When I was a child, I was sure the future would be Star Trek.
Instead, we're getting Max Headroom, The Running Man, RoboCop, Rollerball, and Soylent Green.

I have it on DVD.
Loved that show. All the "computer" graphics were don with back lit animation.
Children of Men
1985A of BTTF II
World War III is supposed to start in 2026 BTW.
So say we all.
Engage.
Can't wait to see how much more prophetic it gets!
We just happen to be in the Mirror Universe
But changes made by a few key time travel moments in the various series caused the better reality to assert itself.
The Guardian possibly pulling some threads.
Lets hope there's a Sam Becket. Or a Gary 7 out there. Or...god help us...Wesley Crusher!😁
I have to admit I don't have a lot of hope for humanity, either for our future or for our future growth.
Perhaps when science is able to make the post-scarcity world possible we will evolve. But Trek was clear that humans never really evolved culturally. So we hope for...hope.
We're just gonna do it by the stupidest, most painful way possible. Lots of shooting our own foot. But someone will survive!
This country breaks my heart about once a day now. If this is way the world will go, then I have hope only for a swift end.
If humanity can outgrow this selfishness, then I am happy to be on the last ship of fools as it sinks.
I think I was too foolish and complacent, and thought society would just "get" there, since it's quite impressive what we've managed to accomplish so far.
But you control your future. If you don't like what you see, we need to do something about it.
So there's still a good chance!
Bashir told Sisko he never learned 21st century Earth history because it was too depressing.
So Star Trek could still be our future, after we’re all too old or dead to enjoy it 🤦♀️
But I think we are gonna get there.
It is easy to forget that we are a pale blue marble when things suck as bad as they do now.
We haven't even had the Bell Riots yet.
Then we learned.
Technically, we’re still on track, but we happen to live in the shittiest period of time.
What we're getting is stupid, lazy line jumpers leading the credulous and the cruel, while the rest just WAIT.

Unfortunately, we're one of the self-destructive alien worlds that the Enterprise crew has to break the prime directive to fix.
