If you’re online whining that Pink Floyd, Star Trek, and Star Wars have ‘gOnE wOke’ then you were never a fan of any of those things.

@godpod I need to watch more ST Discovery, it seemed far more gritty than the other series, but was still pretty good.

@zleap @godpod Discovery was great. And ST was always what is now called woke.

@SteveClough @godpod

It was great, it had so many firsts that showed Gene Roddenberry was ahead of his time, A big thank you to @georgetakei and everyone else for giving us so many memories and insights in to the future.

@SteveClough @godpod

Out of interest ho many seasons of Discovery were there, I think about 4, but not fully sure.

@zleap @godpod en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Tre WIki says 5. Not sure how many I have seen - most of then, I believe. Not always in the correct order.

@SteveClough @zleap @godpod Star Trek was always as woke as it could get away with at the time it was made, and about as subtle as a sledghammer about it too. But I guess some people really were just watching it for the pretty spaceships and ray guns.

And to be fair, the spaceships are very pretty...

@StrangeNoises @SteveClough @godpod

I think gene roddenberry had a good vision for the future where people just worked together to further understanding of the universe and deal with problems without always resorting to violence.

Some of the tech used has even come to pass in some form or other, video conferencing, communicators, all we need now is transporters.
