14. Nobody hates Star Trek more than Star Trek fans.

I was ready to spit bile when in the second season of SNW, they encountered an "improbability field" (reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide) that makes them sing/dance/perform broadway-level musical numbers. (The music was pretty good, if only I could get past the silliness.)

When they have something good, they sure know how to cheese it up.

Either the producers don't take it seriously enough, or we take it too seriously.

Season 3 of Picard was da bomb!

I sort of hate the context of the SF Academy show, "the Ya trash" as you say. Holly Hunter is weird as a Captain, always waving her bare feet around.

So, I go into each episode thinking it's junk, and end each episode thinking, "It's much better than all the other trash on TV." I've sort of enjoyed them out of low expectations.

What else you gonna watch? Taylor Sheridan dramas?

As Spock said, in ST:VI, "You must have faith that the universe will unfold as it should." Keep the faith, my friend.
