Even TOS isn't without its preachy nonsense, like: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Let_That_Be_Your_Last_Battlefield_(episode) https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Let_That_Be_Your_Last_B..., a "subtle metaphor" of racism and ethnic conflict.
- plugger 4y agoYea, I find the people who complain about Star Trek and its 'wokeness' who also state they are diehard fans confusing. TOS was very heavy handed in its progressiveness at the time. Uhara and Sulu were considered groundbreaking characters from a diversity perspective. I also agree about the uneven quality.
