ALL Star Trek is underrated.
Star Trek should have been the property that influences the entire culture of the United States of America, like how Doctor Who influences the culture of the United Kingdom. Instead, US culture is based around Star Wars and Star Trek is regulated to a bunch of punchlines that normal people know just enough to understand.
This is a hot take out of, like, 1979. The general public hasn't had this relationship to Trek in a long ass time.
Star Wars is a story about how America is bad and fascism can be defeated through the power of taoist philosophy. That doesn't sound like the currently dominant American value system to me
I honestly don't care
