    "inconsistent moderation"
    I see more of the above BS today. In General:
    BKB
    Liberal Judges will never go for the death penalty. It's like they're trying to phase this out for whatever reason."
    Clearly political and anti-liberal.

      you can have a diverse cast without trying to push racist politics on kids or engage in moral grandstanding
      you can also have a non-diverse cast with woke garbage
      the thing about wokies is that you can't tell the difference because you're racist. you think diverse = woke and not diverse = racist. kys!

        Not in 1960s America when 99% of series were all-white!!! What Gene did by having a diverse cast was completely radical.
        There was plenty of moral grandstanding and racial moralizing and politics in the original Star Trek. Did you watch the original series?

          it wasn't that radical. 90% of the cast was white.
          and they had a magic negro which is considered pretty racist
          but the fact is they were able to have a more diverse cast without moral grandstanding, and that's why people didn't mind it
          remove the moral grandstanding and people don't care about the skin color of the cast. except for racist woketards like you.

            Listen to last names, too! They had Hispanic crewmembers. And a Russian crewmember on the bridge during the Cold War is very radical, too. Also, Asian actors.
            Gene had to fight for a diverse cast. I don't believe they wanted a black man on the Bridge, so Gene insisted on a black woman.
            MORAL GRANDSTANDING:
            "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield" episode:

            I standby my OP. Star Trek was ALWAYS Woke That's a great thing!

              it's not woke. it doesn't preach morals. in fact there's a never ending supply of moral grey areas in old star trek and that's what makes any good sci-fi worth watching.
              woke doesn't do grey areas. woketards have decided what is morally allowed and anything else is unforgiveable.

                  no it doesn't. at no point do they preach morals to the viewer. they describe a situation where you might assume racism has caused a major conflict, but they don't explicitly say that. the enterprise does not make a judgement and doesn't assume either is morally correct or not correct. that decision is left up to the viewer.

                            It often does get explained to you, but you then go into rationalization mode. It just gets exhausting rather than productive.

                              where was it explained?
                              so far the only statement they made was "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield proves you're wrong."
                              saying something doesn't make it true. an explanation is required. logic must be applied. an argument must be formed.
                              since I'm the only one that has been able to explain why it's not woke, then I am the only one who has made a credibly claim.

                                Trek was a post-scarcity egalitarian future.
                                Everything after Enterprise has just been trying to freeload off the ideals established by Trek.
                                I thought 09 was fun, it should have been left there

                                  I thought anything after Gene's TNG.
                                  This new series feels like a Gene series. And I'm willing to watch past Trek series and episodes to understand the messaging better.

                                    I personally say if it's not on the Enterprise (Whichever version) it's not for me
                                    That said, DS9 was a good show and encompassed the ideals of Trek with a more sustained leaning into politics. Rather than going boldly it let things come to it. A nice pivot. Voyager was crap and there's no telling me otherwise

                                      I never watched all of the Trek episodes after TNG. I read Trekonimics and Star Trek Ethics books which have me a new appreciation about what each series was trying to accomplish and what the characters' motivations were. I plan to watch Discovery, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise to see what I missed.
                                      Whew! I'm going to be busy.

                                        Well, apart from Discovery. I only watched the first 2 seasons but that was proper guff

                                          I didn't watch Discovery, but hard-core Trekkies tell me they like it so I'm going to watch it. I think season 3 is when the series becomes good.
