  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).

  • 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

  From playing d&d with a few definitely… Never had another group try to convince me it’s simple math to work out the dynamics of a fireball and how far it would really go in a tunnel system because they wanted to get enemies around a corner too lmfao.

  We’ve got a lot of reposts though I am working on a write-up of that time a Japanese romance comic had a black heroine’s reward be “you turn white”…

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Review of Subspace Rhapsody⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Since La’an and Kirk were sorted out in this episode I kind of expect Chapel and Spock are going to get their resolution in the finale. But yeah it is feeling a bit like when Deanna and Word dated lol “wow it happened and then was gone so fast hunh…”.
