Storyline

- TriviaThere are many similarities with Nosedive (2016), in which your social rating determines your societal value. In both, certain establishments will refuse service if you have a low enough rating. However, the script for "Majority Rule" was submitted before "Nosedive" aired, so accusations of plagiarism are meaningless. Similar plots (with lower technological settings) in fiction (and non-fiction) go back at least to the days of Ancient Greece.
- GoofsThe away team was supplied with the anthropological reports from Lewis and Tom that gave them enough insight into the culture of Sargus 4 that they were able to replicate the clothing and money, yet somehow they were completely unaware of the up/down voting system, the basic framework of that planet's society.
- Quotes
Admiral Tucker: Exactly what did you navigator do down there?
Capt. Ed Mercer: I'm told he... dry-humped a statue.
Admiral Tucker: My God - what kind of ship are you running out there, Captain?
Capt. Ed Mercer: Look, Admiral, he's an impulsive guy, yeah, but he's fantastic at his job.
Admiral Tucker: Part of his job is to maintain a low profile when observation lesser-developed alien cultures.
Capt. Ed Mercer: I, I know that, and I promise it will not happen again; I will personally order him... not to hump things.

This episode probably has always been relevant, but no more so now. Sadly, I think the point will be lost on too many
The irony, is I'm making this statement on a medium that has the power to fairly or unfairly affect livelihoods and peoples lives.
