cmk418Was up late watching hockey last night so this will be quick.
Watched "Starfleet Academy" tonight. This was mostly a setup episode and had its moments, but was fairly standard compared to some of the others we've seen. The bonding ceremony in the beginning was nice. Can't believe that the season is ending next week. I like the 10 episode seasons, but I think they should accelerate the time between them, so we're not waiting forever to find out what happens next. We grew up on 22-episode seasons with reruns in the summer (at least I did) and you could do a one-off, one-on thing for series now and still call them seasons 1 and 2. It's not like there's DVD revenue that's going to be generated because not many people are buying physical media when they can stream it. Turning us into a binge-watching society and then making us wait a year or longer between seasons is crazy. /end rant
So far, the Blues have made zero successful trades because no one wants to waive their NTC to go to beautiful Buffalo. Maybe tomorrow.
That's it for now. See you all tomorrow!

Date: 2026-03-06 09:47 am (UTC)Did try watching Discovery; when I finally found it somewhere I could watch it; not sure if it was the pilot or not, but I never actually finished the episode.
Stopped being a Trek fan I guess; grew up on the hope that Trek gave me but became a fan because of Diane Duane's Rihannsu and John M. Ford's Klingons in The Final Reflection, enjoyed TNG despite not liking most of the main cast, and I love DS9 because of the incredible writing for the supporting characters.
But since then it feels like Trek has become something I can live without.
It's just another bunch of shows they've slapped a label on without understanding the magic, almost as if the hope for us the show embodied doesn't belong in our world.
It's just another corporate brand now; that depresses me.
I do not want to see the magic dulled for Buffy and Firefly the way that Doctor Who and Star Trek have been. I am resigned to that happening though.
Sad to say the Hockey results were depressingly predictable at the Olympics; leastways the Belfast Giants are having a great season this year. I hope I'll get over there to see at least one home game before I pop my clogs.
