I know there was some occasional friction between the fans on the old site, but I'll also throw in a recommendation for The Orville as modern Trek that's worth seeing. It does a great job capturing the spirit of the second-gen era presented for the current gen, with its cautious optimism pricked once a week by reminders of challenges yet to be resolved.
The first season is slightly rough (more proof it's a real Trek show?), as they figured out the ratio of comedy to drama, but by season three it's about as jokey as TNG. Fox did a bad job promoting it, it's definitely not Family Guy in space, which I think was probably what the network wanted it to be.
There's tons of Trek people both behind and in front of the camera, so while there's obviously no ties to the Trek canon, it's the closest anything has ever come, stylistically.
I've heard good things about Orville. I might check it out. It looks like it's on Hulu in the US so I can watch it but with ads. I hate those ads
Hulu does have a non-ads option if you hate ads enough.
Yeah but I hate paying money too. Classic Capitalisms Conundrum
Stremio + torrentio + vpn (I use mullvad) will change your life
I know this will be a controversial opinion, but I've enjoyed The Orvill less as it's gotten more serious. I bounced off season 4 because the first two episodes were pretty dark and depressing.
