They basically yell this as the theme in your face during the crossover episode with lower decks.

I think it works fantastically as what we wish the world was like. And that’s what Star Trek needs to be. It’s hopeful. I was fucking sobbing on episode 2. Not because of beautiful writing or whatever, though it is VERY GOOD, just that someone addressing the fucking issues in a way that maybe there’s some hope to it.

The writers of this one really are trying to be hopeful during a really fucking terrible time and I think that is awesome.

I keep using the word “hope”. That’s the only one for it. It’s not positive. It’s not even optimistic. It’s hopeful. And that is enough to make me cry.

Edit: m’benga killed a fucking war criminal, in damn close to cold blood (a circumstance m’benga coerced in fact), and it was was played as good. It’s good fucking TV

    It’s the hope.

    Star Trek SNW is a world where things are getting better.

    Also the thing that finally clicked from this and Lower Decks… everyone WANTS to be working on the ships.

    Starfleet is not primarily a military organization, it’s an experience thing, as it’s not really about mapping space or doing SCIENCS or diplomacy, it’s all of it, a little bubble of people floating in space looking for interesting things and interacting.
