Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

A rewatch of "The Expanse" and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.

I agree. I tried for about maybe 5 eps, but the romanticism was annoying and the Spock plot made no sense. Like do these people even know what a Vulcan is? Or are they like Abrams and just like changing whatever the hell they want? Sad because I love the premise of the show.

A long time ago, Star Trek had some decent writers writers, many of whom were classic science fiction authors. Now all they have is a bunch of younger screenwriters that do not have a lot of life experience. Yeah, TOS and TNG could be cheesy at times but most of the episodes had substance. Kurtzman's Trek is like a CW show that's written for teenagers. SNW is definitely strange and new but it's not very good.
