      Not complying with requests is not the same as imposing your morality. Nopping out of the contact with some population because they believe your people must be killed won’t destroy their culture.

      But then, yeah, the show would have to contain hard decisions, and would be completely different from Star Trek (at least the newer ones).

          To be fair, I would probably hate a series like Star Trek but with the hard decisions. (I don’t like TOS and it’s only minimally less utopian.)

          But I’m looking into this one. I have the impression it’s a comedy?

            It has comedic elements, but I wouldn’t call it a comedy. It’s hard for me to describe honestly. Perhaps an homage to trek? A lot of trek fans enjoyed it, some going to far as to say it was “more trek” than discovery.

            They also have a lot of trek cast members make guest appearances, which is always a treat.

      Yeah but the principle of it is to let them evolve on their own, when you’re already on their planet and they try to kill one of you then it’s different rules.

      If it wasn’t then the romulans could just announce their new law makes being human illegal and Starfleet would just have to power down their shields and let them kill us all.

          No you’ve just got it compartmentalized in your head into happy little feel good boxes because you don’t want to think about the actual complexity of reality (well fictional reality)

          It’s insane not because it’s a bad comparison but because it makes clear the insanity in your worldview (or galactic view I guess)
