And if this is “classic Trek,” explain the basics it breaks — the plot never does.
Money exists. Food is rationed. Characters talk in $.It doesn’t explore, justify, or even acknowledge the shift away from post-scarcity — it just assumes it. Not world-building. It’s a continuity hole.

Calling Starfleet Academy “classic Trek” because it lectures misses the real tradition.
Old Star Trek explored ethics through story, conflict, and consequence — not characters stopping the plot to explain the moral.
If the lesson needs a classroom speech, the writing’s already failed.

Really? I just think its kinda lite entertainment. Obviously not targeted audence. Still cant get over why they refer to money. Mightnt seem like much, but changes the whole premis of a post scarcity world without explanation. And why dollars in the 32nd century?

Just bad writing.

I still dont get why $ is even mentioned in the show in a post scarcity world. And we're talking centuries after, right? The old series would have explained this in some way at least. Just lazy writing. Its more like Saved by the Bell in Space mate. Light entertainment if ppl like kind of thing. 🤷♂️

So you might be right re the intent of US broadcasters, but the interest is more about the decline of the US society.

I don't take much interest in watching news from American broadcasters. It was covered overseas pretty extensively as we generally look at it as a political murder. Which it was.

Well, that's Americans for you. Met plenty & they are generally nice enough. Unsure what's in the water there, but (& this is a generalisation on both sides), their opinion ls are always more important than the person they are talking to. Lack of humility. The list goes on. You're all the problem.

2 very good reasons. 1. It was a political killing. As in killing someone for their views and statements. 2. It got more coverage bc they/you are Americans. You are all as mad as cut snakes. You're all the problem. Name 1 first word nation that conducts themselves this manner?

Why would someone outside your country automatically know that term? See this the issue with you guys. You are so fucking insular & wouldn't know much about the rest of the world.

Magat? Had to look that up. It's an American term, I see. It's not relevant to me considering I'm not there. Plus Trumps a cunt. Something you seem to have in common with him.

You're like a child who thinks he's made up a funny word and uses it in every sentence. Or, in this case, post. Wood-duck. I can tell what the problem is, though. The one common denominator - all fucking Americans

Only in America. Too busy blaming each other without taking responsibility for the crap hole you've created. Name one 1st world country where this type of killing is the norm?

You're so busy blaming each other that no one takes any responsibility for the country you've created. I don't know of any other 1st world country, where this type of violence is the norm. Even if you got rid of the guns, you'd probably just find another method. You're all the problem.
