Dyskolos

Indeed. I was unfair of me to pick only one favourite, as there are more candidates :)

Exactly!

Oh yes, this one too of course!

I really really dig the fuckaround/findout. It paints the try/catch with a more dreadful undertone and reeks of mystery.

I don’t get your point. When they went into existence, it was a search-engine. It just did that and it did it very well. Nothing else compared slightly. No javascript, no tracking, no portal, no ads, no shit. just results.

“If not them, then someone else”. Yes sure. If there’s something to exploit, it will be exploited. People are shit. But we’re talking about google :)

Nah, they were great when they came into existence. 'No ads, no portal, no nothing, just a search-engine". That was their sub-motto (freely quoted from memory). When the results had a time-spent on it to awe at their incredible speed AND accuracy. Before them, searching the web was annoyingly annoying.

But the moment the “don’t be evil” fell, shit continuously went downhill. Maybe even before, more unnoticed, surely went gradually.

Nowadays it’s even a bad search-engine, except you’re looking to buy something.

I’d say it’s about a lovely utopia where everyone is equal, money and poverty are gone and progression of humanity itself became the main driving force of everyone.

Besides that it’s about many encounteers with new species, discoveries, ethical and moral questions that are (tried to be) solved for the good of everyone. It’s conversation, not conflict. It’s discovery, not extinction. It’s fairness, not exploitation. Et cetera.

And I’d counter your argumrnt. There always is some looming threat. Voyager has a gazillion of enemies, the ever hanging threat of never coming back home and being stranded for good. TNG had…well…the Borgs? Sure, there are many soap-opera-moments, like the sherlock Holmes holodeck filler-episodes, but they’re not defining elements I’d say.

Star wars is like a western in space. Pew pew instead of bang bang. No wonder it’s so much more loved than trek.

Please do. I was surprised to find it really back2theroots. I hope they finish it. And not just 3 seasons please.
