[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8084510, member: 59082"] A few weeks ago I started binge re-watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, which while I've seen probably 80% of the episodes, never seen all the way through and haven't really watched much of since it came out. First of all, while Season One is famously sub-par, I actually thought S2 was worse, or at least not better enough to make up for the loss of that fresh feeling. I'm now deep into S3 and there seems to be a marked improvement. Secondly, the show is good. Sometimes really good, and in stark contrast to the shows of the last couple decades in terms of its optimism and big-thinking. I can contrast this with the show [I]Sharp Objects, [/I]which I just watched and enjoyed, but--while a very different genre--was just so damn dark and depressing, with no sense of hope about humanity. I really like the fact that Gene Roddenberry tried to depict a future humanity that had actually evolved in terms of culture and relationships, not just technologically. Most of all, it is really fun to watch a show not focused on human pathos or trauma, but Big Ideas. Anyhow, I plan to continue my Startrekaganza for months to come, watching the rest of TNG and re-watching the films and then moving on to [I]Picard, [/I]which I still haven't seen. After that, I'll play it by ear. I might go back and finish the first season of [I]Discovery, [/I]watch the second season, or maybe dive into either [I]Deep Space Nine [/I](which I never watched a full episode of) or [I]Voyager [/I](which I only watched the first season of). I may or may not try [I]Enterprise. [/I]I love the original series, but have watched some of those more recently. [/QUOTE]
