Boldly launched amid the turbulent 1960s, the fantastic world of Star Trek has become a cultural icon for generations. It has existed in our collective memories for so long that we can take its guiding principles and established tropes for granted.
What happens then when we decide to turn a more critical eye on a universe that has long been held up as a utopian ideal? What less stellar realities await for those within the Star Trek universe who happen to exist outside of our usual frame of reference? What is life like for those living Beyond the Bridge?
In this episode, we explore the hypothetical daily lives of the many people passing through the backgrounds of our most beloved stories. We seek out the experiences of those deep within the federation civilization. We boldly go into detail about what the true nature of the starfleet system might amount to in realistic terms. In the end, we are left asking ourselves if the conclusions set forth a reality we could really call ideal; a future we would really choose to manifest.
