Endless Trash posted:Yes there is a financially struggling drug addicted woman who lives on Earth in the show. a star trek story about the awfulness of our current economic system would be timely and appropriate but the writers are cowards so instead all they ever do is imply that their show might be about something with hack writing like that without ever having the spine to take a stance more progressive than "we think it's nice that ladies kiss sometimes" edit: I know that I'm really negative about modern trek for this reason and I sound like a broken record but I really think it says something about how utterly hosed we all are if this is where we're at, where a two part DS9 episode from 20 years ago can be more relevant than anything they've made recently then gently caress it man society's crumbling we can't even star trek properly now Tighclops fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Apr 29, 2021 |

android picard also has an erectile dysfunction that real picard never actually had because they had to make some assumptions when programming the whole elderly android thing. picard season 2 will be mostly q making limp dick jokes/borgs fighting with nunchuks.

Neddy Seagoon posted:There's a non-zero chance Q's just gonna *snap* Picard back to human next season. That's an intense quandary! A man gets turned into such a perfect android clone of himself that he'll age and die just the same. Then a god transforms him back into the same lump of flesh he was before. To the unaided eye, this did absolutely nothing, just putting different labels on the same actor. To the auteur though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8AULZ2le28

He should wiggle his nose, like Bewitched. In fact, he should just be Samantha from Bewitched without explanation

Star Trek is important. There are countless interviews both with people like engineers, astronauts and scientists, as well as people like politicians and diplomats who say they are who they are because of Star Trek – a universally attractive technological, economic and sociological utopia that they can visualise and work towards, that almost feels like our destiny. If Star Trek is now forgettable action schlock for olds, if the most compelling mainstream sci fi around is Rick and Morty, a show about a depressed sociopathic magic science wizard who uses his science magic to hurt everyone for fun and profit, then that's a problem. I like Rick and Morty, but if we don't have a wide eyed optimistic futuristic dream that everyone can buy into together and work towards, as a species, where are we going?

It's like our neolib/ post-9/11 world order makes everything grim and kind of lovely. Which is reflected in our entertainment. And the two are in an interdependent relationship.

Although very very different from Trek, and a book series, I find Becky Chambers Wayfarers series to scratch my "optimistic future" itch in a really great way. I also think it's worth saying that she writes plots that are much more low stakes than "saving the planet/galaxy/universe," and makes them super compelling. Also like Trek it has weird alien sex habits! But that's not like, the focus. Except when it is. The second book in the series is one of my favorite sci fi books of all time.
