Took me over a decade, but today I finally finished reading my 3rd round of Lord of the Rings!!

Next I’ll be starting Neuromancer.

And once I’ve finished audio-reading the latter half of β€œPillars of the Earth,” I’ll be doing LotR *again* with the Andy Serkis narration. I’m super excited for that!

Star Trek Picard scene. A middle aged man with a grey goatee sits in a dark room and looks like he's contemplating life and the meaningless of it all. Blue muted light is shown in the background, and he's holding a hand up next to his face as if he's pondering out loud. Closed caption reads, "I'm just some dipshit from Chicago."

I’ve been a huge fan of these arrangers for 15 years, and I am *beyond* saddened that I won’t be attending when they’ve finally come near me - especially for the FF6 suite. I truly hope they’ll one day return to Vancouver/Seattle.

The Burn(...ham, lol) was dumb, and its cause was kinda ripped from TNG's Future Imperfect.
I actually found myself enjoying a good chunk of Discovery Season 5, flaws and all. Shame it took the finale for the show to finally find some footing.
I liked half of SNW S2, but still looking forward to S3!

That list really is the tip of the iceberg of stuff I'm into. Should have at least made some room for Farscape. At least I've also got all of SG1 and New-BSG under my belt. I still have the complete old-BSG that I need to hop on as well. ...so much tv πŸ˜…

Justin Long as Brandon from Galaxy Quest saying "I understand completely that it's just a TV show"

I've always said Star Trek is practically my bible - classic testament preferred. It's my own set of stories that's morally guided me and resonated with me better than any religion ever did, personally, and I try to be a better person per its examples.

...but most importantly:

That last part, I can argue the same about the movie itself...it's still no excuse to stoop lower.

You liked "Section 31?" Cool!
I didn't. Also cool.

No one has a monopoly over anyone else's experiences as a fan of anything.

This. All of this. So much.

I do staunchly dislike "Section 31," and I've wanted Kurtzman out since Discovery S2. I'm allowed those opinions...but harassment and d3^t# threats to anyone over something as trivial as my favorite piece of media is petty, and is antithetic as to why I like Star Trek.
