Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Scotty, the rest of the crew, and their adventures in the far reaches of a universe that was, on film, stuffed with far more meaning and moments of sophomoric enlightenment than was the real universe of hard choices, ugly truths, and mindless cruelty.
This is a hard truth sometimes. We watch or read fiction and think of how enlightened it is but the ugly truth is not enlightenment especially as we are experiencing right now.
