Kind of yeah, but Gene Roddenberry used allegories like the half black and half white dudes who hated each other - which took more effort than having characters just walk around in the present saying, “Wow, look at all the social injustice.”
Hey, i’m an old fart and guess how many times i heard people say that exact same shit about TNG? The pussy version of trek, nothing like its predecessor, all they do is talk about their emotions!
Your friend clearly does not appreciate the Picard maneuver of straightening the shirt, or the Riker maneuver of throwing one leg over the chair to sit
LOL I think it was only after about 3 episodes of season 1. He was very down on the whole idea of revamping Star Trek with new characters. I have to admit I wish they hadn’t kept reusing the ship name Enterprise. Voyager breaking that pattern was a good thing.

Yeah he was real subtle. Not full of preachy monologues at all.

I’m an old fart too. I had a friend who said all they did on TNG was sit up straight and say, “Engage.”

to say nothing of Star Trek IV
“Double dumbass on you!”
Because that’s what you had to do to get past the executives and the censors in the 1960s.
Just like how “Last Train to Clarksville” is about Vietnam.
TIL. That is a really subtle reference (at least from the perspective of somebody born a couple of decades after the fact, anyway).
Yeah, but the executives were terrified of any and all conflict. That’s why so many shows of that era are incredibly bland.
That was an allegory??? (/s)
