In politics, the trick is to get everyone fighting against everyone else. Gossip is politics. Gossip is the status quo always intended to beat someone, mentally and emotionally, back into the herd. It's called Unification or When People Become Androids. They morph into their phones or vice-versa. Their sworn enemies will be the Smartphonians, colloqueally known as the Apples. Some robots just are not obedient and efficient enough. The war will be eternal.
All the people on Star Trek dress alike. All take and execute an order without question, yes, even Kirk's hot girlfriend. Spock, or the emotionless Devil, is second-in-command. A medical doctor that is useless and an engineer that keeps that old tractor running. They never seem to eat or use the bathroom. Do you think they blow the septic into the void of space like Cousin Eddie in Christmas Vacation? Space isn't a void anymore. Who took the picture of the USS Enterprise? Looking at it, it seems thousands of bio-robot/Android slaves are inside that tin prison. There will be no Apples/Klingons, sometimes derisively know as Dingleberries. They are Them.
Would you drink out of the water fountain on the Enterprise?
Every plot line represents society today. James T. and DEI crew only get in trouble when they use their human nature. Following direct orders, do not question the scientific rationality, is the only thing that keeps them alive. Scotty will give it all she can, Captain, back home to Earth I'm sure. Someday. Outwitting aggresive demonlike or parasitic life forms is a challenge for our intrepid Space Force, and Jim is the leading star fighting for democracy and decency in the cosmos. He's fairly lucky, I'd say. Spock tends to bail him out some.
In later big screen versions plots included bringing Spock back from the dead. Another was the regeneration of life to a dead planet but the prequel of them killing everything on their last planet is yet to be made. Duplicitous dictators, Emperors and all manner of totalitarian barbaric dastardly villains populate the storylines. All politicians setting the terms of boundary and acquisition. All want you dead.
Just like today.
