How is all manners of blood and violence “family friendly” but saying something is “fucking awesome” not?
Trek could get violent, but I don’t know if I’d say it ever got gratuitously violent. Even an episode with brutal torture scenes like “Chain of Command” was in the service of some kind of sociopolitical commentary or something. It was rare to see sex or violence on it which wasn’t narratively justified or was incredibly shocking just for the sake of shock value. I can’t think of any examples offhand.
I was actually referring to the first couple episodes which, while not excessively violent, are still pretty violent.
