I like Star Trek, despite my personal problems with its utopian depiction. I just take it as entertainment and pay no attention to the nonsense they try to teach you. The problem I guess is it is limited by its budget. They have no real choice but to depict aliens as they do despite the unrealism. I tend to go for the bad guys anyhow. Klingons, we're not interested in being friendly with aliens, we are trying to do what is best for us. The Dominion, how many times do we have to tell the Federation not to intrude in our space. We are peaceful explorers is not a valid excuse. The Borg, if all races are assimilated and made one they will no longer have conflict or make errors based on emotional responses rather than proper logic.
I much prefer the Mirror Universe, which is much closer to how I feel Terra should act, except of course enslaving aliens makes no sense when you could remove them as a threat for ever by destroying their homes.
I liked Voyager at times (my favourite episodes were Year of Hell) but I have to admit it was faulty from the start since the whole thing was based on a mistake. Why spend 7 years stranded when you could have gone home at the start and all it would have taken was to abandon a race which Voyager had no reason to care about in the first place.
by the way can anyone tell me if this fan film is mirror universe or not? I tried looking at the trailer but it stopped after about 20 seconds and I can't be bothered trying again.
ps. Best part of DS9: Getting the Romulans into the war. Finally some Realpolitics
