The Union’s medical technology is notably more advanced than the Federation’s, yes. Dr. Finn would have Pike up and walking in an afternoon.

In an early episode of the Orville, Gordon and Isaac get into a prank war which culminates in Isaac removing Gordon’s leg. This is treated as going a little bit too far but ultimately harmless and funny.

In Star Trek, they tend to prefer to mitigate risks protectively with things like anti-grav harnesses and holodeck safeties, except for exceptionally reckless individuals like James T. Kirk and Jason Vigo.

Both the Maquis and the Bajoran Resistance are justified, it is always morally correct to attack fascists.

The separate plotlines converge and the characters start to understand what’s going on

I’m still salty about the Shuttle in lunar orbit. That’s not what it’s for, that’s not where it goes.

I made it about halfway through season 2 and found myself rooting for the Cylons to kill every named character including the Cylon ones.

The optimal way to watch Stargate, and the way it originally aired, is alternating episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis starting with the former’s season 8 and the latter’s season 1.

Universe had a drastic tone and characterization change from the other Stargate shows, it’s much more tonally similar to Battlestar Galactica than Stargate. SG-1 and Atlantis are about competent professionals who enjoy each others’ company, while Universe is about a bunch of petulant children who hate and are constantly scheming against each other.

No, I don’t like BSG either.

I thought Andor was the best Star Wars thing ever made period but found Mandalorian kinda boring and dropped it after a few episodes.

You’ve got SG-1 but not Stargate Atlantis, so add that in, it’s just about as good as SG-1. (not Stargate Universe, though, that one’s bad.)

Just watch this scene

Much like their historical namesake, the Maquis did nothing wrong. Telling the Cardassians “Oh no oh gee we don’t have any cops to police those nasty Maquis so sorry” is better than actually trying to stop them.

Both trade and cops are much less necessary, and therefore much less prevalent, in a post scarcity utopia

Picard pulls Archer through time and Archer turns to the camera and goes, “Oh boy”

Kirk gets a mysterious call in the middle of the night from a woman he’s never met asking weird questions and his response is to ask her out

10/10 Kirk behavior

Neelix is the worst character in Star Trek. I hate him more than Kai Winn. But Winn is well written as a hateable villain, while Neelix is supposed to be likeable but he just isn’t. He groomed Kes, regularly poisoned the crew because of his absolute refusal to take feedback, and contributed absolutely nothing positive to the mission.

I got the impression it was pure Janeway nepotism

She should have finished the job and spaced Neelix after the split.

Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Prodigy, and The Orville.

When the kids find that Federation outpost in episode 11, the one guy staffing it is a Denobulan
