Hell yeah! Best non-trek sci fi show since The Expanse.

Makes me wish Apple TV would buy the rights to The Expanse and finish the series. There are two more books that take place years later.

Trek is not sci fi.

Oh look it’s this flame war again. Haven’t seen it since the early 90s on BBS

That’s true of currently airing fanfiction. Episodic Star Trek shows were definitely sci-fi. Philip Dick, the only person high enough to define sci-fi wrote:

This world must be different from the given one in at least one way, and this one way must be sufficient to give rise to events that could not occur in our society… There must be a coherent idea involved in this dislocation…so that as a result a new society is generated in the author's mind, transferred to paper, and from paper it occurs as a convulsive shock in the reader's mind, the shock of dysrecognition.

In good science fiction, the conceptual dislocation ---the new idea, in other words---must be truly new and it must be intellectually stimulating to the reader… so it sets off a chain-reaction of ramification, ideas in the mind of the reader; it so-to-speak unlocks the reader's mind so that that mind, like the author's, begins to create... The very best science fiction ultimately winds up being a collaboration between author and reader, in which both create---and enjoy doing it, experiencing the joy of discovery of newness.

And The Orville.

For AllMankind feels so hopeful because, like The Orville, it’s got Trek’s fingerprints on it.

unlike actual star trek these days.
