... the past is hate. Even the contemporary 90s. Time travel works, if Star Trek travels between times in the future. See e.g. 'Yesterday's Enterprise,' season 3 of The Next Generation series. Star Trek: Voyager's universe was so beautifully developed, that you immediately spot that the real-life 90s were hate (albeit an alternate-universe-90s were Microsoft rules earth). Cinema flic Star Trek IV tried the same, and traveled back to their real-life 80s. Hate. Look at medieval paintings. All the hyped Venetian maestros - really - painted hate. Google them and explain to me how they are not hate. (Some ancient Dutch paintings are watchable because they drew nature.) If contemporary times were bearable, the best existing show ever, Voyager, would have nailed it. They are really not.
