NEW YORK CITY, NY – The General Assembly of the United Nations has passed a resolution acknowledging the 1994
Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Sub Rosa” as the most important cultural achievement of the human race.
“‘Sub Rosa’ has it all,” said Bhutanese representative Doma Tshering. “[Actress] Gates McFadden has sex with an alien who is also a ghost who is also her grandmother’s lover, then she shoots the alien-ghost-lover… that, to me, is storytelling at its finest.”
“And let’s not forget that Crusher’s possessed zombie grandma attacks Data,” added Raymond-Serge Balé, the Congolese representative. “Science fiction asks the big questions, like what it means to be human and where our species is going. And I hope we’re going to a future where horny ghost aliens fight androids.”
