I want to see the immigrant experience in the Federation. There's gotta be a ton of refugees and political exiles and people who are just tired of working for wages who think moving to Earth or Vulcan or a Starbase or whatever is a good idea. Gimme that culture shock.

mind the walrus posted:I see potential there-- like showing that sure you don't have to work but there's an insidious social pressure to avoid being indolent, and how stuff like "Keeping up with the Joneses" manifests in a world where you can both have equally excellent wardrobes and toys. Snotty and snobby people who twist Federation Values into a way to avoid integrating immigrants they don't like. Hell you could even get topical and focus in on social media as a form of currency in a post-scarcity society. Yeah! And like how it ends up impacting the internal dynamics of incoming groups. How do Mr. and Mrs. Klingon keep their kid going to bat'leth practice and upholding the family honor when they're surrounded by a culture that sees those things as a hobby at best? What happens to groups that see themselves as bound together by wealth when they move to a place where that just isn't a thing? What, if anything, do they replace it with?

An episode where the federation realizes they're poo poo sucking idiots when it comes to personal level fighting. Just real awful, and their ancestors would be ashamed if they weren't radioactive vapor. Jesus Christ, we have no idea what we're doing, James O'Brien will say, after seeing another 20 security personnel get obliterated after failing to take any kind of of cover.
