Tumbling Thru

Nonsense from the mind of Emil

wilwheaton:

Sigh. The whole point of Star Trek is that it’s philosophical. If you don’t want philosophical Science Fiction, there’s plenty of that for you to enjoy, but Star Trek is philosophical. Philosophy is part of Star Trek’s DNA, and if you’re given the captain’s chair, you’d better damn well respect that.

Well, “Wagon Train to the Stars” may have gotten a decent rating ‘back in the day’, but today’s box office doesn’t lie.  People dig less philosophical Trek.

As for me, if I want a philosophical Star Trek, I can call William Shatner and ask him about dogs, horses, or flight school.  :)
