Star Trek and Politics
I personally have never watched Star Trek because I thought it was kind of weird, but this article shed a different light on it and helped me view it differently. The question is brought up whether a world of peace would be boring, because no one would be a hero. I thought this part was interesting because I don't people think of world peace in this light. I don't think this notion is accurate or in any way worthy of consideration, but interesting nonetheless. The article continues on to discuss the connection between Shakespeare and Star Trek, which seams a little random at first. They explain the use of some of Shakespeare's lines in Star Trek and what it could mean. I think this article is a bit long and wordy, but pretty interesting once you consider it.

I enjoyed the Shakespeare references throughout the episode because I thought that it made good connections between the two. One of the connections I noticed was when somebody asked why would the chancelors kids would j=have killed him and one lady says that it wouldnt be the first time which i thought was interesting because you see thngs like that happen in most of shakespeares work like hamlet, macbeth, etc.
