Two months ago I did a post asking for the opinion of Discovery and the comments were mixed. https://startrek.website/post/29577558

The commander disobeing order to the captain in the first and also attacking her? Xenophobic military propaganda? I didn't like it and that I like Deep Space Nine.

Now I'm watching Lower Decks, is very funny and has a lot of references to other Star Trek series, is really good, I don't understand how a comedy who is almost a parody catch more the Star Trek vibes more than a serious production. I hope Strange New Worlds have something good, because I was already disapointed by the three seasons of Picard and the first episode of discovery.

I tell every Star Trek friend I know to watch The Orville and they never do. Compared to Star Trek it leans more heavily into comedy, especially at first, but it's easily the best Trek since 90s Trek.

    I say it's the best because it's not a prequel or a retread. It's its own story, and it's also really fucking well done.

    I think SNW took some notes, and that's why it works. And I cannot fucking believe we STILL do not have a normal post-DS9 show.

    @MimicJar @startrek YES! The first season is pretty comic, but astoundingly many of those comic situations get very serious in later seasons. The show is in many ways more honest than Trek in looking at moral implications and realpolitik concerns. It’s very surprisingly deep. It really is an outstanding show, and I was really shocked to have that opinion.

    The Bortus holoporn episode was grossly obscene, and also one of the most poignant episodes of the show.

    And this scene from season 1

    Ed: I know where you can go.

    Pria: ....where?

    Ed: ...to hell. You can go to hell!

    Pria: Is that an expression? I don't know it.

    Ed: Well... it's not good!
