Too busy with other shows to watch much, but I watched these.

Lower Decks - Wej Duj

Lower Decks - First First Contact

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 2x05 Charades
  • 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.

If we're including deuterocanonical/apocryphal shows, I watched several episodes of Babylon 5.

[-] stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

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!

Like any star trek, you have to get to at least season 2 before it gets good. The acting in season 1 is pretty abysmal.

[-] stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

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.

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

Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!
