I like Star Trek because it's optimistic. I want to see competent, emotionally mature, people solving problems by working together.

If I want to see bad apples I can look outside.

Not just optimistic competence porn (which I like), but IMO hopeful. The original iterations actually inspired hope for a better future, something sorely lacking today and precious.

Reading 'Tease "Dark"' in the headline is an immediate turn off.

Sisko was never glorifying being dark. In the pale moonlight is a fantastic episode, but I don't remember it glorifying the darkness.

I don't know if it's glorifying anything, but the man bombs planets on star trek as a part of the federation.

It's hardly picard fighting for the rights of the nanobots eating the ship

A Federation officer can make a planet uninhabitable as a treat.

The good news is, the word "glorify" does not appear in this article.
