I was literally wondering that this morning! Noticed the non-political shitposts had largely dried up, and realized I hadn't seen TPM for a good minute. Come back, we need you.

I just started this one yesterday. Enjoying it so far. I'm only a few chapters in, but it definitely fills in a lot of blanks from PIC S1 like "Who is Raffi and why are she and Picard suddenly BFFs?" After reading her introduction, yeah, I'd want to be best friends with her, too.

It puts so much of the first season into context that I felt was missing when I watched it.

Thanks for the recomendation.

Lol, well, maybe if Eeyore would can it once in a while and just let people enjoy things....

The genre doesn't exist, but it should: "Bedtime Stories: Narrated by Morgan Freeman and Stepehn Fry".

Seriously, this. I can't stand to read "the classics" but I love reading things that interest me. Would be nice if schools recognized that and encouraged reading just for the sake of it rather than forcing kids to trudge through endless stanzas of "ye art incorrect and thou must protest this injustice. Oh Horatio! Oh, lamentation this! Lamentation that!" Like, fuck, I lost the plot 3 pages of lamentations ago.

Just let kids do book reports on Harry Potter (or whatever's cool these days). At least they're reading and their brain cells are firing.

Provided it's got a decent narrator, audiobooks are like literal bedtime stories, and a lot of players have "sleep mode" that will either set a timer or stop it after the current chapter. Seems like an easy way to get people into them, IMO.

I have two of Stephen Fry's autobiographies on audiobook and would basically let his smooth voice lull me to sleep. 😆

Ugh, I had the Sega Master System version (same game) and it was pretty awful.

Skip episodes become brand new episodes after enough time has passed!

They absolutely do! I was thinking that earlier. They become like your own personal "lost episodes".

VOY has, by far, the most "skip" episodes for me. Other than "Threshold", they're all Chakotay episodes (Tattoo, Nemesis, Initiations, The Fight). Don't get me wrong. I love Chakotay as a character, but Robert Beltran's wooden performance is just hard to watch when the rest of the cast isn't there to offset it.

Maybe it's because it's shorter, but I don't think there are any ENT episodes I skip (not even the finale)

Fair (counter) point. That was basically a clip show which are fair game for skips especially with home media / streaming.

The only thing worse than that is emailing them a simple boolean question and then your phone rings.

LOL. I would try, too.

I don't think I've done a re-watch of LD yet, but I tend to skip very few episodes these days and start from the beginning.

Like, I used to always skip "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" but I didn't on the last circuit. It's definitely not one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it that latest time around where I hadn't before. So now I tend to watch them all even if it's on my usual skip list.

I'll admit, this was both funnier and better photoshopped in my head:

I don't think it's the fact that certain parts of the country in Sinclair footprints will not see it on TV. It's that Sinclair is wielding it's massive footprint as a [partisan] weapon.

Lol, I think that's how I learned it was possible, too. yt-dlp uses the title as the filename, and all of the emojis came along with it. Was trying to rename them from terminal, but couldn't do much when half the filenames started with the fire emoji lol.

Someone with musical talent, please start a band and name it "Lesbian Space Crimes" 😆

I still call it trashy.

Probably just smells like old upholstery. Taxidermied animals don't really have a smell

I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a little lot inside when I learned that.
