   Which part are you calling the premise? Do you mean the utopian aspects,   
   or the FTL starflight and transporter and other science fantasy?   
      
   Older Trek had the attitude that we'd evolved beyond all the petty   
   hangups of our Earthbound days. I suppose that's absurd, but it's also   
   aspirational.
