Same.

I’ve also heard it described as competence porn. Sure, characters / species are flawed and mistakes are made, but it’s often with a purpose and meaning. And you often see individuals working together, checking in with each other, apologies, acknowledgement / recognition of impact and good deeds and other ways of life (especially when other characters aren’t believed or understood at first), respect , tolerance, parenting, working towards personal growth, reflection, social justice. Complex issues handled with care and compassion. The pace of the shows always seemed determined by the clarity- no rushing. Usually there’s a resolution, or acknowledging the lack of one (that may be satisfying).

I haven’t seen a lot of the new Trek but the older stuff did all this quite well. Combined with soothing ambient space ship noise and decent midi music…. So good for mental health.
