    TOS was very progressive for the '60s, but TNG, VOY, and ENT were significantly less progressive for their time.

    It’e also been a trend that’s unfortunately carried over into the newer treks. They barely push the boundaries at all.

    DS9 probably only got away with as much as they did because Voyager was commanding most of the attention at the time.

      That’s why I really cringe each time Kurtzman and Co are giving themselves golden stars and patting themselves on the back about things that were either already done in Star Trek before, or are already socially accepted.

      And, moreover, all this so-called progresivism they’re doing is an incredibly thin veil wrapped around a ball of generic action sci-fi writing.
