Which series of Star Trek? You DS9, TNG, Classic? Or new school?
Raised on tng but love All schools :) . And currently enjoying the hell out of STD (discovery)! How about you?
Ahhh, TNG. Just watched through that again. So many amazing moral lessons in that series. I grew up on it. I still remember the season where they changed the 'no man,' to 'no one.' Such a big deal for the time. Haven't seen much discovery. Just an episode here and there. I hear it's better than Enterprise or whatever the one with Scott Bacula was.
So true! Yes better than enterprise (even though that series got pretty good), but mostly just different than most Trek, in an exciting way. Actually, The Orville feels more like Trek, it's awesome in a familiar (and yet funny) way. Highly recommend 😁
Yeah, I thought so too when I watched Orville. I love how the writers on that show decided to make things super relevant to what's going on today. It might not be something you enjoy watching a decade from now, but for now it's good.
TBH, don't watch much network TV. Mostly I live on Netflix or Amazon. Not sure if the more recent Star Trek's have made it there. I think I saw one of the early episodes of Enterprise where the translator took a language she'd never heard and just translated it on the fly...was a bit much for me. Too much suspension of disbelief. But the rest of it looked cool :)
Agree on Orville, some nice topical stuff. Well done and I've been pleasantly surprised by some episodes. They'll go a direction that TNG would never have gone.
Ah yes, those pre-universal translator shenanigans :D :P
