Future Tense, Regeneration, Minefield, Cogenitor and The Expanse were all good
- Comment on Whats your favorite Star Trek season? 1 year ago:
Yep, I agree. The first two seasons are truly the worst tv Ive ever seen.
- Comment on Whats your favorite Star Trek season? 1 year ago:
Im pretty sure it was the basis for the Xindi arc which I really liked
- Comment on Whats your favorite Star Trek season? 1 year ago:
Season 2 has a few gems but yes its an overall bland season
- Comment on Whats your favorite Star Trek season? 1 year ago:
Picard season 3 was probably the most dramatic improvement in Trek history
- Comment on Whats your favorite Star Trek season? 1 year ago:
I always have skipped the first two seasons of DS9 on rewatches to the point that i dont even remember most of the episodes in these seasons. I guess Ill have to give them another go

- Comment on / Film reflects on Oral History of TNG ‘Unification’ Spock appearance 1 year ago:
I have both books. Very fascinating reads. Unification two parter is one of my favorite Trek two parters btw
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x03 "In the Cradle of Vexilon” 1 year ago:
Love that they went to some exotic alien structure in space and not just a normal planet
- Comment on Season 4, Episode 1 of Star Trek: Lower Decks on YouTube right now (I assume USA only) 1 year ago:
I have ParamountPlus but I’ll just watch it on YouTube anyway as an excuse to watch the episode again
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
They said it would disqualify them from Union membership in Identity part 1
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I think they really found the right balance by the Identity two parter
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Huh i didnt know that. I should rewatch the episode tonight
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
For sure it was just to get it greenlit. After the Identity two parter proved it did well with drama, they shifted
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Id rank Orville above all those too I admit
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Tendi is the best new Trek character
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Well ive never seen either so whats the consensus?
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
LD and The Orville are both awesome
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I mostly agree but the show did occasionally directly steal from TNG and other Treks. Then again it also did story ideas from TNG better as well, such as the episode Deflectors.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
The Orville isn’t anything like Galaxy Quest though
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I only remember one episode dealing directly with trans issues in TNG, which was The Outcast. Which isn’t that great of an episode for a variety nof reasons.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I agree with everything you just said
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Yeah I like The Orville a lot more than even SNW, as much as that’s heretical to say
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Ironically though because of its higher budget, The Orville ran into more alien “strange new worlds” and species than TNG did.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I liked that time travel episode and its moral dilemma, even if basically aborting the children seems morally dubious. Why didn’t they offer to just take his family with him into the future? Other than that, I felt it was brilliant. Also I like “preachyness” if what’s being preached is the right message, and they mostly preached the right message IMO in The Orville.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I sure hope so
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I admittedly worship TNG, but yes it def. has issues that haven’t aged as well. Like representation issues.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Good points, but I do think SNW taps a bit into the TNG vibe. It’s a very beautiful episodic show like The Orville is.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
Agreed. TNG and DS9 are still the better shows, but I’d rank The Orville even above TOS and VOY and ENT.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
I debated with myself if I preferred the Star Trek humans vs The Orville humans, and in the end I do prefer the more serious dialogue of Star Trek
