This is a normal post I'm pretty sure that neither of them
really fit the required structure of a soap opera.

This is a normal post I'm pretty sure there is no formally 'required structure' of a soap opera.
It just needs to be shit, and go on and on and on and on and on.

This is a normal post Both ST:V and OITNB
have an self contained episode-of-the-week storyline structure where a story will be started and ended that episode (rarely it will be a 2 or 3 parter).

Soaps typically only have longer story arcs and do not aim to complete a whole story within a single episode.

This is a normal post Yes, well, if you will get down to systematic structural narrative analysis you will win this argument.
One of my bugbears with soap operas is the near total lack of catharsis because the story simply never ends.

This is a normal post I'm pretty sure all Star Treks are a soap opera in space.

This is a normal post Star Wars had good music though, and that's important in an opera.

This is a normal post Yeah that is a bit more soap opera-ish.
I've been rewatching them all recently...

Dax & Worf. The Major and Odo. Most of the Bajoran religion bollocks. I could really do without those storylines.
