    i wish there was a way to make an overtly communist star trek spinoff/reboot somehow. or just even like a fanfiction. be cool to keep most of the core concepts, maybe harden up the science a bit. yes i know this is basically The Culture series but i'm thinking more culture-ifying star trek instead

          It's a little lib and a bit cringe in season 1(though less than I was expecting), but it's clearly a moneyless society to the extent people are confused by capitalism and they need a person obsessed with the 20th century to explain things to them.

          But really, Seth pitched a satire to the executives and tricked them into funding a Star Trek Series. It has a bit more toilet humour but it's never that much goofier than, say, Star Trek 4. And Season 2 is up there with any Star Trek.

            hmm i might have to give it another shot. even more so if they finally do a Culture series but fucking amazon/Bezos produces it.
