Same. I am now watching Stargate. My mom used to watch so I didn't because I didn't want to be like her (ahh, kids... :)

But it's very Star Trekky, full of hope of "doing better" even when failing at times, and much unlike everything else I've watched! And I love it!!

You might enjoy solarpunk then. It's basically sci-fi about working for a better brighter future more beautiful future where human agency matters.

Writing good utopian works is really hard!
