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
Even this fucking musical episode is hitting on real shit. What the hell?
Ok I'm finding the truth of trek here. It has to be a satire, but one presented without a hint of irony and entirely sentiment.
It's a sappy satire. Oh also sexy (tension-wise). Without that, vibes are off.
Good luck recreating it. They somehow did it here.
Truly great sci-fi is usually social commentary on the real world. And often low-key satirical on the more ridiculous aspects of the real world.
