-snip-

Each of these articles (and multiple comments included with the 3rd article which is actually a blog post) discuss that movie from the perspective of race in pop culture as demonstrated by all of the Star Trek television series and by this Star Trek movie in particular.

I've not seen }Star Trek-The First Contact" yet. But I certainly intend to see that movie as I consider myself a trekkie (full disclosure I like Spock more than Kirk, and I also like Uhuru).

In this thread I'll share some excepts from those articles whose links I gave.

This thread is also a place to share your reactions to those articles, to the Star Trek series, to other Star Trek movies and/or to this particular movie.

Thanks in advance for your participation in this discussion.
