YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S6E18 "The Chase"

• Accidental Aesop: Some fans have taken issue with the episode appearing to advocate the theory of intelligent design^note which is itself really just a sneaky way of referring to creationism. However, the Ancient One does talk of life having evolved, so it's pretty clear the episode is still advocating evolution all the way down — it's just that it isn't Earth where the evolution happened.
• Heartwarming Moments: Who is it that most takes the message of the Precursors to heart? The Federation's ally, the Klingons? The Cardassians? No. It's the Romulans, of all people, who are most willing to consider the meaning of what was left for them to find.
• Retroactive Recognition: The actress who played the hologram of the precursor race is Salome Jens, who would later go on to play another similarly-looking character (though considerably less of a friend to all species) on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
