  • Skin of Evil (TNG)
    May 1 2025

    When American conservative evil is distilled into a black puddle of sludge that kills a woman, sends innocent people to an El Salvadorian mega prison and wages tarrif wars on friendly nations, Captain Picard is forced to answer the question, “Are some people just unable to embrace compassion and empathy?” It’s the episode that drives home the reality that the cruelty is the point.
