I kinda want to know what she think Star Trek is about.
The original had the first on screen interracial kiss.
TNG is all about finding the best way to minimize suffering and uplift species so that Riker can sling dong
Those are the only two series I watched. Can someone fill me in on DS9? Is there like a rad fascist crew?
DS9 says that terrorism is cool and good sometimes using an alien race formerly under a 50 year brutal Carassian occupation thst the writers said in interviews was analogous to the struggle of the Palestinians. Ds9 also has an episode where a main character leads a strike and quotes Marx. The captain travels back to this year and sparks a revolution over the homeless crisis in the most prescient piece of Sci fi ever, it was written in 1992. Garak is a queer icon and Jadzia/Ezri Dax are trans icons. Deep Space Nine is the most left wing Trek until Lower Decks happened. Also watch DS9, it's absolutely amazing.
Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun, come right now, don't walk. Run!
Sounds pretty fash ngl
It'd basically Mein Kampf as a 7 season Sci fi series that spun off of a successful franchise. It even does self-crit about the federation and shows perspectives of characters outside of stsrfleet. It's right wing as hell
Also, DS9 does a better job of depicting actually existing racism in mid-century USA than any other show or movie I have seen. Most media (think about “The Help” for example) shows white people at that time as totally non-racist except for the one Bad Apple. That’s not how it was, most white people at that time were pretty racist, except for some (not all) leftists. In that one DS9 episode all the white folks are either racist (Odo and the cops) or at best kinda ambivalent - other than the clearly very leftist Quark. Could be better but still get it more right than most.
The only fascist is Janeway, Paris is just her grill dad lover
