Both Star Trek (indirectly) and Andromeda (directly by name, whole theme of the show in fact) attacked Nietzsche's ideas.
The movie Zardoz fully embraced the silliness of the philosophy to it's morbid outcome.
How do you compare Khan and the Eugenics Wars to Zardoz, or Andromeda for that matter?
Has the Trek World lost focus on examining Nietzsche's philosophy critically, or is it just "everything goes" so long as it involves Athiesm and fake science (explain to me how. warp drive works again, or subspace?) coupled with ships blasting one another in exreme close range (space is big guys, spread out a bit).
You talk to any freshman philosophy student, two things they know are Star Trek, and Nietzsche, and they don't begin to grasp how the two are supposed to be anthetical. Bunch of mouth breathers.
Frank Herbert's Dune embraced Nietzsche, but also sought to undue the presumptions intentionally formulated in the former novel in every sequal. Roddenberry, he opposed..... made it absolutely obvious in Andromeda, despite the writer for that show unfortunately being a fan of Nietzsche.
At what point will Star Trek reclaim this forgotten, central legacy to the franchise and start forcing people to think again? Is it all about the space battles, creating a make believe world culture of athiesm, and big tit bimbos with too much plastic surgery now?
Seriously, that's all I see in Star Trek anymore. They need to just make a new series based on the USS Nietzsche, as some big titty captain jumps up in down in battles, while her ship blows holes through enemy formations, and everyone claps when she cries out God Is Dead, we're finally a advance civilization based on science and reason!!!!! Keep jumping, keep jumping......
Really, does Star Trek have a future in returning back to philosophical criticism Do Gene Roddenberry's ideas have any import going forward? Should we all just give up and light ourselves on fire as the captain on the bridge whips out her jump rope?
