Seems like the best science youtuber also has good Star Trek opinions

    criticizing the Picard show (and nu-trek writers/execs more broadly) is one of the few entertainment topics I can see myself watching 3.5 hours of

      I continue to insist that most of the nu-trek series are good, actually. The bad ones are just so bad, and so much more talked about, that they drown out the good.

            SNW, LD, Prodigy(?) and...? I must know, I've been disconnected from trek for a while now.

                Oh yea, I did watch a couple seasons and was surprised by how decent it was. Still has a few MacFarlane-isms but it's got the spirit. The Moclan child arc was actually really impressive aside from a couple lib bits.

                  The Moclan child arc in season 3 is some of the best Trek of all time tbh

                            He has some of the funniest scenes and also some of the most sincere and heartfelt. Like when he

                                The Orville gets a lot of mileage out of the Union's medical science being even more advanced than the Federation's. Like the early episode where Isaac cut Gordon's leg off as part of a prank war and the easy answer was to just grow him a new one which took a day or two.

                                All the wacky Moclan traditions were very fun except for the ones that were extremely not fun.

                    The four good current era Trek series, in descending order of preference:

                    1: Lower Decks

                    2: The Orville

                    3: Prodigy

                    4: Strange New Worlds

                        I am absolutely uncompromising on the point that The Orville is a legitimate Star Trek show

                            btw any thoughts about Andromeda? I watched a few eps of S1, seemed all right, heard it goes downhill after S1 though

                              It's been a pretty long time since I saw it but I thought it was fun even though it was bad

                            I'm not entirely convinced of that one but it has been a while since I saw Galaxy Quest
