Fact or Opinion: Star Trek Edition

In 1982 the Cold War was still in progress. It is hard to communicate the low-grade level of fear the pervaded society at this time. It was kind of like that eerie static background effect in the video was playing all of the time with the occasional pause during family BBQs, summer vacations, and holidays. The negative war messaging in Star Trek was prevalent in a lot of media. I'd say society was trying to keep the success of things like Salt II in the forefront of people's consciousness. Never again being a strong sentiment towards WW II. I like the idea of Starfleet as the good guys. Most of the time that is the show I want to see. But, it becomes a bit too message from the statey if there is no criticism involved. I good 90% save the day 10% mess everything up works for me. Khantum, Khantum, Khantum!

are you grading these?

I love the video you covered, even so. My favorite Star Trek is #4 The Voyage Home. But you did very well indeed. Exceedingly well I may say. Any chance you’ll cover it?

You haven't experienced Melville until you've read him in the original Klingon.

Nobody else is going to say it? May video is *two* different takes on The Genesis Mission from the poll!

Can you post the answers? I'm struggling with some of them. Like #4 is not opinion because it's worded as fact, but it's also not a fact because 2063 is in the future and first contact is based on a work of fiction (15). Similar for #'s 5, 7, 14. I get that the implicit context of the whole questionnaire is for Star Trek, but some questions have explicit context like #13. And just as a comment on 10, could something be considered weird as a fact if everyone in the universe thinks that it's weird? If it was possible to know the opinion of everyone that is. I mean, anyone that knows about the Maquis knows that they are violently anti-Federation so it is objectively weird that they would join a Federation operation, even if in unusual circumstances. Weird is subjective, so if every subject agrees that something is weird, then is it a fact that the thing is weird. I looked up the concept and apparently it's called an intersubjective fact (as opposed to an objective fact)? ie. since weird can't exist without observers, the question itself becomes obsolete without those observers. Hence, the question can only be answered in the context of the subjects evaluating the subjective statement.
