The Naked Now

But no, it's a great point.

Bringing up the Deep Space Nine episode, and sort of also in The Next Generation when they do the redux of this with The Naked Now, which is like a direct remake of The Naked Time.

We don't know the characters on The Next Generation so well yet when they do that.

And on Deep Space Nine, when they do Dramatis Personae, we also don't know the characters that well yet either.

It was quite entertaining, but it was out of sync for what we know TNG to be.

This is like, in terms of freaky episodes of TNG, it's this episode and the Naked Now.

In the Naked Now, what happens, they get a space virus that turns everyone to freaks.

So they start acting like they're drunk and start having sex with each other.

Half the crew was like, oh, we're all down because we caught the disease and somebody's having sex.

Teleplay by the aforementioned J. Michael Bingham, who was D.C. Fontana.

And the original air date was the 5th of October, 1987.

So Majlis called Fontana into an unoccupied office.

There was a problem, he said.

Paramount wanted Roddenberry to write The Naked Now, but that with his approaching deadline on the Farpoint prequel, which is the first episode of the show, and all other tasks necessary to the start of production, there wasn't enough time to do everything.

Fontana replied that she would gladly withdraw from the Naked Now assignment, which she had, and devise her own original material for the show.
