moneyless socialist utopia

I mean, we all know that’s what it is, but I’m pretty sure that’s the first time they’ve said it straight out in universe. And then the plot reminds of it several times as that very thing is put in danger.

    Its a pattern in New Trek. PIC said the replicators make food that tastes like shit, then DIS said they are made from shit! I mean to be fair, even DS9 tried at times to weaken the replicator but it didnt go this far. Writers just tend to hate the concept for some reason.

      People complaining about how the replicator’s blandly perfect food and sometimes reliability goes back at least to TNG. It is not new.

        Yes writers wrote weaknesses in the replicators back then, which was a continuity issue even back then, but they didnt go as far as saying it tastes like shit and is made from literal shit.
