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

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

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

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

True but this episode in particular is fairly controversial and I can’t imagine it aging well

Controversial? You are literally the first person I’ve ever heard say that.

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.

SciFi should only show happy futures?

I don’t think SciFi should take a firm stance in the future. This episode is kind if silly at best.

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

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

I’m struggling to remember two episodes I appreciate more. One of the moments when Julian Bashir earned “my favorite doctor.”
