James R KirkHow I imagine those crying "i tHouGHT StAr Trek WAs suPPosEd tO bE a UtOPia"
cannedtunaExpects utopian society, only watches first episode. Ignores every instance where things aren’t utopian / breaks rules.
DS9 great example of non utopia. Shit TNG had a ton of examples of how Starfleet isn’t perfect and there’s still political bs.
Value SubtractedThe best nostalgia is nostalgia for something that never existed in the first place.
I love TOS because Kirk was a renegade rule breaker who had lots of sex, and Spock was stoic and never showed emotion ever. Also is there a more iconic phrase than “Beam me up Scotty”?
