Star Trek: The Next Generation - The High Ground
In a controversial episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", the crew offers their services to victims of a terrorist bombing.
In one scene, Data (Brent Spiner) discusses the history of terrorism, listing examples of instances when terrorism succeeded, such as the "Irish Unification of 2024." Because of this explicit reference to The Troubles, the episode was banned in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland for almost 20 years.
