  • I’m sorry, it is a liberal series that regularly ran up against the restraints of reactionary TV heads and was limited in what it could say. This is the series that couldn’t get a gay character on TV after The Golden Girls.

    And that’s not an insult or to say TNG/DS9 is bad, they’re two of my favorite shows ever. Past Tense is a fantastic two parter that has genuine anger towards the way the weakest in our society are treated. But it’s not claiming to support redistribution. What does Sisko call for? “More jobs, better jobs”. A vague sense of equal opportunity instead of a dismantling of wage slavery, even from the standpoint of someone who lived in a world that progressed beyond it.

    It’s not a franchise with revolutionary spirit because it doesn’t reckon with what it would take politically to get to the federation. That’s why they “hand wave” it away by saying the spirit of the Federation came out of WW3/the eugenics wars.
