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.

Yeah, they borrowed a lot from Trek lore, but thankfully they seem to have left the "badmiral" trope in the cutting room with the transporters. Both of which I appreciate they omitted.
The first time I watched through The Orville, every time one of the admirals was on screen, I was like, "What's your angle?" and just generally distrustful. Even Victor Garber, you might ask? Especially Victor Garber.
If you think transporters are bullshit, wait until you hear about subspace.
