Lmao first interracial kiss, champion of non-binary, trans, and gay people for the super obvious if you used two or more brain cells when watching metaphor characters sprinkled all over the seasons.

Sure, go ahead and say this hasn't always been star trek.

This is like people who think Starship Trooper is a Gung-go military action thriller... I'd ask if you'd like to know more, but if you did, you wouldn't be this dumb.

I'd argue that if your sci-fi isn't pushing boundaries with that sorta stuff, it's not doing its job.

PS: Buenos Aires was an inside job

THANK YOU!

My dad is definitely the type to think Starship Trooper was a cool pro-military movie, but surprisingly he gets that it's satire and mocking his former job.

However, he still upholds that the BUGS somehow managed to launch an attack against earth, somehow either aiming at a populated area or getting EXTREMELY lucky, from ACROSS THE GALAXY

Nah it was 100% an inside job.

... We are talking about the TV show with an episode where they show it's wrong for aliens with black and white skin to discriminate against the same aliens with white and black skin, right? Just making sure we and the "the story is bad because wokeness is at the forefront" comment are on the same page.

Just to set the record straight, that was not the first interracial kiss on TV.

If the story is bad it's because of bad writing.

I'm sure that you feel like you're saying something very profound, but for most people that's just gibberish.

I'm sorry... It must be hard living with condition like this.

Have you spoken to a therapist about getting past your own insecurities?

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield wasn't that bad.

The truth? He didn’t say anything at all.

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago

Oh, hey, great argument. You basically just said "True dat." Try adding something substantive next time, or at least be funny.

Didn't you get the memo? Star Trek is OK now, Star Wars is woke. This brought to you by people who do the Vulcan Salute wrong.
