It's all about what you are looking for and your perspective going into the viewing.
I do think you are right about all of the points you mentioned about the series, but at the same time I believe Hollywood writes everything as a double edged sword: to weaken the masses who don't have access to metaphysical knowledge, and strengthen the elite who do.
The reason the 1% parasitical elite are in the position of power that they are in is because they have access to, are taught and understand metaphysical principles that are kept as "secrets" from the general masses. These principles are taught and communicated through Hollywood productions obviously to those who are privy to the metaphysical knowledge along with the affirmation of a feeling of being in control and accepting responsibility for everything that happens in the physical universe, while simultaneously are designed to weaken, instill fear and lead the unsuspecting entity down a rabbit hole of confusion and an overwhelming feeling that outside influences control your life in this physical existence.
Not that I endorse or condone logging or using trees for construction, for metaphorical purposes, imagine you are able to expand your vision and when you see an acorn, instead of thinking "Food for Squirrels" or maybe even "Trees!" you think... "Buildings" "Hotels" or even "Cities," then you are practicing depth of vision.
Apply the same depth of vision to observations like film.
Look beyond the trite physical implications.
For example, Star Trek does an excellent job of implying that when the ingenuity of technology has been exhausted even to the extent of interstellar human travel, there is still an unexplainable level of existence and energy that can physically effect them and put them into situations they can't control or explain with scientific validation, but it remains undeniably real. For example, take Que in Next Generation. An exaggerated comical rendition of an extradimensional being interacting with third dimensional reality.
Maybe observing the fictional day to day interaction with various non-human lifeforms across the universe could be used as a subtle form of disclosure, gently preparing the average person for the reality that they aren't the only intelligent lifeform in the cosmos.
You, the observer, are always in complete control of the psychological implications of what you are observing, unless you give that power away by your own choice... which, admittedly, most people do.
Take 100% responsibility for everything that happens in your life, both good and bad. You are the Maestro, and the physical life experience you observe is your canvas. The calvary isn't coming. No one is coming to save you. No one is coming to destroy you. Everything that comes into your experience, whether you perceive it as "positive" or "negative," you created. So take responsibility for it, and stop giving away your power to the parasitical elite that are using it against you. Not directed at you personally, meant as a general "you" to the people reading. :)
Thanks for the very detailed and thorough comment. You make many salient points. There is one thing you mention, in the final paragraph, which seems to be false. I am not, nor is anyone else, 100 percent responsible for everything that happens in their own personal life. There are billions of other people on the planet that make choices and take actions that do effect me, and all others, to a certain extent.
I am 100% percent responsible for everything that happens in my life. The billions of people forming the collective experience only have an effect on me if I allow them to by reacting to their stimulus with my thoughts and emotions. It is solely my reaction or response to the outside stimulus that creates my experience, not them influencing or having power over me.
