Star Trek: The Next Generation’s first two seasons feature their fair share of questionable episodes, ranging from dull to disastrous to silly popcorn entertainment. Such stumbles are expected, especially for the latest iteration of a cult classic sci-fi series from the '60s. One semi-infamous installment borders on paradoxical, having maintained its controversial reputation and left permanent positive consequences. Season 1's "Skin of Evil" arguably made Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby) more famous for her abrupt death than her brief onscreen life. If her dubious send-off hadn't challenged the reliably risk-averse franchise, however, then The Next Generation would lack the core emotional drive powering some of its finest moments and characters.
