espanolbot: tinglerer: ancamnarvienn: thevoyagereternals: Star Trek + Social Commentary (context in the captions) THIS is what the original Star Trek TV series and films were about. Not just about blowing up things in space and snazzy lens flares with a side order of casual sexism -.-‘. Always reblog. I don’t know, even up to Enterprise there were quite a lot of examples of casual racism and sexism in the various seasons. Star Trek has an idealism hampered by terribad writers or whatever. Sure there was bad stuff in there. Name a show that truly attempted greatness and new things that did not occasionally stumble. But I would not define the entire franchise by its mistakes when it has done or at least tried to do so many things right. We need more shows like that again (and JJ Abrams’ movies certainly do not count). -- source link
