      Anti-Trek? Whaaaat? It’s basically TOS/TNG but with Family Guy toilet humor and cursing. 🤨 I didn’t have much hopes for it when it first started, but it actually feels more like classic Trek than shit like Discovery.

      The whole show was made in reverence to TOS and the “golden era” of Trek. It’s a bit goofier, but the show as it went on tackled several tough social topics that would make Berman squirm.

        Oh yes the episodes where the most manliest crew member is hermaphrodite and has partner drama with someone that looks as manly as them are hilarious

          if you meant Bortus, no, he’s male not intersex. male Moclans laying eggs doesn’t make them not male. their daughter Topa’s storyline has intersex vibes but it’s questionable whether she can be called that

      Somehow people don’t see it.

      But I mean, some people like Enterprise , section 31 or Picard that contain the worst morals ever shown in a Star Trek show so people are not going to see the problem with the orville.
