    I remember this episode, this scene even, for how it failed step 3 of the Bechdel test so badly. Never seen a more classic example.

    1. The movie has to have at least two women in it,
    2. who talk to each other,
    3. about something other than a man.

    The fact that they’re talking about a man, and also the circumstances of the scene. Like, what even are these exercises? Were they invented by some sleazy director? Or did a sleazy director just pick them out from a list? And then pick out the outfits?

      This is the work of infamous Executive Producer Rick Berman. His “touch” is dotted throughout the TNG-ENT era. Not exactly a proud moment, but fits for the sake of this meme format.
