Andor v. Star Trek: How Star Wars gets government right [8:50] (www.youtube.com)

When it comes to science fiction, no franchises loom larger than Star Wars and Star Trek. While both offer visions of far-off galaxies, future societies, and the occasional knife fight, only one understands how government really works.

While Star Wars: Andor shows a government we can actually recognize—full of ambition, fear, incompetence, and petty power plays—Star Trek paints an unrealistic future where public servants are heroically selfless and competent.

Except for the times it isn’t. Some of the movies, some moments in TNG and DS9… and effectively since 2016.

Sure, of course. I really meant the flavour of Trek which Roddenberry originally conceived of.
