![]() This week, it's very amusing that we've hit the 113th Revisitation with a Costa issue. That'd shock James Roberts down to his Jeremy Corbin underpants. Still, it's an issue that goes all MEGA (Make Earth Great Again), meaning it's ahead of its time as I ask if it's one of the Bester stories or needs demolishing as I look at REVENGE OF THE DECEPTICONS PART 1.

One of the complaints I had about season 2 of Picard (yes, bear with me) is that it features a scene where a black character gives a long speech to a white character about why racism is bad, specifically in modern day America. Now, I didn't have a problem with the content at all, but rather it felt far too unsubtle for me - Star Trek has always been about presenting issues in an allegorical fashion, in a science fiction context, and I was disappointed they couldn't be more imaginative here. But then I remembered the number of right-wing Star Trek fans that exist, who just don't get it ("When did Star Trek get political?!?1?"), and I realised that, actually, it seems we're past the time for subtlety, and the only thing that's going to work is a metaphorical brick to the face. And in that context, it makes Costa's work here, which might have felt a bit on the nose a decade ago, a lot more relevant now.
