Star Trek: The Next Generation - 4x22 - Half a Life

    In this very special episode of Star Trek, Troi's mother is around, and develops a relationship with a guy who's visiting the Enterprise to run some experiments.  Troi's mother flips out when she finds out that in his society, people voluntarily kill themselves when they reach 60.
    This is not a great episode.  It seems simultaneously heavy-handed, but also middling.  There's a lot of Lwaxana making a big fuss, and acting morally superior.  Then there's Picard, behaving admirably responsible.  There's a legitimate argument to be made in favor of the custom, but it doesn't play out the way it should.
    It didn't seem like any of the main characters had anything worthwhile to do during the episode.
