Anson Mount as Christopher Pike STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (2022-) “Ad Astra per Aspera” (2.02)
A law does not make something just. I’m not saying the Federation means to do harm. Their experience with genetic modification… The Eugenics Wars was horrific. The pain that Earth felt, unimaginable. The Federation built a utopia in its wake, and in an effort to protect that utopia, they became blinded by a centuries-old fear, so much so that they have, perhaps unknowingly, become persecutors.

“Discrimination against people for how they worshipped, how they loved, their gender, color of their skin… All legal at one time or another. A law does not make something just.” —STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS // “The first time any man’s freedom is trodden on, we’re all damaged.” —STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION
