    This show has odd messaging.

    And wrong more often than not.

    The worst part, for me, is the projection of Federation morality onto
    others. Real science fiction can handle beings who don't turn out to be
    Just Like Us in the end.

    Star Trek is science fantasy, and it still manages to deliver broken
    morals. I'm still fond of it, though.


    Agreed to the above, although I am less fond of it with each iteration.

    I haven't even seen the later ones. I was asked to watch Strange
    Horizons (I think that's the name), but it just looked awful.


    Strange New Worlds (as in the Shatner narration at the beginning of the
    real show.)
    If you don’t mind the Captain’s cabin being thousands of square feet where he can host parties for the crew where dozens of crewmembers break off into individual gatherings, including one with a mechanical bull) or that Nurse Chapel is a drug fueled berserker who murders Klingons when she’s not boinking Spock, it’s an OK show (eye roll)

    Trouble is - that seems to be the #1 plank in the Labour government in
    Great Britain today particularly with respect to the migrant file.

    They're even working with Muslim groups towards a new "hate" law.

    Which is code for the Muslim idea of "blasphemy" which may be odious
    but is definitely not criminal much as the usual suspects would like
    it to be

    (and plenty of other items on Youtube on this subject)

    As well as a remarkably weak kneed response to illegal migrants. "One
    in, one out" my foot!
