There's no getting around the fact that Gene Roddenberry was a Liberal--but he was somewhat sane about it. Lots of stories from the original series spoke to the necessity sometimes of going to war-- or even waging a Cold War.

But Star Trek has always been generally left-of-center. I read a great article several years ago about how the Serenity/ Firefly franchise was actually Libertarian (and I agree).

I think the most right-wing sci-fi show in recent years was Space Above and Beyond .

I remember watching that one!
(Maybe I should dig up a copy and rewatch it.)

I always thought that Babylon 5 was a very politically and socially conservative sci-fi show ...

B5 struck me as right of center and essentially pretty fair all around.

SAAB was good and it sucked that it got cancelled as it got interesting.

Vansen was hot.
