    I don’t watch star trek. A bit too “outdated” for my liking (am Gen Z).

    I like The Expanse, The Orville, and Dark Matter (2015)

            Enterprise has a lot going for it, if season 3 didn’t ever happened, and the executives allowed the writers to use less technology and have that first season on earth they wanted to do, it would have been incredible lol.

            i like a lot the “pioneering” feeling the show has, the crew still is astronaut-y.

            And hoshi Sato is one of the few redeeming characters, alongside Dr Phlox.

            Overall 7/10 enjoyable, even if the executives half-ruined it.

      The expanse is so good, and the books, and audiobooks are even better. I’m just finishing 6th audio book and while I loved the show the audio book (and book) are on another level. Highly recommend to anyone who likes space and sci-fi.

      Start with Strange New Worlds. If you like The Expanse (and I love The Expanse), you’ll like it. It’s gorgeous, it’s brand new, it feels modern, but it’s as Star Trek as the original series.

      Then go to Deep Space 9 once you’re used to the water.

      Please don’t ban me Lemmy admins, but… you’ll have people tell you to start with TNG. Don’t. It does feel old, heh.
