      Some Lower Decks! I’ll admit I wasn’t a big fan of the first season, but I thought season 2 and onward was better. I’m not always a fan of the style of humor, but I do get some laughs here and there! I would certainly watch a Star Trek animated drama series if they made it.

    With the anniversary of the first episode happening in the last week, I decided to watch the 30th anniversary episodes.

    • DS9 5x06 Trials and Tribble-ations - I always enjoy this episode, and I have a lot of admiration for the production crew being able to pull it off! It’s definitely a light and humorous episode, but I don’t need or want every episode to be high stakes!
    • VOY 3x02 Flashback - Definitely not as light as the DS9 episode, but it was a good way of bringing in some of the TOS characters and showing some alternative angles of Star Trek VI. Definitely an interesting watch.

    • SNW 2x06 Lost in Translation

    I so.etimes watch the dedicated ds9 channel on Pluto TV in bed if I’m having trouble sleeping. It’s great because I’ve seen ds9 a million times so I don’t feel obligated to pay attention making it good background noise

      I can’t say I’ve ever tried that to fall asleep, but I will put something on in the background as I’m working on projects. I’ve never been able to do it with DS9 though, because I always end up watching it instead of working!

        Usually when I can’t sleep it’s because my brain can’t shut up. Listening to quark talking about latinum turned down low.helps.

          Ah, that makes sense! It’s more something to kind of distract you instead.

    The constant memes on lemmy is more than enough Trek. When I get a itch for Trek I open lemmy and that itch is scratched so lemmy is causing me to not watch it

      I’ve never seen a lot of that show, but it seemed interesting. I even own the series set, I just haven’t had the time to watch. It doesn’t help that my spouse and I normally watch a lot of things together, and she wasn’t a big fan of the episodes we had seen!

          I’ve heard that mentioned in reference to the show, I’ll keep that in mind. Someday I’ll get to it! Life keeps me busy.
