It was first aired on January 25, 1988, in the United States on syndication. It was written by Patrick Barry and was directed by Michael Ray Rhodes. Set in the 24th century, the series tells the story of the adventures of the crew of the Starship Federation Enterprise-D. In this episode, the visiting team visits a world dominated by women to find survivors after the downed cargo ship, while the crew of the Enterprise suffers from the effects of a debilitating virus. The episode was to be a commentary on apartheid in southern Africa, using a gender-changing role. However, there were problems between the cast and the director during filming, and Patrick Stewart sought to change the sexist nature of the episode. The resulting episode was not liked by the producers, and the reaction of the reviewers was negative. Plot Enterprise arrives on the planet Angel One, which is ruled by the women's oligarchy. A ship is searching for survivors of the shipwrecked cargo ship Odin, seven-plus years after being evacuated. The cargo ship lacked three escape pods and the only planet in was Angel One. An outing team consisting of Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Lieutenant Commander (Brent Springer), Lieutenant Tashi Yar (Denise Crosby) and Advisor Deanna Troy (Marina Sirtis) descends to the surface. They try to negotiate with Beata (Karen Montgomery), the chosen of the locals, to allow them to search for survivors. Time, however, is important because the Enterprise must travel to the Federation outpost near the neutral zone of Romulan (where a group of Romulan cruisers was discovered) as soon as they resolve their investigation into Odin's survivors. Beata reveals that they are aware of four surviving men alone who have caused disturbances in their community and are considered fugitives. Beata asks Riker to stay with her (and later asks him to order Troy, Data and Yar to track down the camp survivors and their leader Ramsey (Sam Hennings), staying and dining with her). After some back and forth, Data concludes Ramsey and Survivors One will have platinum with them, and Angel One is naturally devoid of platinum, allowing the enterprise to easily spot them. Meanwhile, Riker dresses up in clothes given to him for dinner with Beata, Troy and Yar to tease him for dressing in clothes that sexy him and in some ways humiliate him, and he only does it to win favor with Beata. He responds by saying that he honors local customs, and recognizes the beauty of Beata, and that the clothes are quite comfortable. The Enterprise is looking for it in orbit around Angel One. Dr. Beverly Croucher (Gates McFadden) releases Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) from the service after he and most of the crew contracted a random virus on board, giving a strange smell to their victims during the infection. The captain leaves the team of Lieutenant Georgie La Forge (Levar Burton) (for the first time in the acting command of the starship). Soon after, they find Ramsey and hand over his location to Away Team, which beams right there. Faced with the data, Yar, and Troy, Ramsey and his men, having taken the wives and family for seven years, refuse to leave, Georgie informs Yar about the medical situation on board, and that more Romulan ships have been found near the neutral zone. Riker learns from Beata that their social structure has already begun to collapse, but Ramsey and his men served to accelerate his decline. Riker argues that this may just be the course of evolution going on. In enterprise, systems are becoming harder to maintain with a large crew succumbing to the virus. Georgie (after a friendly reminder from Sniff worf (Michael Dorn) recalls that as a team, he has to delegate tasks so he can stay on the bridge. Dr. Crapper believes that the virus is an airborne body that produces a sweet odor to encourage inhalation, after which it viral inside the body. Riker gets up to date, and decides that while Ramsey and his group are at large and refuse to leave the planet, there is little they can do. Before leaving, they discovered that one of Beata's assistants, Ariel (Patricia McPherson), had married Ramsey, followed by Beata's guards to their camp, where they arrested the survivors and their families. Team Away tries to explain to Beata the reason for Ramsey's refusal to leave. Beata and her board reject his reasoning and threaten to execute them the next day. After he failed to convince Ramsey and his team to leave with them, Riker contacts the Enterprise in the hope of transporting Ramsey and his group without their consent (despite the fact that it is a violation of the Premier Directive, and almost certainly the end of his career), but Dr. Croucher (in the treatment of the incapacitated Georgie in the captain's chair) refuses to allow anyone to beam on board, fearing infection but allows the data android to come back. Riker orders Data to take command and deliver the Enterprise to a neutral zone before it is too late. The next morning, the Away team is invited to witness the execution of Ramsey and his followers. Moments after Riker rejects their invitation to contact and informs them that there is a 48-minute window in which Dr. Croucher must find a cure, and Riker must defuse the situation on the planet before the ship has to go to the Neutral Area. On the planet, Ramsey and his men are ready to be executed as a result of decay, despite Ariel's pleas, while Dr. Croucher discovers a cure for the virus. Riker is ready for the team and the survivors of the Odins to shine on the Enterprise, but Beata announces that she will remain executed and expel Ramsey, his people, their families and all the others who support them to the far side of the planet. She explains that their exile will not stop the fall of the oligarchy, but will slow it down enough that Beata will not be around to see its end. The team on the road returns to the ship and Picard, having already recovered from the virus, but barely having a voice, orders the ship to a neutral zone on a high deformation. Producer Herbert Wright explained that the episode was supposed to be a commentary on Apartheid in Southern Africa, when black people represented men on the planet. Patrick Barry's original storyline would have seen Riker and Data come to the surface with an otherwise female team that insulted the planet's leader to such an extent that Yar stuns his phaser as a show of strength to prevent his immediate execution. Riker is imprisoned when one of the planted men, named Lucas Jones, begins a rebellion. Jones is killed, but his death inspires his followers to attack the government. In this version, Picard is the only one who fell ill on board the venture. Reverse role already been included in the 1974 Gene Roddenberry TV pilot/film Planet Earth, and Wright has described it as being done a thousand times already. In his book Sexual Generations: Star Trek, the Next Generation and Gender (University of Illinois Press, 1999), Robin Roberts notes that a similar story was used by Walter Besant in his 1882 anti-feminist dystopia, Rise of Man. Michael Ray Rhodes filmed the episode as part of a deal with the Bronx zoo, another television show filmed at Paramount Studios. Rhodes previously won an Emmy Award four times for his work on the television series Research between 1981 and 1984. Wil Wheaton later recalled that there were some problems between the cast and the director, but he didn't know what they were talking about, as he only worked one day filming. Gates McFadden described it as one of the most sexist episodes we've ever had, and Patrick Stewart sought to change the episode to reduce those elements.
