That's an interesting point about purpose. I shall have to ponder it some more--my initial reaction is that Trek's foundational worldbuilding is pretty...I'm struggling for a word. Optimistic? It's not that I don't believe something like Roddenberry's vision is possible, but it's been a radical departure from our world since 1964, and I think in some ways the petty details of bureaucratic infighting that Bennett brought to Trek, and which later series carried on to an extent, heightens the impact of that foundational worldview, if that makes sense.
Is Prime Directive good? I've been considering reading it.
