🚀 Reminder: Join Us for “Warp Speed Woke” Lecture Series! - Lecture 3: Deep Space Nine and the Clash of Civilizations

01-26-2025 @ 11am PST

Hey everyone, just a quick reminder that Lecture 3: The Dark Side of the Final Frontier is happening this week! 🌌✨

This time, we’re diving into Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and exploring how the series broke away from Roddenberry’s utopian vision. From darker themes of moral ambiguity to serialized storytelling, DS9 challenged everything we thought we knew about the Star Trek universe.

We’ll tackle how DS9 reflected post-Cold War realities, cultural clashes, and shifting societal values. Expect thought-provoking discussions on episodes like “In the Pale Moonlight” and “Far Beyond the Stars,” which addressed the uncomfortable truths of morality, racism, and systemic inequality.

📅 When: 11am PST on January 26th

📍 Where: Zoom!

💬 Don’t Miss: Q&A at the end for all your Trek-inspired questions!

Let’s explore how DS9 redefined what it means to boldly go—see you there! 🚀🖖

(P.S. The Prophets would approve of your attendance!)
