- Comment on Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek 3 days ago:
I started to watch prodigy, the first episode, but wasn’t motivated enough to go beyond a few minutes. I should give it another try, as it’s the only new star trek for the family to watch.
Strange new worlds might work, but due to how dark (lighting) and how real the effects look, this show is still not as family as the original shows.
What I’m looking for is something I know my kids can watch without being a helicopter parent.
It’s hard to really describe, maybe I’m getting old… 👴
- Comment on Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek 4 days ago:
Can we get some Star Trek I can watch with my kids around? I have to stick with classic trek (everything from Enterprise and earlier) as there isn’t an option. Sure Prodigy does exist, but I don’t know if I can get into that show myself.
Rant over…
They can make Section 31 content all they want, I don’t care, just make it good enough to watch. Hell, just take the book series and make a mini series based on those stories.

Maybe they didn’t watch it? I failed to get past 20 minutes.
- Comment on Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2? 6 days ago:
I qualify a good sequel as a movie that can be enjoyed without having to watch the previous. Not that the previous isn’t important, just not required.
Terminator 2 clearly fits into this category. As do a lot of sequels. Here is my short list:
- Terminator 2
- The Dark Knight
- Finding Dory
- Toy Story 2
- Spider Man 2 (Toby Maguire)
Do Casino Royal or Rogue One count for anyone?

This might be unique to each parent as well. Some children do require extra attention and it is very difficult to managed work time in.
With most schools letting kids out around 3pm it’s not easy to keep the children occupied before the work day is finished. This leaves parents either on a work call with kids heard in the background or working late at night al week.
Think of it as if the person is a caretaker and a full time employee at your company. It’s basically two full times just that happen to overlap during the day.
I think calling it a privilege is really unfair but if the people are missing work and not meeting deadlines then management needs to step in and work out a solution. Work life balance is hard.

Have we forgotten about Turning Red already?
- Comment on Which movies have you seen this week? 1 month ago:
Lion kind 2 and lion king 1 1/2
My take: Lion King 2 has some rushed parts and other parts are too long. Overall, ok but forgettable addition to the series.
Lion King 1 1/2, starts a little rough for me, but once Timon leaves home the movie takes off and it’s a good time. Recommend a watch if you have the first movie burned into memory.

If they remove it from the water, then change the availability to be OTC for multivitamins with fluoride. I want to be able to get it with our having a copay and whatever else the Dr wants to charge .
- Comment on Where to start? 2 months ago:
You’ll be fine, a lot of the shows need to grow, but I think Voyager and DS9 from the gate is pretty solid. However, I agree that DS9 is actually better the more you rewatch. I didn’t care too just for it the first time, but on the second watch 💪
- Comment on Where to start? 2 months ago:
Voyager’s got that family feel with the cast that you just enjoy being around.
TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.
Enterprise is good is you like your uniforms tight.
The original series is great to get a lot of the origin information. I guess it’s hard for new comers, but I grew up with it, so has a special accepting place in my heart.
Deep Space 9 is my personal favorite for political sci-fi. However, there is the occasional whatever episode. This is best to watch is order all the way through.
I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.
I abandoned Discovery after season 2 or 3 (I forget) I hear it got ok later on, but idk.
Picard, just watch season 3. I watched the others and then season 3 came out. I forgot about the others.

No worries, I think the way I write may have caused confusion. Trek on. 🖖
- Comment on Where can I find the highest quality Star Trek: The Original Series? 2 months ago:
Yes, that’s why I picked them up.
- Comment on Where can I find the highest quality Star Trek: The Original Series? 3 months ago:
? I prefer the original special effects, but that’s what I grew up with and it gives me the most comfort. I think the only way to watch the original is with the blurays at this point.
Back in the day prime used to have both available for streaming, but the golden era has ended.
If you want the highest quality video and audio the Blu-ray is the best you can get.

Nice, been waiting for this as I abandoned Discovery once her story was over. I view it as a TV movie or basically a long double episode.

Yes, I enjoy beyond as well.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition’ Screening, Show Memorabilia Auction Set To Cap Off Infinity Festival 3 months ago:
I enjoy the motion picture, but I also understand it is hard for some to sit through. Insurrection has the most, this could be an episode feel for me. Which is how I rate how much Trek something is.

Used to watch and record episodes of TOS off TV55 onto VHS to rewatch later. Lots of fun kids will never experience today.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 5 months ago:
I have heard from friends of mine that like Trump claim that since he’s a business man he is good for running the country. I could’t roll my eyes hard enough after hearing that remark.
I have also found that there is nothing you can say to sway a trump supporter.

- Comment on When should I start showing someone new to Trek new shows? 1 year ago:
I do like watching strange new worlds and lower decks, but I don’t like rewatching the newer showed.
- Comment on When should I start showing someone new to Trek new shows? 1 year ago:
I’m not too into the new showes as much as the older ones. I think Trek peaked with Deep Space Nine and Voyager, but this is just my opinion and many will disagree. Lol
