I won't stand for this "Ode to Spot" slander. It's Data's underrated masterpiece!

I attended a top 100 public high school in America, where we were taught Greek and Roman mythology. The problem wasn’t that the subject wasn’t offered, it was that a sizable portion of students weren’t paying attention. Even among those who did, few retained the knowledge beyond the next exam. The real issue with American education isn’t just what’s being taught but how it’s being taught. Subjects aren’t presented in a way that truly engages students or encourages long-term retention.

This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse in this regard though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:

A) Be celibate

B) Move somewhere else

C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

Single Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being Progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

100%. The graphics may be dated but gen 2 is peak Pokemon aesthetic. Peak sprites and soundtrack.

So they're all at least 5 months old? Must be bringing their girlfriends.

Maybe Christianity wasn't misogynistic enough?

The alternative is going to be driving on neglected highways that will destroy your vehicle or taking toll roads. Traveling across America is about to become a lot less safe and a lot more inconvenient. I wonder how passenger railways are doing?

I definitely agree that DS9 is the most consistantly good Star Trek. TNG and VOY reach the same highs, but there's a lot more lows in between them.

I would definitely recommend finishing TNG! Seasons 5 and 6 are peak!

I think an attachment to the characters, nostalgic or otherwise, is necessary to enjoy all of TNG. That way even in bad episodes, it's character you enjoy just doing silly things. Without that attachment A LOT of TNG can be hard to get through.

I tend to play random TNG episodes when I'm doing chores around the house. If TNG is what's playing on the P+ Star Trek Channel I'll usually just put that on. Did some early Spring cleaning this week and had a very random selection of TNG episodes playing. Can't believe Paramount put Code Of Honor in the mix there, but maybe it truly is random.

Been on a Trek rewatch kick again, to combat the depressing reality we live in. Rewatched the begining on DS9 season 6. Ep1 A Time to Stand through Ep13 Far Beyond the Stars. I'd argue that this might be the strongest string of Trek episodes in any series!

Rewatched my favorite Voyager episode too, Counterpoint. I tend to hate on Voyager a bit, but there are some really fantastic episodes mixed in with all the mid ones. Counterpoint would easily make it to my top 10 Trek episodes of all time list!

As someone who loves TNG, it's a very mixed bag of a show. It has very high highs, and very low lows. It's a product of its era of television for better or worse.
