Mike : I get what they're doing they're doing some modern-day politics

Rich : It also destroys Star Trek

Mike : it destroys that the core ideas of the Federation and I think like Patrick's tour was like using the Starfleet or the Federation that that we see in Star Trek Picard is very different from the one from the next generation it's now evil and okay you're talking about America.

Rich: Star Trek has always done political analogies. but they have done it in a way where you still had your optimistic future. I always, I always loved that optimistic future about Star Trek. My favorite f*king moment in Star Trek is the Abraham Lincoln space episode, as corny as that is. But you have Abraham Lincoln other bridge the enterprise and he uses an outdated offensive term to uhura and fake space Lincoln being a kind man looks to her and apologizes. Uhura is utterly confused by this for a moment and then she realizes what happened and she laughs and it's a beautiful fking moment. Because stats in the Federation, humanity, is so good in the future, racism is so dead, she doesn't even know to be offended it's such a thing of the past that it's completely forgotten about, it's this wonderful bright vision of a humanity that made it. it's something we can look forward to it, fk it's inspiring to me and now we're coming along and they're a bunch of fkin xenophobes and racist, f*k that, stop shitting on Star Trek.
