Echoing move to SNW. It has a higher budget than older Trek and follows the current trend of “mini-series” storytelling. Older Trek follows older TV rules (wanted 26 eps to a season so a lot of filler to make it so). DS9 would be my other rec with a heavy caveat that if you’re not feeling an ep skip it and look it up on memory alpha later, particularly for the first season. As it goes on it gets more into the long form storytelling you’d expect with today’s shows, but first few seasons can be a bit rough and there can be a long time between plots being revisited (but when they are they make it count). TNG, Voyager and TOS are mainly monster/problem of the week (Voyager kind of weakly straddles longform and episodic leaning heavily towards episodic). Out of them I’d recommend TNG outside of the first two seasons (first season is TOS scifi tales encore, second season I actually like a lot and has some good eps, but general like is a minority opinion and cast gets retooled in third season anyway).
If you don’t mind kids shows also recommend Prodigy (kinda like a Trek ATLA imo).

Not sure which party, but I’ve been getting the same notice in the mail every ~3 days with this message and my voting record listed all the way back to 2016 for the past two weeks. Honestly not sure if it’s an attempt to intimidate me to vote a certain way because it sure is going beyond “people will know if you voted” to kind of insinuating they’ll know who I vote for. Fail point is I don’t know acronyms for political groups so I’m not sure which one they’re trying to get me to vote for lol
- Comment on Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US? 2 months ago:
My experience here. Had one a place I worked which did breakfast foods (yogurt, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos , etc) with a small microwave slot to heat up after it vended. Food was absolutely gross and it was always dicey if anything it vended was still in date. Only nice thing was the front was see through so you could check which items had visible mold and avoid those…
Was cheaper than the cafe and had better hours (all of them) for my shift, but I don’t think the trade off of rolling the dice on food poisoning was worth it lol.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations 1 year ago:
- Boardwalk Empire - 1920s-30s period drama about mobsters, prohibition, etc set in New Jersey/Atlantic City
- Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries - 1920’s period detective show set in Melbourne
- Peaky Blinders - haven’t watched it myself, but my understanding is it was pretty popular, 1920s period drama about a gang set in 1920s Birmingham
- Fargo (season 4) - haven’t watched it again, but I’ve heard good things and season 4 (it’s an anthology series, each season is a different cast/story so you don’t have to have watched the previous seasons) is 1950s Missouri with gangs

I love how fed up Damar gets by the end of the war lol
- Comment on Braga: ‘I still cringe when I hear it.’ Apparently, it was a long road to the franchise’s most despised title music 1 year ago:
Thought the time honored tradition was switching to another channel to watch another show’s opener so you’d know what was going on when you switched there during commercial breaks. Just my family?
- Comment on Kirk sticking around? 1 year ago:
I kind of assume if they have plans for him it’s a young Kirk spinoff. If they wanted him to stick around I feel like they wouldn’t have closed down the relationship with La’an so forcibly if that makes sense.

If there’s going to be more voyager characters I really hope Neelix gets a cameo for an episode. I’d love to see him back in the kitchen with Jankom taste testing lol
