Oh look! It's *smart* science fiction! With women and other races treated as equals! Respect towards other cultures! Women aren't oversexualised (often, and usually there's reason)!
Sigh.
In fact, thinking back lately, and this was just highlighted by this rewatch and focused for me, a lot of 90s scifi was way more progressive than now.
Like I said, kinda depressing.
(And yes, there's plenty of counter examples, but I think on balance, there's been some stepping backwards, especially lately.)
