    I’ll be damned if I’m going through a singing episode.

    You simply cannot see the wisdom of Mahanit.

    I usually don’t like most singing episodes, but I liked the SNW one.

    I was also never into TOS but SNW is great.

    Lower Decks has become a comfort show.

    So far discovery has held my interest, but there are so so many problems I have while watching it… My head cannon is that it’s an alternate time line that diverged thousands of years ago.

    I don’t see myself watching Picard. I feel like Star Trek TNG left it at a good point with Insurrection (apologies to people who hated it, but it was my introduction to star trek and has a special nostalgia that I get to laugh about the terrible and/or poorly written parts)

    Also I pretend nemesis doesn’t exist.

    I don’t care for a lot of discovery, but I can’t say it’s not entertaining. I have made it to season 2 episode 9 so far. Not sure why but I stopped there and picked up another show.

    It doesn’t rank in my top 3 series, but it’s not deserving of all the hate it gets.

    I love strange new worlds, haven’t seen the newest season yet but I’m working on rewatching the whole series.

    I haven’t seen Picard, and honestly I don’t think I will. I won’t pass judgment on it’s quality, as I haven’t seen any of it, but I know enough to know I might be disappointed.

    And if I’m being honest with myself I just want to keep the nostalgia of TNG the way it is: Pretending Nemesis never happened.

    The new shows are overall good. Every show has its hits and misses. I skip a lot of season 1 TNG.

    And I skip the intro of every Enterprise episode. No, I don’t have enough faith, at least not while watching the show. It’s a banger though and in my Playlist.

    It’s okay to not like the new shows, it’s not okay to shit on other people who do.

    I’d love to be able to repurpose my old kindles. I have 3 of them that have been gifted over the years and another two that I could probably just ask for since family members have newer ones.

    Ideally I just want to have a simple ebook reader and nothing else for at least two of them.

    The only issue is from the (admittedly small) searching I’ve done, they aren’t easy to root or install custom roms due to the software version or how new they are. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know what I’m even looking for.

    I’d rather reuse things I already have than buy a new tablet just to read books on, especially since it seems like they’re just overpriced generic crap that all looks and mostly feels the same.
