Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I hear Babylon 5 and The Expanse is nice, but I hear so little about those two shows I don't know what to expect of these stories.

live action as animated recommendation is allowed.

The Orville is very good, as it also explores ethics and philosophy like Star Trek and has refreshing ship designs (for example, more vulviform or squid-like, instead of the usual saucer or phallic designs)

The Orville needs a disclaimer, reassuring people that Seth McFarlane's humour is reined in eventually (starting in season 2, iirc) and it grows from an okay parody of Trek and scifi into a show with surprisingly deep plot and character development and gags sprinkled on top. (SMF is a cool guy and he can be funny as long as he's not trying to)

Everything about the Moclans is some of the most courageous stuff I've seen on TV, with obvious and still clever parallels to reality and no easy answers offered. And I hate that some people are probably turned off by Seth being Seth in the beginning and never see those storylines.

There's no greater ship than LEXX!

Orville is the most TNG since TNG.
