Actually i kinda like this episode and its line about good and evil being the same. Its an overall goofy episode but still has something to it

"I swear, it's not that ridiculous all the time..."

During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: "Yeah, it looks bad, but there's an important progressive message in there somewhere."

Enterprise pilot episode: "Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better."

I mean this is pretty true of any Star Trek series. DS9 from the 90s probably has the widest gulf between grim and goofy episodes; in one episode there's a war criminal who gloats about committing genocide and getting away with it, and another episode from the same season has the cast playing hopscotch.

Isn't it funny that the events of modern day are hundreds of years past for the members of Starfleet, yet all of their cultural references and entertainment options revolve around our period?

Haha, and sometimes they even try to throw in some made up one to address that, and it sounds goofy.

"Famous leaders, such as Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill, and Xergon the Merciful!"

All great sci fi has its moments of levity. People who can't or won't accept that, I don't know what to tell ya.
