I like how every modern Star Trek show just ignores the silly idea that everyone has given up swearing in the 23rd and 24th century.

The lack of swearing wasn’t originally part of the "utopian ideal", it was in fact censorship from the broadcasters.

Yeah, you've kinda just gotta suspend your disbelief. I'm going back and watching House for the first time since it ended, and it is RIDICULOUS how much these characters don't swear at each other.

Hugh Laurie deserved an Emmy for that alone.

The universal translator autocorrect used to be turned up to high. Probably for the best.

Now they just have a universal bleeper, at least on the Cerritos
