  I learned this when I was buying beer, walked into a free-standing display, and somehow exploded one of the cans I was carrying. The cashier put the remaining three in a box to clean up and sell later.

  TNG had some movies (bald guy on the poster) and they were written by people who didn’t like the show for people who didn’t watch the show. You have to turn your brain off, but they’re well-directed.

  LOL I’m stealing this to use as my IRL description of those films. I wish it wasn’t true, but it is.

  The arrangement of the music in the restaurant felt more TMP than TNG.

  My oldest niece is 9. Last year I said something about Star Trek and she said, “Star Trek is awful.” I really need to ask what trek she’s seen and why she thinks it’s awful. She doesn’t seem to be a sci-fi fan, but that’s the only comment I’ve ever heard about Star Trek from someone her age. I’m very curious now.

  This seems more apparent with Star Wars. As a child of the 80s I always preferred the original trilogy, but kids who grew up ~10 years after me seem to prefer the prequels. Do even younger kids prefer the new trilogy that most of us seem to dislike? I need to ask some of them.

  Anyway, Prodigy is pretty great. I’m disappointed more people didn’t give it a chance to start with. I’ll readily admit I’m not a fan of Discovery and Picard, but I watched them all the way through, hoping for improvement, and at least have a good idea why I don’t like them. I think it’s worth trying anything that tries to be Star Trek.

  Yeah, the part that puzzled Geordi was the transporter was able to hold a pattern for nearly 80 years. SNW shows M’Benga had to pull his daughter out periodically to keep her pattern from degrading.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next week is the musical episode. Are you looking forward to it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Musicals aren’t my favourite thing, but sometimes they’re awesome. If any Trek can pull off musical it’s SNW.

  I hope it gives everyone something to do. Most of the time Star Trek is best when it’s an ensemble show. This is one of the reasons episodes like Cause and Effect are my favourites: everyone works to solve a problem. That’s the future, or at least the work environment I want.
