    I totally get it, its the same reason roddenberry had to be muted about his socialist politics, it is hollywood after all. But ya it’s painfully obvious (to me at least) that the Bajorans were cast in the role of the Palestinian resistance.

      that episode from the original series where kirk cites the usian constitution and pays respect to the flag imo was the result of a friendly visit from cia or fbi, since they were walking a thin line there by having a diverse cast, including a russian in the height of the cold war

        That explain why that episode is so over-the-top cringy, even by 1960s standard.

        Which one was that one? I don’t remember it although I still need to see a few of the last ones in the 3rd season.

          i don’t remember the name or season, they find a starship with the whole crew dead in a bizarre way, they find the captain from that from alive in a nearby planet, the planet is pre-industrial and there is a conflict between asian looking people called “the cons” and anglo-saxonic cave men, i don’t remember how things develop, just that kirk start speaking the usian constitution and some caveman says: he is speaking the holy words. LMAO

            I remember a review of the episode that simply said “It’s so bad you really have to see it for yourself.”.
