  • Star Trek - "Turnabout Intruder" - This Aged Great!

    From Ubiquitous@weberm@polaris.net to rec.arts.tv,alt.startrek.tos,alt.tv.star-trek.tos,rec.arts.sf.tv,rec.arts.startrek.misc on Tue Feb 3 04:30:43 2026

    Star Trek the original series was an elaborate science fiction metaphor
    for how it feels to be a man who's afraid of commitment. Because if you
    think about it, every episode they beam down to a new planet and
    they're like, "Well, this is exciting and fun. I've never felt more
    alive." And then at some point they learn more about it and they're
    like, "We got to get the out of here. This is horrible."

    A generic episode has Kirk finding a seeming paradise, challenging and
    killing its god-leader, then telling the populace that they'll be
    happier anyway if they live the way he says they should. Prime
    Directive? What Prime Directive?
