This is one of my posts where I “review” Star Trek episodes. I will be giving each one a star rating. I sometimes will make some comments about non-political parts of them that I like or don’t like. I’ll sometimes use the issues raised in the episode to discuss similar issues in real life. And I will sometimes simply high-light the progressive politics of ST. ST is in-line with the three original themes of this blog, as I explain in the first ST post where I offer some general thoughts about ST.
I’m not very familiar with The Original Series and there might be some small amount of material there that would affect what I say about Star Trek (i.e. how often religion is mentioned)
Lastly. multi-culturalism is such a pervasive theme in ST that I only comment on it when it goes beyond the norm (i.e. inter-species partners).
“The Bonding” See this for a plot summary.
A non-political episode. I give it two stars out of five.
“Booby Trap” See this for a plot summary.
A non-political episode. I give it two stars out of five.
“The Enemy” See this for a plot summary.
A non-political episode. I give it two stars out of five.
“The Price” See this for a plot summary.
A non-political episode. But it does lay the basis for a Voyager episode about 5 years later.
I give it two stars out of five.
