Embracing 2016 - This Stinks!

Generally regarded as the least pleasing episode of the series as it deals with modern gender issues that never took place in the 1960s.

Younger viewers might find this hour rather pleasing but the older crowd (like me) will find it a struggle.

In fact, I would just skip this episode all together as it is the sort of thing that lingers in your memory and watching it might damage your memories of STC. There is a nice, very brief, subplot with Chekov (too bad he was not more featured in the series) but other than that - "Embracing 2016" is a stinker.

Note: I have watched all eleven episodes of this series. It seems the makers of the show learned from their mistakes and never went down this sort of road again - in fact the last three episodes are great!
