Dudes, we're all old.

Heh, ain't that the truth. I was 26 when this came out.

Hell I was 31 when this came out... damn

One of the best known American literary authors of the 20th century. But given his content, not really taught in schools. He was likely a bigger deal to the parents of most here than to us, as he was a bit before our time.

The first couple of episodes are slow? The first scene of the first episode has a zero-G sex scene.

(Shameless attempt to get people to watch the show.)

In 2001 when I was 19 and was new to the stock market, I used all the extra money I had at the time to buy $1000 worth of shares in Amazon for $9.08/share. I sold it off a few days later after it jumped to $11.05. I was happy to make an easy quick little profit at the time. If I'd left it in though, it would be worth $174,000 right now. I know there's no point in dwelling on 'what-ifs' but damn.

I tend to not be a really big fan of hard scifi unless the story and characters are particularly engaging.

It is like the electors hate space operas. There were some very goods ones out this past year.

God, I hate the Drumhead so much. It would have been a great episode if it had happened in DS9, where it could have gotten the necessary build-up and aftermath. But since it happens in TNG, from nowhere suddenly there's this McCarthyism in the Federation, it lasts 30% of an episode, and is then never referenced again. It was terrible.

I like them all for different reasons. I'd probably rank TNG at the top of my list and Enterprise at the bottom. Enterprise had a lot of good episodes, but the over arching time travel plot... ugh. It's hard for me to rank ToS against the others, a lot of classic sci-fi plots and that 60's camp. It has my favorite scene of all the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wphWJoliUMQ I mean you just don't get that kind of writing anymore

What Trump really needs to know is what a SHIV is, since he'll be exposed to a lot of them next year in prison.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crash was deliberate, aviation experts suggest.

This makes no sense. You turn the plane around 180 and fly it 7 hours in the other direction to commit suicide? And your copilot is none the wiser?
