Are We All Too Cynical for Star Trek? - eviltoast
The franchise’s evolution since the 1960s reflects disconcerting trends in American society.

    Paramount doesn’t even want to write about the Utopia anymore. All of the Picard series is about corruption, greed, power, and the Federation failing on all accounts. I hate them for it. Star Trek is supposed to be a glimpse into a hopeful future, not a reflection of our current problems but with phasers added.

    I think there are many valid criticisms of new trek but I really just don’t see this, old star trek had the same shit
