Looking at you, modern Star Trek - a prime example of ironic, sassy and whiny not necessarily being any smarter.
- imbnwa 4y agoEh, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds captured the blend of levity and somber urgency that populated the seasons of original Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation
- midoridensha 4y agoThat's not the Star Trek series the OP is referring to... Honestly, I'm shocked that SNW even came out, after seeing what an abomination Discovery was.
- reaperducer 4y agoAnd not every science fiction show has to be a sermon on later-day ethics and values in every single episode. Looking at you, The Orville. And not every science fiction show has to evolve into a horror/zombie series. Looking at you, Firefly.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y ago> horror/zombie series I have never heard this said about Firefly. I consider the show to be more about human experimenting and creating super soldiers (River Tam) and that it just got cancelled before they could really get into it. I guess Serenity was more about conflicts with Reavers but I wouldn't exactly pin the Horror/Zombie label on the series because of that.
- Apocryphon 4y agoFirefly is over twenty years old at this point, it's no longer a contemporary sci-fi show, and its status as a cult classic is really played out at this point, let it go. That said, it is funny how the much more recent and relevant The Expanse did have horror/zombie elements.
