Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

It’s usually a bad sign when they have to say that.

The only way anything can be better is when the majority of everyone says it’s better.

Saying it out loud doesn’t make it better.

  “they should keep politics out of Star Trek”
  Ah I see the problem here.
  The problem is that I thought I had to care about your opinion, when I really, really do not.
  Go back and watch literally any episode, ever, and come back and apologize for this embarrassment of a post.

  […]the aggressive push of current Political issues.
  
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_and_Uhura's_kiss
  
  In the episode of Star Trek: The Original Series titled “Plato’s Stepchildren”, season 3 episode 10, first broadcast November 22, 1968, Uhura (played by Afro-American actress Nichelle Nichols) and Captain Kirk (played by white actor William Shatner) kiss. The episode is often cited—incorrectly—as the first interracial kiss on television. It was, however, the first instance in which a kiss between a black person and a white person on U.S. television was scripted, as an earlier kiss on Movin’ with Nancy was unscripted. The episode aired one year after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down nationwide laws prohibiting interracial marriage.
  
  Star Trek has always been political.
