Some people still believe there are no politics in Star Trek

  DS9 dabbled into politics in ways the other series never did, to the point of a culture conflict, war, genocide, oppression, occupancy, etc.

    DS9 certainly took it to a more intense point, but there’s not a single Star Trek series that wasn’t constantly swimming in politics, philosophy and ethics dilemmas. Anyone who thinks there isn’t real life politics in Star Trek isn’t paying attention.

      Most of the other series were more philosophical. It wasn't really about the long-lasting impacts of politics, rather more just thought problems that were wiped away at the end of the episode.

      I think that's what OP meant when they said "...politics in ways the other series never did".

    Star Trek has been very political since the original series.

    The setting allowed for some deep introspection not distracted by the Planet of the Week™

  Star Trek going woke again, who would seriously allow women to wear clothes, let alone earn profit. Disgusting!

  Moogie is great. I love the scene where she is explaining some sort of investment she has to Iggy-Pop Vorta, who then responds with something like, “As fascinating as this is, if your son doesn’t collect you soon I’m going to have to kill you.”

    Iggy Pop Vorta is the best Vorta

  There doesn't exist sci fi that isn't political. Even space opera is political.
