The Neutral Zone TNG Season 1, Episode 26

Join me as I cover the Season 1 finale. The title of the episode is "The Neutral Zone" but the story line where Starfleet is re-introduced to the Romulans turns out to be the B plot, instead the story focus on 3 frozen people from the 20th century that Data defrosts. And while Picard and Riker are callous to them, to the point where they scolded Data for not leaving these 3 people to die. The episode does make a sharp criticism on 20th century capitalism and wall street greed, and is probably the episode in the franchise that explores Roddenberry's vision of a moneyless economy the first, and I actually love this episode for that, as it's part of Roddenberry's vision that I appreciated the most.
