They basically yell this as the theme in your face during the crossover episode with lower decks.

I think it works fantastically as what we wish the world was like. And that's what Star Trek needs to be. It's hopeful. I was fucking sobbing on episode 2. Not because of beautiful writing or whatever, though it is VERY GOOD, just that someone addressing the fucking issues in a way that maybe there's some hope to it.

The writers of this one really are trying to be hopeful during a really fucking terrible time and I think that is awesome.

I keep using the word "hope". That's the only one for it. It's not positive. It's not even optimistic. It's hopeful. And that is enough to make me cry.

Edit: m'benga killed a fucking war criminal, in damn close to cold blood (a circumstance m'benga coerced in fact), and it was was played as good. It's good fucking TV

    Going forwards and turning the federation dystopic, ala Picard, is bullshit because it's the same bullshit we deal with in real life. Thats so far from the point of trek it's nearly sacrilege.

    for sure

    Disco, should've, and has now become basically, a different timeline. It's just movie stuff and does not focus on philosophical and ideological issues enough, it's schloppy sci-fi.

    yeah disco shouldn't have been called trek. IP law is a fuck

    if SNW finds its feet and stays good for a couple seasons i'll watch it but i've been burned before and alex kurtzman isn't blacklisted so it's too soon for me to fully trust.

      I feel you. I am "hoping" kurtzmans just a name so studios are comfortable funding ala berman because this has been so far removed from anything he's involved in so far
