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).

If you want to make a point you can do so without needing to bash newer Treks for absolutely no reason. Just tired of this petty behavior. I'm out. I've got no time for this nonsense.

You should watch The Orville, it’s like Star Trek with the training wheels taken off.

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.
