It took me quite some time to decide to post this here instead of in Entertainment.

If you don't know what the Kobayashi Maru is, this will likely not be something that interests you. It is steeped (Earl Grey, hot) in Trek lore but makes some very insightful points about geopolitics.

Fair warning, as someone in his 40s: The cinematography is somewhat jarring. Everything is always moving and cuts from the narrator momentarily seated to walking around with the camera not just following but moving around, which gets somewhat grating over the course of nearly an hour.

Still, this is an interesting take on what Star Trek in its various forms portrays -- or at least attempts to portray.

In all honesty, I don't go there, as they're an extension of the subreddit. Pointing out the failures in, say, Discovery makes me a bigot.
