My absolutely favorite sci fi fantasy epic ever! Star Trek beat Star Wars like Anakin ran off and stole Picards Earl Grey Tea. This brightens my day tremendously, but please tell me if more than Kirk, Spock, and McCoy get their due? The movies always seemed to focus primarily on them leaving the others out in the cold.

Suq yIn!

Another criticism students, including my wife, have is that ST is an even more ridiculous adolescent male cartoon than 007.

But, I agree with your analysis. Only, in this essay you imply, that a little glitz can con today’s South Koreans when yesterday’s glitz failed.

But, I agree with your analysis. Only, in this essay you imply, that a little glitz can con today’s South Koreans wear yesterday’s glitz failed. If anything, the post-60s, Matrix-era ST will add an even more incomprehensible layer of irony atop the forthright multiculturalism of the original series. Are you advocating tricking South Koreans into supporting the ST worldview?

I think the only hope for multiculturalism in East Asia is a forthright, realistic look at guest workers and international marriage. It’s not that I don’t find the differences between the societies dismaying, but that Korea has its own baseline.
