I was pretty fed up with the PC Trek and it's naive humanism. Then I had to go read the Horatio Hornblower novels and Richard Bolitho series by Alexander Kent. I have loathed Trek with a passion ever since.

Intersting, for Roddenbery based his Star Drek series partly upon the voyages and discoveries of Captain Cook in the late 18th centaury .

But in the second season it was all leftwing messages,
like Sci-Fi of today - - only now this crap is made in Canada Z:-)

I second that!

Even when they'd do something cool, like laying waste to Cardassia, it would be followed up by existential hand-wringing and "Did we really do the right thing?" touchy-feely BS.
