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

    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

                          volunteered to do Topa's trans surgery against Union orders then calmly but forcefully stopped Klyden from interfering.

                              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

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

                          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
