Thank you. History does not repeat but it does rhyme. It is surreal to see how quickly our norms have eroded in a year. It’s horrible but need a mirror held up to us. We need to change, confront racism, all the isms, and be true to our principles of equality and freedom for all. #WeShallOvercome

How is it possible in each generation, we have immediate fans and enemies when shows start hit the love grows as time passes? That is a strange cycle. #StarTrek @startrekfamily.bsky.social

Also, I’ve been thinking. No Trek show was well received when it first came out, correct? Nana Visitor said to give DS9 1-2 decades and it would make sense. She was right—it’s now seen as the best Trek. Is it possible Trek has two fan groups: sci-nerds and sci-fi nerds of culture?

You and @elittlechild.bsky.social always balance being fans with truth-telling. Third, For the “Cause,” not the Uniform. :)
As usual, grateful for your voices and insights into the world of Star Trek. Waving at you both from this side of pond.

listening to you, you are correct: this is an episode, not a documentary. It doesn’t rule explain Starfleet & Ortegas’ brother isn’t the one to tell the story. Your journey in the video is a big reason why I watch Trek Culture.

My goodness! This is a tough one!

They are all layered and just good story-telling. No politics in those at all. 😳🤣

This…thank you for this reminder. I’ve been saying “If Obama…” but the fact is, he didn’t and wouldn’t. He will go down as the last president before it descended into complete chaos with 45/47. 🤦🏽♂️
