Despite being a loud minority, "Star Trek" has always been inherent political. When the "original series" first aired in the mid-1960s, well, I hope I should not fill anyone for what was happening in the United States at the time-the civil rights movement, the unfortunate war in Vietnam, numerous assassinations and much more. The decade has been a long moment of social twists and political turmoil, and creator Ein Birth of Budis has chosen wisely not to be ashamed of solving reality about his low-budget science fiction show. That is not to say that the franchise has always been Successful In its ambitions, of course. Even the most advanced attempts to talk about racial or gender inequality and other progressive values Through the Star Trek Universe has not always landed. But like any good scientific story, "Star Trek" is defined by the use of the future to reflect our present ... and "strange new worlds" do not differ.

As fans look forward to the release of "Strange New Worlds" Season 3, last month in Yorkyork premiere (which he attended) gave the cast and crew a perfect opportunity to take a look at the series's bird's eyes as a whole. The previous show was not shy to pay tribute to the "original series" in numerous ways, but co-showner Akiva Goldsman was unwavering to do so in a special way. During the special event for Q&A after the premiere of Season 3, Goldsman was asked to remove the Playbook Roddenberry page and use "Strange New Worlds" to reflect the wildly imperfect world we now live in. After responding with perfectly dead ”yes, the world suck“Goldsman continued to explain:

"It's very interesting. 1968: It's Bobby Kennedy, it's Martin Luther King, it's (the massacre of my laymen). It's a point of penetration in history. It's just (history history) for us, but the world was in fire, then, those who lived in it. And that was the tradition of "Star Trek" until its inception, that is to throw a lens on the social situation on the market. "

As we know, Paramount announced that "Strange New Worlds" would end with fourth and shortened fifth seasonSo that there is even more pressure to make the remaining live episodes according to the franchise standards. Despite all the rooms of Zani and Fun Tricks with which the show writers appear on a weekly basis, the series has repeatedly found a way to weave social comment in the middle of the action. Don't expect that to change in the upcoming third season (Which /film Jacecob Hall reviewed here).

Akiva Goldsman had more to say about maintaining the series perfectly in accordance with its original statement about the mission and how playing in different genres allows the show to explore all the idealism inherent in the material. However, inevitably, it requires that it raise its sleeves and deal with the worst aspects of society - even in (supposedly) a utopian future. He continued to think about how all those topics that the "original series" have tackled all those years remain "timely" today, for better or worse:

"It's immigration, it's marginalization, it's integration, it's abuse of power - all things that, unfortunately, are timely today as they were.

"So, that's what" Star Trek "does. That's what we're trying to do in the service of" Star Trek "because we're the kind of rent. So, we try to keep Wallsids clean and painted and the windows to be clean and try to continue serving what makes the best "Star Trek", which is an optimistic, aspirational view of the future; The idea that hope is still alive. "

I don't know about you, but it all sounds like music on the ears of this trays. And if Those not so subtle hints that "strange new worlds" can continue in another form It came true, I hope to see this creative team channel the spirit of the "original series" to an even greater degree.
