The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it’s basically a huge celebration.
This episode was overall amazing and the B and C plots were complimentary communist tho lower key (decks). I had a bad day and thought episode 1 made me hyped lower decks was back, 2 made my bad day a good day. This one reminded me big time why. It’s like getting a hug from space comrades. I’m gonna cry so much when this ends.
LD does the Trek bloomer thing better than any previous Trek, even TNG, which is why it’s my all time favorite Trek.
It’s in reaaaaaal close constest with tng for my 2 spot behind the unmoving ds9. The lack of episodes kinda makes the difference for me
Ds9 is falling in my estimation and has been for some time. It committed several grave sins, among them introducing latinum and section 31. It also has a strong dose of what @UlyssesT@hexbear.net might call “Adults In The Room Making Hard Choices”
