Why do you like Star Trek? (Patreon)

We all like or love Star Trek a lot, or we wouldn't be here.  I wouldn't be writing a Star Trek fanfiction and you wouldn't be reading my story if you didn't.

I came across this video on TikTok and it really resonated with me, so I had to share it.  Once you watch it you might think that's ironic coming from me, considering my story has a modern 20th century human in Gothic who largely thinks humanity and the people of the Federation are happily drinking the Kool-Aid.

Gothic spends a lot of thinking Starfleet is full of idiots who could be doing things so much better and that they better get their act together if they're going to survive the Dominion. That's absolutely true.  But Gothic also greatly respects the great strides Earth has made, how well they've recovered from the wars that nearly ended the species, how they've eliminated hunger and poverty and life is damn good on Earth, etc.  That's why he's willing to help Section 31.

So, watch this video and tell me what you think or just share your reaction.  Is the message of hope what attracted you to the mythology in the first place?  Or was it something else?  Or do you think this guy (and me) is full of shit??  :-)
