![]() It doesnt matter that you literally cannot show the face of Earth and highlight the African continent without showing corners of Europe, India, the ME, or Antarctica. It was a VERY beat you over the head symbol to show how racist and woke it is. This is perfectly encapsulated in the final moments when the show shows just how black its cast is and doubles down in one of the final scenes looking at earth and showing this predominantly PC cast that just saved future Earth highlights the face of the globe impossibly shows Earth presenting Africa and exclusively Africa. The problem is for all the good the back half of Season 4 did it cannot undo how absolutely Season 1 of TNG unwatchable the first half is and while you could start to forget how bad that was and think it was getting on the proper heading, The show creators took the final episode of the season and used it to remind everyone just how much STD is not about Trek so much as it is about treking to push a very clear racist sociopolitical agenda. Though its far from the course correction Picard made to make itself the true torch bearer of Trek now. The second half did a good job of making it into something that did genuinely feel like Trek. They managed to B plot a barely serviceable season arc in the first half. ![]() Trying to ham fistedly force feed melodrama instead of much of anything science or exploration related. So its first half was pointlessly meandering around psychology and sorrow. The first half was about exploring romantic relationships no one has any reason to care about. Its not so much about exploring space, Or even exploring humanity. That said It was predominantly the first half of season four that is the primary problem. I have watched it get progressively better each season. First and foremost I speak not as one of the early detractors complaining about how this wasnt "Gene's Vision" I have seen the potential in STD since the first season.
