I liked Archer, I'd rank him up there with Kirk and Picard. Then again I havent seen the series in a long time, just bought the Blu Rays of it so I guess Ill rewatch it soon and see if I still think this
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.
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.
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
In case you don't know, they explicitly use the term socialist to describe the Federation economy in SNW. I was wondering if ppl liked or hated it? I like it personally since it's not a dodge like "new world economy"
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 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
Just curious as I want to rewatch some overlooked episodes from each of the series out so far.
Should I watch all 20 years of the original run or just begin with the new one which I think is been around for 15 years? What are the best episodes? I've seen only a handful of the old and New ones but I liked what Ive seen, just hoping for a guide to really get into it
