I am not a fan of Star Trek in its early years. Star Trek does not interest me because I do not understand what the movie or show is about. Also, it was filmed over 30 years before I was born. I am usually not interested in movies that are 20 years older than I am unless the movie is a genre that I prefer.

At a point in time where the cowboys were falling from the small screen and science fiction was on the rise. However, there has and never been and will never another be a program as well known as Star Trek. The first time the show aired, it only saw 3 years before NBC canceled the show, and almost 20 years went past before it re-aired in its new
The thing that most startled me when I started watching Star Trek, the Original Series, for this paper was the costumes. The women’s uniform is a very short mini-dress that looks like a cheerleader’s outfit, while the man wear body conscious but not revealing pants and sweatshirts.

Janeway made the morally right decision. First, I will spend time briefly explaining the general scope of the episode. Next, I will mention Mill and Kant to support my conclusion. Then, I will argue for my answer by comparing what happened in the Star Trek episode to what is morally correct using Mill’s Utilitarianism and Kant’s ideas of morality. Tuvix has the memories of both Neelix and Tuvok, but he has a single consciousness. At first, they cannot find a reason for the malfunction that combined
sci-fi culture phenomenon would agree that their precious saga is nothing like its counterpart. I however, share a deviating perspective and would argue that these two fantasy realms are, in fact, homogeneous. In a myriad of ways, Star Wars and Star Trek go hand-in-hand when one visualizes “space travel and adventure”.

If you’re on the ship-apart of the Federation that means that you are qualified and fit for duty
