/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

kinda makes sense to me
one is an attempt at a hopeful, logical view of humanities future.. the other has laser swords and magic.
The Expanse: space will always try to kill you, humanity still sucks, everything still hurts, everything is still dirty.
Far superior option. Mostly because it has real space physics with minimal hand waving.
One is a broad base for story telling, the other is one long story about how a single family and their granddad's hetro-lifemate can fuck over an entire galaxy,
And politics, and wealth disparity, so basically the opposite of a utopia.
And it always sucks no matter who wins.
Magic
Laser Sword
But they're mostly right about the hopeful part. When it isn't shown that the Federation is super corrupt and being controlled by evil outside forces, of course.
That article about magic talks about religious ritual and advanced technology. No actual magic, except in one alternative universe.
There's also a regular invocation of Clark's Law, producing a rich surplus of "Space Wizards" - from TNG's Q to Gabrielle Burnham, the Red Angel, in Discovery.
That's before you get into hyperdrives and teleporters and replicators and holodecks and other very naked violations of established science. Functionally no different than characters casting spells and using magic items in a game of D&D.
Invoking Clark's Law is saying "there's no magic, just stuff we don't understand yet".
But yeah, no answer on Q's species, that's literally magic.
