I also love that you said β€œtuning into,” as it’s such a wonderful phrase that used to be very precise and now it’s a fun term of art that we still use. I love it, and thank you for letting me have my old person moment.

Strange new worlds lately. I have a hard time watching some of the darker story lines like Picard, but I still love all things Star Trek.

Nice!! I've heard that's quite good, but can't say I know much about it.

My parents absolutely loved Next Generation... I remember watching that one when I was about 10 years old bored as hell, haha. I rewatched it during COVID and had a much more enjoyable time as an adult. I've yet to watch Picard, but need to check it out!

I rewatch old trek episodes regularly. It is a show that has really done a lot to shape who I am. I got my sense of empathy in part from Star Trek.

Ooh, yeah, I've come back to Trek for the first time since the early days of TNG. Strange New Worlds has been my jam, and I've gotta download a bunch of eps to put on the iPad for the flights and train transfers for my upcoming Europe vacation.
