    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
