I really hate it when Trek tries to do “horny.” The plot of this episode revolves around three Orion slave girls getting the male crew all turned on (some sort of pheromones are involved, I think), and it’s extremely unfunny.

So, wait, the idea is that Orion women control men by pheromones that make them super angry and horny? Cause uh I don’t think that would turn out for the ladies the way this episode seems to think it does.

I think they were trying to redeem the TOS Orion women by being like, "See? It's the WOMEN who are in charge of their society!"

(Either way, it's bad! Also, not to toot their horn again, but Lower Decks did Orions way better)

Lower Decks does a whole episode digging into it, really funny and pretty horrifying
