Computer: “Counselor Troi has been notified.”

On the one hand: no matter what you replicate it’s ethical, nutritious, and good for you. There are literally no bad choices for your body.

On the other: you have access to a bottomless culinary database that spans innumerable diets, cultures, broad swaths of history… and you order Chef Boyardee’s finest with a few saltines. I think it’s time to talk to the ship’s counselor, because nobody should be eating struggle meals in a post-scarcity society.

mercury,

Struggle meals have a charm, honestly. Its simple, if I had billions of dollars I’d still eat it.

But what if I want to eat trash food that’s bad for my body to punish myself for having the audacity to continue to exist?

dejected_warp_core,

Computer: That option does not exist in the replicator database. Please seek medical attention if you are contemplating self-harm.

DS9 dabbled into politics in ways the other series never did, to the point of a culture conflict, war, genocide, oppression, occupancy, etc.

And don’t forget Miles O’Brien, union man. Or Quark’s employees forming a union for that matter

grte,

Star Trek has been very political since the original series.

TNG is a great place to begin. It’s usually what I recommend to anyone who hesitates to start the original. It matures the series and gets into the philosophy of trek more.

You can always go back to TOS later if you really get into the whole universe of Trek. It’s light-hearted and campy, the characters are cultural icons, and it’s fun to see where everything got started.

There doesn't exist sci fi that isn't political. Even space opera and strange fiction is political.

Going to be that person and suggest the OP try Voyager.

It seems to be the most accessible of the older shows for younger, newer viewers. It was the most watched of all the classic shows on Netflix.

It covers all the classic tropes and provides endless fodder for memes here.

It’s uneven throughout its entire run, but also has some of the very best episodes ever. New fans really attach to the characters, and there’s no refuting that it unabashedly leaned into the weird.

Star Trek going woke again, who would seriously allow women to wear clothes, let alone earn profit. Disgusting!

Picard isn’t an idiot and knows it doesn’t take long to rotate a crystal.

xusontha,

All you gotta do is poke it with a stick and it’ll be “repositioned”
