   In the sense people use "woke" today (diversity, racism, gender, politics   
   on-screen), sci‑fi TV has been doing that since at least the 1960s, but the   
   word “woke” only started being widely applied to sci‑fi shows in the   
   2010s culture‑war era.   
      
   Star Trek - The Original Series (1966) had a racially mixed bridge crew, a   
   Black woman in a senior role, a Russian crew member during the Cold War, and   
   the first interracial kiss on US TV, all conceived as deliberate social   
   commentary.
