We are brothers and we all grew up watching Star Trek and science fiction. We just got done watching Star Trek The Next Generation season Season 1 episode 7, called Justice.

0:14.8

Just as a summary for everyone who hasn't seen it in a long time.

0:17.5

The episode is about a planet called Edo and they got caught up by the system of justice there and there was a conflict between

the Prime Directive and the Edo's justice and they found themselves having the power to override the Edo to protect Wesley Crusher, but they ran into an entity that referred to itself as God in space.
