Star Trek Deep Space 9 Predicted What San Fran Would Look Like

barstoolsports-

Someone on Reddit posted a screen grab from an old episode of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” depicting a San Francisco street in 2024, and people can’t believe it wasn’t photographed in a South of Market alley yesterday.

The image from the prescient 1995 two-part “Deep Space Nine” episode “Past Tense” shows a homeless encampment pouring into a street. Tents and large cardboard boxes share space on the asphalt with oil drum fires as a couple dozen street people mill about.

In “Past Tense,” Commander Sisko, Dr. Bashir, and Jadzia Dax beam down from the Defiant to Earth, but due to an accident, materialize in San Francisco in the year 2024. Two of them are marched to a “Sanctuary District,” a walled-off ghetto that the city has built to contain the poor, sick and mentally disabled. Subsequent events create a butterfly effect in the timeline that the Defiant crew must counter in order to return to the ship.

The similarity of a fictional dystopian San Francisco in 2024 to the real San Francisco of today was not missed by the Reddit crowd

  1. Anyone watch the show “Gotham”? All of the cities ruined by BLM and Antia no look like Gotham City. Actually I thing that some of the creepy residents were actors from Seattle, they didn’t even need makeup and wardrobe.

  2. I would say many BLM and pantifa losers look a lot like the zombies in The Walking Dead. I prescribe the same tactic…shoot them in the brain.

    Before you get indignant with my sentiment; recall they are violent, murderous, arsonists, looters, and terrorists. Those burnt out city centers and innocents killed attest to these facts.
