    What about "Trial episodes where they should have actual legal counsel and not make it up as they go along"?

      I think that's in a more general category of "Picard yells about morality or something", includes the "four lights" episodes too.

      Seriously, the strongest force in the TNG universe is Picard yelling at someone. That's why the Borg assimilated him. But... their... cadence... is all wrong.

      Agreed. Whether it was one on Enterprise or an alien planet, etc. Ex: When Worf asks Picard to represent him as his Cha'Dlch on Qo'noS, the crewman who had a partial Romulan lineage on trial and later the witch hunt turns to Picard as a traitor, Q puts humanity on trial, when Riker is tasked to prove Data is not sentient, etc. This subject definitely needs a slice in the pie.

    Now I'm imagining the TOS version where 3/4 of the pie chart is "gets some tail", and 1/4 is "thinly veiled cold war allegories" about a society in decline that's lost all individuality and forgot how to function, as it's being run by a computer. (Although most of those involve getting some tail, too.)

    I've thought about the light green slice before. Data is pretty easily hacked, and when it happens he is completely unstoppable by the entire crew of the Enterprise. I don't think Starfleet would allow him to continue serving aboard a starship after the first event. He is incredibly dangerous.

    Not sure those categories are mutually exclusive, in which case a pie chart is illogical, captain

    I imagine that the holodeck episodes ("We're stuck in 1990s LA") is when they gave the costume crew the day off.
