Opinions on this are hardly universal, particularly for clothing and other mundane elements of the culture that don't have religious, spiritual, or traditional significance.


* ValuesDissonance: Riker wears the native male apparel of Angel I while having a private meeting with Beata in order to demonstrate his respect for their culture. While this could be seen as him just trying to seduce her in order to gain the advantage in the negotiations -- which itself would be a rather sleazy act by modern standards -- he mentions that he has conducted many negotiations while wearing the native apparel of the cultures he has been negotiating with, something that nowadays would be seen as cultural appropriation.

Zero Context Example. There were any other number of widespread viral outbreaks between the airing of this episode and COVID being a thing.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Worf's "Klingons appreciate strong women" line. In the script Worf was at the helm and made the remark to Data, who was sat nearby at the ops station; presumably the intention was that Worf was trying to explain an aspect of Klingon culture to him. However, the actual episode instead has Geordi at the helm and Worf near the back of the bridge next to Tasha, meaning that it instead comes across as though Worf is trying to hit on her.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: In what is perhaps the only really ''good'' part of the episode, just watch the respect Geordi has for the captain's chair and position when he takes command.

* LostAesop: At the time of this episode's writing and for years afterwards, it was heavily insisted that the society on Angel One was an allegory for apartheid in South Africa. Although Angel One does depict a segregated society, there is far more evidence of a [[StrawFeminist cautionary tale against certain radical feminist movements]] whose ideology is often interpreted as an intention to replace the alleged patriarchy with a matriarchy. It is worth noting that many female ''StarTrek'' fans self identify as feminists, though not neccesarily as the [[DoesNotLikeMen extreme type of feminist]]. It is possible that the writers insist on the apartheid allegory to avoid alienating part of the fanbase.
