Expects utopian society, only watches first episode. Ignores every instance where things aren’t utopian / breaks rules.
DS9 great example of non utopia. Shit TNG had a ton of examples of how Starfleet isn’t perfect and there’s still political bs.

It’s exactly this sort of moral complexity and nuance that gave Star Trek its best stories.

YOU BETRAYED YOUR UNIFORM.
Mr Worf, gas that planet.
Hell, even by first episode standards, Voyager literally starts with the Maquis rebels. It’s right out the gate critical of the Federation’s utopia, haha.
DS9 was also an outlet for Rick Berman’s nasty misanthropy, he despises the world of Star Trek and loathes the idea of the Federation.

The best nostalgia is nostalgia for something that never existed in the first place.

I love TOS because Kirk was a renegade rule breaker who had lots of sex, and Spock was stoic and never showed emotion ever. Also is there a more iconic phrase than “Beam me up Scotty”?
