Subject: Star Trek: general discussion-Picard, Discovery, Lower Decks (and Orville)
When I, and other British Dakkanauts of similar undisclosed vintage, were Nippers, we basically had 4 terrestrial channels, and a VHS if you were somewhat lucky.
Which meant we had to wait for movies on the TV. Search for Spock was the one I most often saw (maybe grandparents had recorded it, but don’t quote me on that)
Wrath of Khan I have a very, very specific memory of. That everytime it was on, we weren’t just having a day out, but were on our way home. And had stopped in at the same Chippy. Specifically one near Blackhall in Edinburgh. I don’t think it’s there anymore, but was next door to, or a couple of doors down, from the Blackhall Lounge.
So there’s some odds and ends from my sad brain and it’s random memories for you.

Ever wished you could unlearn something?
I was watching Star Trek Voyager Season 3, and about to head into Season 4. When I decided to learn why Jennifer Lien (aka Kes) left the show.
Whew. Mental issues and poor storylines. Jennifer had a bad time with life after Voyager. Including multiple arrests for indecent exposure and other things. She no longer acts and has gone into the medical field.
It makes me sad when people don't succeed in life. It also makes me sad when I realize I have 4 more seasons of Voyager to watch. (It's still better than Discovery).

Yes it's nostalgia porn, but I love when modern trek goes and backfills areas of canon from the older series

Gorn fighters don’t half remind me of the Chigs from out of off of Space Above and Beyond.
On my list of stuff to hope Netflix does a remake of
They do bear a resemblance. I don’t know how I’d think of a remake; I got the DVD a few years ago and it has stood up remarkably well (if a bit 90’s in places!), certainly better than I had expected.
