* BigFishInABiggerOcean: Chancellor Durken is the leader of the OneWorldOrder on Malcor III and used to think he was as high up as one could get. Then his FirstContact with the crew of the ''Enterprise'' showed him that there were actually many other more advanced civilizations than his out there in the cosmos. He's a lot more humble about it than usual.
-->'''Durken:''' I go home each night to a loving wife and two beautiful daughters. We eat the evening meal together as a family. I think that's important, and they always ask me if I've had a good day.\\
'''Picard:''' And how will you answer them tonight, Chancellor?\\
'''Durken:''' I will have to say: This morning, I was the leader of the universe as I know it. This afternoon, I'm only a voice in a chorus -- but I think it was a good day.

* TaughtByExperience: Picard tells Durken that Starfleet and the Federation are this when it comes to first contact. They used secretive methods on Malcor III and refuse to share their advanced tech with the Malcorians who are in the know because of past first contacts where they ''didn't'' exercise such caution and brought about dire consequences -- Picard specifically brings up their "disastrous" first contact with the Klingon Empire and the lengthy war that resulted.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Lanel essentially gives Riker an ultimatum: Have sex with her or be captured. While it's not a case of physical force, it's still rape-by-coercion; the episode doesn't really play it up as anything other than a humorous scenario, but it's unlikely that it would be taken the same way were it Troi or Crusher being pressured by a male alien.

The writers probably figured they could get away with it due to Riker's reputation as someone who ReallyGetsAround.
