Some of Stewart's and others' interviews were trying to attribute that to "the current dark situation" but I find that laughable. Is this current situation darker than in the 1960s, the cold war, and the Cuban Missile Crisis that almost led to a nuclear holocaust? And yet the original Star Trek came out exactly then.</p></blockquote><p></p>
