Anyone here remember the Star Trek TNG episode about the people the Enterprise found who were cryogenically frozen back in the 20th century?

I don’t remember one from TNG, mainly because I hardly ever watched it .. but I do remember the classic one from TOS -— Space Seed, the first mention and sight of Ricardo Montalban as Khan.

I remember it.

I also remember wondering why those people got shot out into space. I mean, it’s one thing to freeze people in case they can be cured in the future, which is a longshot in itself.

But then shoot them out into space and layer on the additional complexity of a spacecraft having to operate unattended for long periods, getting potentially lost or destroyed. Even if a cure is found, what good is it if nobody can find the spacecraft?

If they didn’t want them kept around on Earth, they could have at least stuck them on the moon rather than just setting them adrift.
