Trek has no problem attempting to foresee future technology, politics and even sports, but arts & entertainment are rarely broached.<br /><br />Given how silly their future sports are though, maybe that's a mercy.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-82960970710931724502017-11-14T09:24:48.176-04:002017-11-14T09:24:48.176-04:00The party illustrated one of my biggest peeves wit...The party illustrated one of my biggest peeves with most modern Star Trek: a lack of contemporary pop culture (same problem I have with The Orville). Aside from the occasional mention of a holosuite program from Quark or Jake's novelist aspirations, pop culture doesn't seem to exist otherwise.<br /><br />I know that no one wants to try to predict music or other entertainment will be in 300 years, but at least try, even if its cheesy (see the Gil Gerard Buck Rogers TV series).<br /><br />--DeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
