History YMMV / StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E11TheHunted

* JerkassWoobie: Roga Danar mocks Troi mercilessly, even though she's just trying to help, because [[DontYouDarePityMe he doesn't want Troi's (or anybody's) pity.]] That said, given that much of his psychological conditioning would have been done by trained psychologists and counselors, it's understandable he's have a low opinion of them. Seeing how badly he was treated by his own government, it's hard not to feel for the guy, and it's no surprise that he has such a bitter, sardonic sense of humor. Of course, once we see him in action, he borders on WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The episode is an allegory about neglected war veterans (specifically veterans of UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, but really applicable to the veterans of any war), and in true ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fashion, it is ''not'' subtle about making its point. Sadly, the anvil-dropping would become [[ValuesResonance only more relevant]] [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror in about 10 years]].

** His reaction, however, is understandable, given that much of his psychological conditioning would have been done by trained psychologists and counselors, which would have left him with a very low opinion of anyone in that particular field. To anyone else who isn't a counselor or an Angosian politician, he's a great deal more polite.

* HilariousInHindsight: Worf shows up in the climactic scene no worse for wear after Roga dumps a bunch of crates on him. Which is pretty funny after he gets seriously hurt after ''one'' in [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E16Ethics "Ethics."]]

* MagnificentBastard: Roga Danar was one of many volunteers who fought in a war when his home planet Angosia III was attacked. The Angosian government altered the volunteers with [[BioAugmentation genetic engineering]] and [[BehavioralConditioning psychological conditioning]]. Danar and his fellow {{Super Soldier}}s were exiled to a lunar prison after the war. Danar escapes the prison while the ''Enterprise'' is in orbit of Angosia III who are asked by the Angosian government to capture him. Danar outwits the ''Enterprise'' crew several times before being captured. Conservations between Danar and Data and Troi reveal Danar to be a clever, charming, and tragic figure. When Danar is about to transferred back to lunar prison, Danar again escapes and outwits the ''Enterprise'' crew again, creating several [[WeNeedADistraction diversions]] until he escapes the ''Enterprise''. Danar frees the other super soldiers from the lunar prison and plans to attack Angosia III's capital so that the government will be forced to welcome them back into society.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Okay, okay, it's a minor thing. Data was busy on the bridge, so it was up to Worf to stop Danar's escape, but man, how cool would Data vs Danar have been?
