One of the big problems with modern [Star] Trek is it's filled with [a] vague sort of techno-socialist leftist politics, but the writers have totally lost sight of the "Good Guy's Code" which TOS [The Original Series] inherited from its Western show predecessors.
One of the things that makes Firefly succeed is that [Malcolm] Reynolds has a good guy's code. It's a stripped down and practical good guy's code, but it's there and he sticks to it.
