 > While returning to the Enterprise from a trip, Captain Picard, Guinan, Ro 
 Laren, and Ensign Haskell are caught in a bizarre transporter malfunction 
 that 
 interacts with a temporal displacement field. Instead of being killed, they 
 are reverted to the 
 ages of approximately 12 (Picard, Guinan, Ro) and 6 
 (Haskell). Crucially, they retain their adult minds, memories, and 
 personalities, though they struggle to manage their new, small bodies.

 Before I saw "Genesis," this was my choice for Stupidest Episode Ever. Okay, 
 they've been transformed into children, but it's clear that they do have 
 their 
 normal memories and mental capabilities. Why, then, do the rest of the crew 
 treat them condescendingly? 
  
 The bad guys pull a complete O. Henry, giving in even to obviously fake 
 tantrums... as opposed to, say, belting the noisy kid. 
  
 This epsisode reaches what I think of as "Joseph Smith was called a prophet" 
 levels of dumb. South Park fans will understand.
