Star Trek was pure liberal fantasy.
They always spouting off about “The Prime Directive”
(non intervention into other planets affairs for you non Trekkies)
Then,in nearly every other episode, they violate it.
Otherwise they’d have no show and be aimlessly drifting in space!
I did mention it was liberal fantasy, didn’t I?
I loved the original ST, but c'mon, the captain of a starship leads dangerous expeditions to planets? Like having Patton lead the troops ashore on D-Day. A doctor gets to stand on a bridge and give advice to the captain. I know it's a fantasy, but a lot of things I could never get past.
