Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

Requesting recommendations of good ship-based shows (lemmy.zip)

There aren't many of the classics I haven't watched to death.

Farscape, I have seen too many times. The re-imagined BSG is my all time favourite, I have seen it more than too many times.

Right now, I am watching TOS. It is good. After that, I have been considering seeing the first three seasons of Andromeda again, or continue with B5 after the shadow war, which I haven't seen since I was young. DS9 is an option, because I have only watched the whole thing once.

My preference is for ship-based shows, but a space station will do in a pinch.

Some of these fit your theme better than others and not all are meant to be taken too seriously: Lexx, The Expanse, Final Space, Hyperdrive, The Orville, The Bad Batch, Stargate Atlantis.

The Expanse deserves to be highlighted more. God damn it is so good. Just bear in mind that season 1 is their worst rated season. All other seasons scored above 90% on rotten tomatoes from both viewers and critics. A couple seasons scorred literally 100%. It is so damn good. You just need to get through the only somewhat good, first season.

Seasons 1 and 2 of lexx are some of the best sci-fi ever made

Thanks. Some, I have seen. Some, I didn't like. I will have a look at the others.

Stargate Atlantis was great, saw all of them fairly recently. Started with the film, through SG-1, Atlantis (in story order), and finishing with SG:U. As a BSG fan, SGU's obvious copy of that show was too much for me when it was new. As the years have passed though, I can enjoy it as its own thing. I wish it had more than two seasons.
