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

This episode was overall amazing and the B and C plots were complimentary communist tho lower key (decks). I had a bad day and thought episode 1 made me hyped lower decks was back, 2 made my bad day a good day. This one reminded me big time why. It's like getting a hug from space comrades. I'm gonna cry so much when this ends.

LD does the Trek bloomer thing better than any previous Trek, even TNG, which is why it's my all time favorite Trek.

It's in reaaaaaal close constest with tng for my 2 spot behind the unmoving ds9. The lack of episodes kinda makes the difference for me

Ds9 is falling in my estimation and has been for some time. It committed several grave sins, among them introducing latinum and section 31. It also has a strong dose of what @UlyssesT@hexbear.net might call "Adults In The Room Making Hard Choices"

I blocked that user prior to the fall, resurrection and sanctification and I'll keep it that way. Introducing Latinum and Section 31 are 'sins' I guess if you're a child who needs all their media to be didactic. Latinum is shown to only be valued by those who value it and those who don't use it don't seem any worse off, if anything better and section 31 was handled pretty well in ds9, later stuff may have done a bad job and it should have stayed in ds9 but that doesn't fault the show itself. It's got here and there issues but I kinda like that star fleet is shown fromsn outside perspective as kinda naive plant pompous jerks, cause they fucking are. I've got criticisms of the show but damn are they totally not the ones you have.

Not all media, but Star Trek specifically should be communist propaganda and any failure to be so is a failure to be good Star Trek.

Everything that is bad about the bad nutrek started with DS9.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

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.

What I want is Lower Decks, unlimited Lower Decks.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

The modern number of episodes per season is tragic in general

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

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.
