Revisiting one of Star Trek’s most political episodes, “Past Tense”, set in 2024
- hindsightbias 9y agoMeh. Space-hero from future saves the past because current folk can't do it. Timeline-ism. Why I hate Superheroes so much - we need them because we can't do it ourselves. All characters that enforce apathy and self-image issues. And where that isn't enough, we'll just throw tech at it. Presumably in DS9, the enlightened Bashir would just point a Tricorder at you and solve racism, bigotry, mental-health and addiction. We're not going anywhere with these heroes.
