I loved TNG, but it is also one of the most outrageously politically correct and moral relativist shows I've ever watched. And Voyager was even worse. One particularly sorry episode featured Janeway willing to sacrifice members of her crew, just to avoid turning off a holodeck that spawned interesting characters. In another episode, the captain would again rather let crewman die than use a medical treatment derived from historical unethical research. One episode of TNG comes to mind, where Picard is unwilling to beam a kid from his crew out of prison on some ass backwards totalitarian planet, where they are planning to execute him, because of the prime directive and "respect for their laws". Are you kidding me? Of course in the show, there's always some deus ex machina that saves the day and none of the good guys have to die. In fiction, you can have your cake and eat it too. In real life, bad decisions have real consequences, like people dying. Another line comes to mind now, where Picard wonders in amazement about how silly we were to let differences about "economic systems" drive us apart during the Cold War. Star Trek is like the poster child for wishy-washy moral relativism. I'll take my political and moral cues from reality, not fun scifi shows written by an eccentric with a political agenda.
