I have seen this episode, and I really wasn't a big fan of it. However, I've also seen the original series episode "The Way to Eden", and I'd rather watch Subspace Rhapsody ten times back to back than sit through the """"songs"""" in that episode ever again for as long as I shall live. Subspace Rhapsody may be more of a musical episode, but at least it's music instead of being dissonant navel-gazing trash. The songs in The Way to Eden make me hate hippies more than J. Edgar Hoover and Eric Cartman combined could.

I don't care, I was just refuting "Roddenberry didn’t imagine a moneyless future" because it's categorically untrue.

Ronald D. Moore commented, "By the time I joined TNG, Gene had decreed that money most emphatically did NOT exist in the Federation, nor did 'credits' and that was that."

Daily reminder that astroturfing like this is the norm, and it has been for years. Shit like this is easy to do. You can even take it further and fabricate the a truly disgraceful complaint, and counter it with the perfect pre-written riposte. And if enhances your PR standing and helps you make money, are you going to just leave that money on the table and say "no thanks, we've made enough money this quarter"? It would be trivial to preempt criticism of a controversial production decision by commissioning fabricated death threats against the writers of a show, solely to victimize yourself and taint the waters of any possible criticism. Why would anyone not do that? Out of the goodness of their hearts?

You really need to cut the shit with the "pretend to be cool and aloof" routine. Shit's embarrassing.

O, let not the pains of financial burden which come upon thee enter into my automobile. I am the Extended Warranty, and I am in the foremost part of the loan, and the insurance policy which protecteth me is that which is with all the paid claimants forever.
