The "Terra Prime" episodes are a fitting, prescient, concluding commentary on American society from 2008-2020. The Terra Prime organization is a glove-like fit to the current Marxist Party of Hate that fosters an apocalyptic revulsion of conservative Americans. While the Terra Prime people use weapons of mass destruction to achieve their xenophobic goals, the Party of Hate uses its Brownshirt thugs to attack patriots and destroy American culture by burning books, shutting down free speech, and destroying monuments. "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength," shout the Brownshirt terrorist hypocrites!
"We've seen what humans can be at their worst," says Nathan Samuels.
Beginning with TOS, the writers tried to comment on social issues, and by accident they nailed it in this two-parter. It even contains the mandatory white-woman-lusting-after-a-black-man. (It's never a black woman desiring a white man.)
Even so, I believe this Star Trek franchise series has the most dislikable crew of all of them. Yeah, McCoy was irritating with his whining, but Enterprise has an arrogant, narcissistic, hot-tempered jock for a captain; a hot-tempered good 'ol Floda boy for a chief engineer, a whiney communications officer, and a seedy, whiney British tactical officer.
