16. Star Trek is our first big myth of the modern century, IMO.

Next came Star Wars. An argument could be made for Stranger in a Strange Land being first... even religions have arisen based around the latter. But whereas Star Wars never glossed over evil and, in some ways, saw it triumph... Star Trek never lost the diversity and inclusivity that Roddenberry fought to include. Even the first interracial kiss! At a time when Desi and Lucy were still sleeping in separate beds. And tho we introduced what I call the "dark side" of Star Trek in the series Picard, and to some extent in
Discovery... Strange New Worlds is back to keeping with the original motif, IMO.

Elmo and friends have no business anywhere around Star Trek. They can't grok it (yes, I know!)... it's a totally alien concept to their internal life... and they'll never "get it" if they live to be 100!
