Incidentally, something similar to this is why I would never recommend The Inner Light as someone's first Star Trek episode. It's probably one of the best they've produced, but it's a terrible introduction. It relies far too much on you having a pre-established understanding of and feelings about the character. It's also structurally so different from normal Trek. Something like Measure of a Man feels much closer to normal Trek, and it contains enough in the episode itself to endear you to the characters even if you don't already know them.
Oh man, I get hit right in the feelings whenever that episode comes up. Watched the Picard the other day where he's talking about his possessions and holding the flute and just... damn. Gut shot.
I'm not sure how I feel about the new show. I'm trying to let myself enjoy it for what it is without judging it. I guess it's worth it if for nothing else than little moments like that.
