I’m a zoomer and thought I’d check It out since all of the moderns stuff is kinda nihilistic and dumbed down dialogue and plot wise. If anyone’s got any recommends I’d like to hear them.

    It doesn’t shy away from glorifying former “terrorists”, even putting one character into a prominent leadership position after her former days of resistance activity.

    easy pre-9/11 media win. there’s even two back to back terrorism episodes of tng and i think we’re still behind that mentality from like 1991

      Totally, you could see the shift so distinctly in Enterprise. I was sort of baffled how much it became like a 24 with Jack Bauer in space, the primary mission being protecting Earth from some mysterious foreign threat, with ‘enhanced interrogation’ and all.
