That excuse doesn't work in the age of 24 hour streaming and DVRs. You can just watch whatever during any amount of downtime and don't even have to binge watch. Its actually easier to have a busy life full of obligations and catch up on shows than it has ever been.

Nobody said you had to watch anything, but saying you are too busy to watch any kind of show is what I was referring to. If you dont want to watch something, thats totally different.

I'm at the point where I'd rather watch a weird episode of TNG than any ep of discovery. I'd rather watch Data learn how to tell a joke than the forced interpersonal conflict on Discovery.

Yeah, but you can't have Joe Piscopo in Discovery. For... reasons? I guess?

God Voyager was wasted. ENT did a better job showing a ship going through hardship in one season than voyager did in 7 so what does that say about your show?

Well, with the Mirror Universe relations between the Terrans and Klingons, I'm going to bet that Worf was never and option (and Tasha was raped to death by the rape gangs), so I want to believe...that Barclay is the head of security.

Really, that could have been the major conflict: Federation crew treating the phenomenon of leaping to the Delta Quadrant as a chance to do science and exploration beyond any Starfleet officer's wildest dreams, while the Maquis being pragmatic, ends-justify-the-means types would chafe and try to take whatever opportunities they could to keep going, to leap ahead, and to steal technology. Voyager constantly having to clean up messes caused by Maquis crew members, Maquis sneakily taking all the chances and loopholes Federation policy would preclude. At the end of any given episode or arc, there'd have to be a reckoning where good was weighed against evil and both sides had their own claim on good.

The DS9 mirror episodes start out cool but they just keep doing them past the point where they have beaten the concept (and a couple of the more interesting characters) to death and are reduced to thrilling guests like mirror Bareil and mirror Jennifer. The only consistently good thing about them is Nana Visitor.

Visitor is a really great actress. I think she's generally only behind Robinson and Shimmerman in the quality of her performances. I just wish they didn't pair her with such bland men.
