/strek/ - Star Trek

So you're saying it's speculation?

I also like how the prime directive was blatantly ignored here, the prime directive isn't supposed to just apply to pre-warp civilizations. they use this excuse for not fucking with the klingon/romulan governments multiple times.

>AKA: The 'we need a reason that the heroes can't just fix things with a negative, polarity reversed, transwarp induction thingamajiggy' Directive.

>AKA: The 'Star Trek always does this, the fans will love it, right?' Directive.

It's one of the more overused and hacky plot conveniences, but it can be made to serve an interesting part of the lore if you assume it was Star Fleets way of making sure their captains actually did their job rather than running off to play god with the natives on planet Shi'thole VII.

if it's an AIDS allegory, it's a flimsy one. and in the review he even says how they would normally be all in favor with assisted suicide on star trek, if not for the progressive stack (AIDS being gawd's punishment for being gay etc).

not quite. he's being more fair to it than most anyone else here would be (he does have to pull his punches when it comes to sjw darlings it seems), but he slams it when it's undeniably called for.
