Some of the TNG movies were good - First Contact and Nemesis. And that series was trying to find some ground.

DS9 was okay, and Voyager had some commendable aspects to it as well. I've liked what I have seen from Enterprise as well.

The only thing that's a real bummer was killing off Data. BAD MOVE, Berman. VERY BAD MOVE.

Is that the one where the 20th Century Roman government is trying to oppress a sun cult which turns out to be the "Son" cult?

IIRC, the mini-series V was pro-Christian.

Of course War of the Worlds (the movie) was as pro-Christian as War of the Worlds (the book) was anti.

>>>And in another episode, a whole world has gone Gangsterland, reproducing 20's Chicago right down to the Thompson choppers and Packard getaway cars.

You speak of the episode called, "A Piece of the Action". It was one of many of the TOS episodes that worked within a very tight budget. The use of old Hollywood street sets was employed to save ca$h. It turned out to be a very enjoyable and funny ST.

Haven't been watching "Enetprise" lately. It doesn't hold up to the standards set by Gene Roddenbury in TOS, STNG or DS9. I think TPTB should have created a show that went into the future, instead of going back in time. Next time around, if there is a "next time", hopefully they'll do a better job.

Yup. And when Kirk and Co. discover that at the end of the episode, they're happy that the Word is getting out.

Yup. There's also the one where Kirk tells the Greek psuedo-god that they only worship one God.

What was pro-Christian in V. I remember the mini-series, but can't think of anything pro-Christian.

That's one of my all-time favorite Star Trek's.

But the best episode of them all, bar none (IMHO) is from TNG: it's the time-loop conundrum, in which Kelsey Grammer guests in a cameo.

The Best of Both Worlds: Parts 1 & 2 were the best episodes ever to come from Star Trek. ;^)

IIRC, there was a minister who was on the side of the resistance who had a meeting with the evil queen alien and almost talked her into accepting Christianity.

Labor would still be expensive .... this could be a post on it's own. How replicator based economies would work.

"Roddenberry wasn't shy about promoting good old-fashioned "Americanism"; one episode in the original series features a planet where people have somehow come into possession of a U.S. flag and a copy of the Constitution, courtesy of an errant space probe"

That was the writer's doing. Majel Barrett in an interview later described that episode as one of the more ridiculous ones in her view, and was agast at Kirk almost saluting the American flag at the end of that episode.

Hmm, maybe Computer Lady is the real Lefty in the Roddenberry shop?

The one's where the Borg invade the Federation, then capture and assimilate Picard.

I'm not ready for inter-planetary, inter-species miscegenation.

Spock is half-human and half-vulcan.
