Well when it airs, fire me a PM. I have access to a van and some duct tape and zip-ties...I can get you out of there. We'll make a good show of it!

The van even has an on-board kegerator. We get somewhere where we get decent Wi-Fi we can drink beer and do a DS9 rewatch until your wife forgets all about it. Might even get some ransom out of the deal?

My wife went to High School with one of the actors on Discovery so we tried to watch it and we still couldn't choke it down. One of my clients was in the Section 31 'movie' and that was brutal. So I feel your pain and am offering my assistance.

It might be that the only way to survive this or enjoy this is to do a Mystery Science Fiction Theatre treatment of it and put it up on Youtube.


Of course the sounds of palms slapping foreheads would overwhelm the audio.

The writers and show runners don’t care enough about Trek to even bother explaining it.

It will be identical to “Spock has a sister” and “Kilingons don’t have hair”.

Sadly...I think you're right.

There was so much potential for this show but at first glance it looks horriawful.

Why of why did they think it was a good idea to plunk it into the Disco-verse?

Kind of a gear grinder, but it's Trek related, so...


I am currently watching "Voyager" while I exercise. 45 min on the treadmill while I watch an episode. Today, I am greeted with Netflix saying "Leaving Soon" to Voyager, which will be leaving on Jan 8, it seems.


I just watched S5, E24 today. There's no way I am watching 54 episodes before Jan 8.


Star Trek gears ground.

Hrmm, how can I make stationary exercise even more torturous? Oh, I know! I'll watch Voyager!

Hah!


I've gotten through TNG and DS9 that way, so figured that I'd watch Voyager and call my ST journey complete.

When Voyager is good it's good. When it's bad it's horrible. There are very few episodes that are 6-7/10.

Yeah, Voyager has some unbelievable highs. Year of Hell is in the conversation for best two-parters in Star Trek (Best of Both Worlds is a trilogy and doesn't count).


But...


Newts are the next stage of human evolution and the Captain turned into a newt and had newt babies with her pilot.

I'm in a similar boat, but I'm watching DS9 - god damn it's good. Avery Brooks is an absolute power house. I have it on my Plex server though, so I'm covered.

If only Captain Foreman had called Paris a "Dumbass"
a couple of times in that two parter it would have gone from a 10 to 11.


You really have to respect Kurtwood Smith, he's awesome in everything he does.

Yeah....thats a pretty good way of putting it.

However, maybe if you're on the treadmill you can make it so that the speed of the show is directly correlated to the speed you're running at.

"Oh its Tuvix today is it? I guess today is 'sprinting' day!"
