  • While I do agree that TOS looked dated even when I was a kid I don’t know if we should redo TOS just for updating it’s sake. I don’t remember how far into the 5 year mission TOS starts but I would be happy to get episodes before or after it. My main point is that I think society is at a different place and our science fiction should represent that. I think some of the great TOS episodes hit so hard because we understand our society having that problem and it gives us solutions to our own struggles. While many of the social issues of the late 60’s are still prevalent and it seems like American (I’m not American) is backsliding on a lot of things such as Women’s Rights I would still like these issues looked at from where we are today and not where we were in the 60’s.

    TL:DR Science fiction is an abstraction of our society and I want our Sci-fi to abstract 20XX and not 1960’s.
