The drubbing of the Michelle Yeoh-led streaming film now holds a dubious title—one that reflects something much more interesting than simple schadenfreude.

About your point about exploring space: The Orville by Seth McFarlane is a very good example of that in a space show like Star Trek. That’s literally their whole mission for the show, and it provides some interesting stories. Like one where they make first contact with a planet similar to ours, but steeped in religious superstition. Or one where they make accidental contact with a planet that only appears in our universe for like 24 hours once every few months, where in its home universe time progresses at an exponential rate, so you see a microcosm of the impact someone could have on an entire civilization.
Also I just genuinely think it’s a good show.
Season 3 was fantastic. The whole shifting alliances arc, with the way their moral principle functioned as a guiding light through the turbulence, felt exactly like the old school utopianism that makes Star Trek uplifting.
Also, really enjoy your they’re not afraid to get weird with the aliens. RIP Norm McDonald. Yaphit was such a fun idea for a character.
