Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

Other sci-fi series? What "other sci-fi series"?

EDIT: I wasn't asking for recommendations, and honestly nothing you can offer will measure up to the glory that is Star trek. Soz all, LLAP 🖖

Expanse holds pretty true. Still doesn’t have it all like Trek tho.

Sheeeit,.. I watch Alien 4 just to watch more proto-Firefly characters in action. The hidden wheelchair guns are my favorite.

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, of course!

Sadly, it turns out that Kevin Sorbo is a massive douchebag. As someone who grew up with Hercules, finding that out was extremely depressing.

Happily, Lucy Lawless (Xena) is almost exactly opposite, so those shows don't have to be all bad.

From what I remember he didn't go completely bugfuck insane until after Hercules.

And he has a massive ego, hence the 'God damn I look good.'

Also, Andromeda was marginally acceptable in Season 1 and awful for the rest.

But I suppose we have Gene to thank for it, just like Star Trek.

What about Earth Final Conflict?

Nope. It's like a version of Voyager where everybody is as annoying as Neelix. I gave it a season's benefit of the doubt, never again.

Twilight Zone?

[-] FMT99@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Much as I love TNG, Babylon 5 > Star Trek, don't bother trying to change my mind.

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Hard to argue with fanatics, I agree.
