    Their brains should be studied for science. How are they not crushed under the weight of their own contradiction?

      It might partially be that Worf’s suggestion to shoot first and ask questions later tends to be the solution.

      Or that TOS was progressive for the '60s but we caught up and passed it.

      Or that Berman, who ran the franchise for the '90s shows, was actually pretty conservative and progressive messages had to be almost snuck past him.

        Sadly some TOS seem progressive by today’s standards because the GOP dragged society that far back.

        I wonder if one day we’ll say “Remember when Blade was a black guy? Ah the woke years.”

        I shudder at the thought
