I occasionally think that I should just collect a masterpost of overtly politicalΒ things that have happened in theΒ Star TrekΒ franchise and be prepared to throw it at the next person who tries to argue that DiscoveryΒ or whatever shouldn’t be political.

And then I realize that I’d probably be on the hook for massive copyright infringement because (say it with me)

Star Trek

was

explicitly

and overtly

political

from the very beginning

and has never stopped.

It wasn’t always good–it was frequently hamhanded, corny, schmaltzy, and a whole grocery store of other food-related (and not food-related) adjectives–but it is far easier to remove quality from Star TrekΒ than politics.

Everything I Learned About About Lawful Good Activism I Learned From Captain Jean-Luc Picard

it was frequently hamhanded, corny, schmaltzy, and a whole grocery store of other food-related (and not food-related) adjectives – That’s the thing, Star Trek isn’t even the least bit subtleΒ about its politics. Its metaphors and parallels are about as on-the-nose as you can get.
