One particularly progressive episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation addressed a hot-button topic in 1990. Since Star Trek: The Original Series premiered in 1966, the franchise has always been ahead of its time. With his optimistic view of the future, Gene Roddenberry created a universe where the Earth had achieved peace and used its resources to explore the galaxy. TNG expanded on this vision, picking up a century after TOS and following Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D.
