DS9 is outstanding, if you have time to sit and watch episodes consecutively while you still remember what the previous episode was about. Long form content, made even before that was industry standard as it is now. Story arcs that took multiple episodes to finish (Babylon Five is this way too), so a bit closer to a “movie” than a single episode meant to be consumed in one sitting, like TOS, TNG, and VOY. Both formats are good ofc, just different, with each offering something that the other lacks, by design.

ENT I never really understood. Somewhere in there it starts to get into time shenanigans (season 5 maybe?), which I always loved everywhere else I’d seen it in the Star Trek universe. However, I barely could get through it in ENT. Perhaps I was just too busy irl to really give it justice though.

I hope I don’t unfairly prejudice you against enjoying the rest of the show. My aim was to reassure you that you are not alone: the show really does get difficult to watch, by virtue of not being as you expect, coming from the likes of TOS, TNG, and VOY, and then DS9 for longer-form story arcs. Maybe there’s a trick to enjoying ENT? I would hope so, but don’t know it.

Instead I gravitated to other series - Firefly, Farscape, Andromeda, Babylon Five, Battlestar Galactica, there’s so much good to see that is available, and only so much time to spend watching it! On the other hand, Star Trek really is a special franchise… My solution to get through ENT was to do other activities while having it on and so not devoting my full attention to it. Even that got difficult by the end of the series… :-(

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess… is it in the DS9 series, somewhere? (/s, I see it’s answered twice already!:-)

B-b-but I didn’t see one there when I went to look for it…

Uh, I mean I haven’t heard of people talking about such a thing… 😁😳🤗

If you feel that way then beware… it gets much worse, then a bit better, then arguably almost unwatchable by the end of the series. :-(

TNG, VOY, and TOS are really an entirely different genre. DS9 is too, but in an superbly awesome way 😎. ENT is… well, it exists as well.

Surely no… “questionable” decisions were ever made in that series, r-r-right!!!

(By anyone other than Rick Berman ofc)

Be honest - this clip is what drew you in, wasn’t it? :-P

Jeffrey Combs is the real Q, fight me.

Say that again I double dog dare you!?

(/s, but go with it anyway - and make sure your responses are in meme format!)

Wait till you discover who he manages to make himself become in the Delta quadrant also… :-P

Roughly cylindrical? I think you mean roughly spherical, amiright?! Hey-oh! 👐👋

Oh, yeah, I hear you there. With the added detraction that climate change may doom us all (or… half? I dunno, nobody does I suppose) in as little as 1-2 decades, and whether we end up avoiding that or not, either way the accelerationism has begun in earnest.:-( I for one feel bullied lately even (especially?) by true facts! 😭

Me either, and iirc it was quite recent.:-(

Not true! Tenforward exists - nobody can bully in here:-) - and dubvee.org for WVians, and PieFed lets me avoid 99.9% of tankies. But on Lemmy, in DMs, yeah that would require admin support that I suppose she just didn’t have the strength to ask for anymore (guessing from her message). Definitely not all areas of the Threadiverse are such safe spaces as here:-).

Well too bad, I upvoted it. (And this one too for good measure! And left my own upvote as well! - I am positively giddy from all this positivity, muwhahaha!)

We had a choice to keep jawa21 or the toxic A-holes that abused her in DMs. We chose the toxic A-holes. Lemmy truly is a special place - and not always in the good way:-(.

On the inside, where it counts🤗🫠

Are they really plastic trash bags? 😭

This is very surprising to me - is it due to lack of education about the subject, I wonder? (Or perhaps it is I who have a skewed perspective?)
