It is no exaggeration to say that Star Trek changed the world, making groundbreaking leaps in representation as well as inspiring real-world inventions. That said, few great works of sci-fi are immune to parody, and self-aware silliness is just as much of a staple of the genre as hard sci-fi masterpieces like The Expanse. Star Trek might still be the greatest space opera of all time, but some of the show's parodies are just as worth watching. That said, another space opera masterpiece is a must-watch for a slightly different reason, being deliberately written as Star Trek's opposite.
