  • Sorry for lack of updates, a lot has come up in life. I am going to make a post later today about the first season of "new" Doctor Who that I did indeed finally watch. TLDR: I liked it a lot but I'll go more into detail later today

  • Well I'm not a Marxist Leninist or anything like that, and neither is Star Trek ever promoting anything like that

  • Yeah, I find it odd because its Hollywood doing these references which isn't exactly a left wing institution.

  • Ironically The Orville did that better by saying there are no prisons anymore in the Planetary Union.

  • Ah yeah socialism I guess is a less dirty word in those parts.

  • I thought socialism was social ownership, not welfare programs that exist under capitalism.

  • Based

  • None of those quotes say private ownership of cars is gone. Cars aren't the means of production btw, so I don't even agree with SNW here.

  • Star Wars?

  • The same episode says private ownership of things like cars no longer exists in the future, so it's clearly a description of the economy. I agree its almost a dismissal though, which is why I prefer The Orville's treatment of the no money post scarcity economy more.

  • Where are you if I may ask? And I think it may have been a dictate of Gene Roddenberry to not name which economic system won out, which is kind of a copout. But yeah it's refreshing to see it called what it is finally

  • And it just seems accurate, at least with definitions of socialism I've read and studied

    Was it a good thing that SNW explicitly said the Federation is socialist?

  • Id rank the last two seasons of ENT higher than Voyager

  • Yeah I guess they took TOS's "five year mission" statement a little too literally

  • I like SNW, so I hope its not cancelled.

  • I need to finally actually watch this show. I might as well use it as an excuse to get Netflix

  • I'm just hoping that this doesnt mean SNW will be cancelled like some of the other shows

  • The Survivors is one of my favorite TNG episodes so def agree there :D

    What are some underrated episodes from each series?

    I want to get into Doctor Who, but it seems daunting and massive, any suggestions where to start?
