Interesting! I'm glad to hear it can.
It appears you like shows with a ship named Enterprise in it!
Nearly all the things you mention are issues I have with both Discovery and Picard! The storylines of the seasons I watched didn't really grab me to begin with, and then dragged on way longer than needed. I'm not that big a fan of the 10 or 15 hour movie idea, but it's even worse when there isn't enough story.
Yeah, some of the episodes do work a lot better when they're watched back to back.
Unfortunately I see many people talking about TOS looking too dated to watch, or the acting and stories not holding up. While I'll admit it doesn't look quite as shiny as the new shows, I still enjoy it! I'm guessing that's one reason, the other is that a lot of the older TOS fans are either passing away or old enough that they've stopped talking about the shows online!
It's really great! From what I hear you weren't the only person to not be a fan when it came out! I've met various Trek fans who always avoided it until recently, and now it's one of their favorites.
I honestly never realized Voyager and Enterprise were this popular until I started following Lemmy more!
I use Jellyfin as well, it's so much nicer than going to the shelf to grab the cases to stick the disk in. Having it keep track for where I am in the series is also a plus.
Exactly, I always imagined it focusing on recurring characters within various factions on the ship. They could have had various Maquis characters working on their own agendas and struggling more with being on a Starfleet ship, or maybe they picked up some aliens along the way and are trying to integrate them into life on the ship. They did the second thing to some degree with Seven, but having a group of actual aliens would have been interesting too. Especially if some of the aliens turned out to be planted there to cause trouble.
I've watched DS9 so many times, but I still enjoy slipping right back into it again.
That sounds like a Trek filled life! 🖖🏼I don't usually have the time to watch a lot over the warmer months, but in the winter my spouse and I tend to fit in a good bit more.
I know that feeling well!
I did hear that it transitioned to more of a drama part way through, so I'll keep that it mind when I get to watching it. Yes, hearing that Dolly was on a science fiction show was not on the list of things I expected to happen! I was raised around country but as I got older I began to prefer jazz, so I have to balance 90's Trek's love of jazz against that now.
It took me a bit to warm up to Lower Decks, but I like it pretty well now! It has a lot of heart, and certainly isn't above laughing at itself!
I know it's an overused question in a lot of places, but it hasn't been asked here in quite a while. I'm curious to see what the preferred Star Trek shows are in the group here. Whether you want to just list your favorite show, do a complete ranking of all the shows, or something in between, I'm interested to know!
This is my current top five show list:
- Deep Space Nine
- Star Trek
- Strange New Worlds
- The Next Generation
- Lower Decks
It gets difficult for me to rank past that point, so I usually stop there.
I finally decided to order a box of the Strange New Worlds trading cards, and they just showed up today! I always enjoyed opening packs of baseball cards, so it was a lot of fun seeing what all I got.
These are the five "extra special" cards I got, and I also had around 10 other non base set cards in the box as well.
I don't know if I'll buy another box or not, but I would like to get some autograph cards of the main cast. I know trading cards aren't worth it to many people, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of things like this!
I bought the BlueBrixx Enterprise model a little while back, and I was waiting until today to put it together! So I'm going to do that and probably watch an episode or two of something. Maybe the 25th anniversary episodes.

Here's a photo I took recently, and I'm just curious if anyone has any feedback on what they like about it or what they think would improve it. No editing other than some compression to lower the file size below my instance limit.
If I were to go back to it again I would probably try to use the stem of the flower to split the background between the bush and sky. Other than that I'm not sure, I'm still trying to learn!
