And has all been seen before in just about every iteration of Trek from the get-go.
Scotty Drinking
Data and Ambassador St. John Talbot Smoking
Plants that Drug Colonists into a euphoric state ... etc ...
I do have a problem if they over use the F word (I personally cuss casually in the real world but I dont know what teh BBS rules are about) occasionally its fine but overuse of makes it meaningless gives it no punch
ah thank you I personnel dont care about the other F word but I now that some people do and i respect that others do
I agree on this point.
I do agree on that stupid pointless fan service is even worse when you are not a part of the group being "serviced" too. Tho probably not as bad as ENT tho
The Zhat Vash got to you too, apparently.
I read the whole thing. He behaved himself.You're on the honor system, so I'll trust that you didn't slip anything objectionable in there.
Ok, what exactly is Star Trek's glorious vision of the future?
Racist humans insulting Vulcans with impunity?
Countless colonies on the verge of disaster and people living in fear and chaos?
Pirates and criminal gangs operating everywhere humanity goes?
Sexist starship captains who consider leaving the career to become one of said pirates or see no issue with forcing themselves on women?
Starfleet forcibly transporting people to arranged marriages for political expedience?
Starfleet admirals who'd rather commit murder to provoke war than find peace with Klingons?
Gene Rodenberry didn't even create the Federation, it was Gene Coon who did that and the idea of an aspirational Utopian future driving him is very much revisionism. Revisionism which he encouraged after the fact because it generated a following and made him money whilst he disregarded the extent to which his fame, his "legend", was a result of other people's work.
TOS showed no such future, nor in truth did TNG for that matter, but people have since internalised the urban myth that it did despite all the onscreen evidence. People disregard the dirty, crime ridden, violent setting they see on the screen and parrot this myth of a perfect future and a humanity which has evolved beyond it's primal nature which was simply never there onscreen. That's fine in so far as it goes, but to level it as a criticism against new versions of the show when they fail to live up to this imaginary standard is unfair to say the least, not to mention robbing one's self of the opportunity to judge and enjoy the show with an open mind.

None are mentioned in dialogue but the LCARS display of Raffi's son's vital stats shows that he was born on a stardate in the 51000 range and other stardates in his file fall within the 52000 range.
Yeah, I guess...

Maybe Two.
