In January of 1995, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine produced an epic two-episode arc that would later come to define the series and re-enforce Star Trek's relevance in the Pop Culture landscape.
'Past Tense' is a classic Trek Tale whose predictions of our modern day trials and tribulations will likely shock and ultimately terrify you...like good Science Fiction should.
The events in the story take place between August 30th and September 2nd, 2024. That right there should at least warrant attention. The accuracy of the way it portrays America's decline into dystopia should shake you to your core.
But Star Trek proves that the cynical part is the easy part. What makes Trek unique is its willingness to admit the nature and even inevitability of craven Human foibles, BUT also the courage to believe in its ability to rise above its most basic of instincts in order to do better. To get things right.
'Past Tense' does this exceptionally well, and on top that eerily represents the power of Science Fiction to predict exactly where we are.
