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

I didn’t like any of the new Star Wars movies, so probably not a good sign

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

Id rank the last two seasons of ENT higher than Voyager

Thx so much for all this :). I’m going to dive into Who this weekend

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
