many boundaries as TNG tried to push, back in that time period (oh god) there were still things you couldn't get away with on tv, even in a sci-fi context.
