For All Mankind currently sating my hunger for sci-fi space drama

I still wish they finished Expanse though

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Rewatching Orville at the moment. It's so damn good.

It's easily the best modern Star Trek series, and I'd argue it even does some specific things better than the Star Trek.

They'd better pick it up for a Season 4 at some point.

Better than The Next Generation?

I'd say some episodes are defeinetly up there with TNG.

The Family Guy style humour can be off-putting for some... I personally don't mind it too much, but it doesn't really add much and they thankfully tone it down after the first few episodes, and especially going into season 2.

TFG?

My favourite Star Trek is Farscape

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I haven't watched Farscape in ages

[TheDR]

I watched it a few years back and it's still pretty good!

Problem with Star Trek type sci-fi is that all aliens are way too humanoid in shape. Just uglier, mutated humans.

Farscape isn't like that with all their aliens. The pilot and Rygel for example:

Orville has some non-humanoid characters too:

https://orville.fandom.com/wiki/Unk

[General]

Those still count as humanoid. Bipedal, two set of eyes and mouth shape very similiar to humans (yes we share similiar traits with most animals but it is because being evolved in this planet)

For instance, Rachni a d Hanar from Mass Effect quite alien while all the others are mutant humans of sorts.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Yaphit is literally a blob of gel - How is that humanoid? D:

There are plenty of humans who have the wherewithal of a goo blob.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

My apologies.

*blob bob appreciation noises*

[General]

[TheDR]

You should get that checked out.
