I was enjoying the show but they make it hard to like with this lib shit

Stop trying to make it Star Wars you nerds. I want less “Starfleet sucks but it means well (We’re actually talking about NATO, sweaty)” liberal drama and more goofy adventures visiting strange planets and getting weird viruses pls

Go back to stupid shit like Ransom turning into a giant head instead of this dark season length 4D mysterybox shit

Yeah thats right I’m still posting dumb Star Trek rants, you can’t stop me. Go ahead and try

    The problem with Star Trek is that it’s what the 60’s thought a utopia would be, and in the 60’s they thought that starship troopers egalitarianism with a little less xenophobia was that. Starfleet is literally the military, if Star Trek was made today the enterprise would be a purely scientific vessel with no guns on it, earth would be past anarchy in terms of societal development (Roddenberry originally wanted humanity to be an ascended hivemind on Earth and Starfleet is regular humans working in service to it).

    I don’t like startrek because the definition of utopia has changed a lot and all the aliens are very bad allegories for different races. I don’t like the concept of fictional races in general. It was good for the time though.

      Thanks. I feel the same way when I re-watch TNG. I could never exactly put my finger on it.
