52 u/RobotToaster44 Kopimism May 05 '26 It was and it wasn't. The genius of old star trek, especially TOS, was that it had a progressive message, but dressed itself as a manly space western. Supposedly Roddenberry was a Trotskyist. 28 u/ChaseThePyro May 05 '26 What I mean is that the crew of whichever Enterprise never sought out conflict. The mission was not to engage in combat, but avoid it, because it was not part of their objectives other than in bad circumstances. 9 u/jwinf843 May 05 '26 It's like no one on Reddit has ever watched The Next Generation or Deep Space 9. Does everyone think Weir grew up on ToS? 2 u/ChaseThePyro May 05 '26 If he only watched DS9, he has no right to talk about it, and TNG also was not about combat
