Things had to get bad in ST before it became a socialist utopia though.

Star treks great but they really should avoid predicting the “doom” of our society

I like star trek but I could do without the “socialist utopia”. Star trek shouldn’t be a instruction manual

SciFi should only show happy futures?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
I don’t think SciFi should take a firm stance in the future. This episode is kind if silly at best.

“Fiction shouldn’t express opinion” is certainly an odd tale.

What about TNG: Encounter At Farpoint aka the first appearance of Q?

I’m not sure if you watched Star Trek… Do you think life on the Enterprise or whatever is terrible? Isn’t human life portrayed as utopian as possible?

True but this episode in particular is fairly controversial and I can’t imagine it aging well
wombatula@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Controversial? You are literally the first person I’ve ever heard say that.

Stop feeding the troll.

Possibly, I think people are just reacting negatively because you explicitly said “Star Trek in general”, and you were not referring to this episode in particular.
