TNG sure did have some surprisingly graphic scenes at times for an afternoon/evening show that was mostly family friendly until surprise gore and then back to family friendly for a couple seasons.

Remember the one where they opened those dudes torsos like cans of spaghetti so they could kill the mind-control bugs in them? Why was that deemed necessary for the story at the time, I wonder, versus just having the phasers make them disappear?
