The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it’s basically a huge celebration.

    Most star trek isn’t good communist propaganda. Ds9 has the bell riots and Bar Association as well as endorsing terrorism as a liberation tactic. Id say it’s a hell of a lot more communist propaganda than most of star trek. Do you want tng’a first Teo seasons? Cause that seems to be what you’re asking for here.

        That’s fair and me too, if it wasn’t gonna come in at less episodes than 3 seasons of tng I’m sure it’d easily surpass tng. I feel this with most shows but like decks especially would have benefitted from alike 5 more episodes per season, more room for ideas and less pressure to cram it all into one episode, comedy is better ejen given dome breathing space plot wise

            The network 25 standard was for sure too much for staff at the time buuuuut they also had to turn it around each year 10 episode shows are getting double that time. 15 a year or 20 every 2 seems like a reasonable compromise. I really miss when a serialized show was still.comprised of episodes with their own stories and the big plot was kinds here and there in between with big plot episodes coming like 6 times a season.

              I don’t think it’s as simple as episodic good serialized bad but a lot of the heavily serialized shows now seem to feel the need to raise the stakes to absurd levels to justify their own structure.
