Why, Star Trek is basically that. Or at least used to be.
- TonyAlicea10 2y agoThis is true, in fact I thought about that when writing this post! But I think the Roddenberry's "no conflict" has been out of favor in storytelling for quite a while now. Star Trek is the exception. And not all Star Trek followed it.
- Tade0 2y agoThat's the part that stood out to me as the most fantastic. So many persons displaying enviable teamwork and professionalism. Science fiction!
- ben_w 2y agoI think this axis is also why I prefer Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds to Enterprise, Discovery, and Picard. The former, even when they have conflicts, it's something they're sad about; the latter, it feels like they enjoy jabbing each other.
