TNG Episode 1.3: The Naked Now

In which Wesley feels strange, but also good. I also feel strange, but not so good.
 
Memory Alpha says: The crew of the Enterprise is subjected to an exotic illness that drives them to unusual manic behavior. (Click the Memory Alpha link if you want detailed information. This post is a commentary-style review rather than a plot summary, and there will be stuff missing that I didn't have a response to.)

My Review
Oh God, I always forget 'The Naked Now' is the first real episode of TNG. I didn't expect to have to deal with it so soon. I want to get it out of the way now, though, and next time jump sideways and begin DS9.

I actually think 'The Naked Now' is a fairly groovy title, but it sounds like it's about being intensely present in the moment, with nothing between you and the experience, rather than about people actually taking their clothes off and acting like damn fools.
