    I kinda want to know what she think Star Trek is about.

    The original had the first on screen interracial kiss.

    TNG is all about finding the best way to minimize suffering and uplift species so that Riker can sling dong

    Those are the only two series I watched. Can someone fill me in on DS9? Is there like a rad fascist crew?

      DS9 says that terrorism is cool and good sometimes using an alien race formerly under a 50 year brutal Carassian occupation thst the writers said in interviews was analogous to the struggle of the Palestinians. Ds9 also has an episode where a main character leads a strike and quotes Marx. The captain travels back to this year and sparks a revolution over the homeless crisis in the most prescient piece of Sci fi ever, it was written in 1992. Garak is a queer icon and Jadzia/Ezri Dax are trans icons. Deep Space Nine is the most left wing Trek until Lower Decks happened. Also watch DS9, it’s absolutely amazing.
