I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.

So you're enjoying pro-slavery messages and zombie-apocalypse episodes in your star treks? Huh.
I can't tell if you're joking or if you're literally referring to Storm Front and Impulse lol. I don't know too many Storm Front fans but I thought Impulse was generally considered a good episode by the fan base.
I'm referring to the orion slaves episode (Bound), the cogenitor episode, and impulse, yes. And if people like impulse then they like a low-quality resident evil movie, not star trek.
Made me realise that I also forget to mention the episode with graphical teen incest scenes, too. And the various episodes with discrimination and sexual assault which are plenty.
Ya you make good points, but when I think like that I begin to strongly dislike alot of it.
My personal beef was always how the federation looks the other way at all the vassals and clients of the Klingon Empire. Just ignore their hordes of space helots I guess.
Ironically it is only in Enterprise where I finally see someone disgusted by it, but they technically aren't the federation yet.
For those particular episodes you mentioned the cogenitor one was the one I really disliked. Some of the worst moralizing ever: think of the perils of unrestrained suffrage before you enlighten a slave!
