I think watching star trek is a sterile enough show with enough content to last me while I work on contracts for 40 hrs a week from home , I am ready for this challenge

Maybe will gently caress around and do a trek "podcast"

there is a podcast called Mission Log that does a break down of every episode from every series

i think they are on DS9 now

seasons 3-6 are great, seasons 2 and 7 are good “sometimes” things or things to have on while making dinner, and season 1 is really bizarre. tbh season 2 is EXTREMELY inconsistent but the avg is better than season 1, which is more consistent in style and tone but rarely hitting it out of the park

Didn’t Bernie lose because his strategy was centered around *not* converting other constituencies? Seems like you don’t need the Bernie faction to win a majority of delegates.

Not that it matters ofc when the federal government won’t last the summer.

actually, just watch all of TNG and don't skip anything. watch Code of Honor, the worst hour of Star Trek, even worse than the Voyager episode where going too fast in warp turns them into pregnant newts.


the best thing about TNG is that it's middle management in space. every problem is solved by talking it over in the conference room.

If this ends up being true, I'm absolutely not going to vote or even worse vote for trump. I would literally rather have his lovely incompetent admin running the shitshow than what centrist hellscape a Biden/klobuchar ticket would try to enact.

Trek talk: Have heard good things about the podcasts: "Greatest (next) Generation," and "That one Episode of Star Trek" but I don't listen to podcasts, so take the advice with caution.


Yeah, that. Is Babylon 5 streaming anywhere?

Since I am working from home for 3 weeks can I just start ds9 or do I gotta trudge through tng

TNG is not a pre-requisite for DS9. The only "trudge" for TNG is season 1 & most of season 2, it really is a fun show most of the time. I haven't seen DS9 in years, but it also takes a season or 2 to hit its stride IIRC

the 2 tng eps to start w are DARMOK and DATA’S DAY. both are above avg but neither is the best in the series, so you wont watch them and go, welp, all downhill from here. both let you know basically every main character in the show, what their personality is like and what their job is. they focus on picard and data, inarguably the two most central characters in the series. one is mostly shipboard and one is a planetary adventure. one is funnier, one a pure drama.

like between the two, you get most of tng. if you still are not sure, watch THE DRUMHEAD as a third.

Dogs, on the other hand, can connect with that pathos.
best way to watch Star Trek The Next Generation is to start right form the start and go through each and every episode. that way, you fully understand the journey of Astronaut John Crichton
