This is very cool.

Makes me think about how "ject" lives on in so many words.

What's the unit conversion between esper rating and midichlorian count?

First time I saw him outside Star Trek was in a Scarlett O'Hara TV miniseries.

Imagine my surprise when he's driving her around in a horse and buggy: an olde time transporter chief!

I felt like in S4 they really hit a balance between episodic and serialized star trek. The arcs are 2-3 episodes and tightly focused. The standalone episodes seemed like a way to walk back from the whole season arc in S3.

Watching it now, S3 feels ahead of its time. I want to believe there is enough content to edit it down to a Netflix style 10 episode season of all the best parts.

Also augment trilogy deserves praise for shooting Archer out of a hatch into deep space and transporting him mid-trajectory and half-dead from exposure. He's seen some shit.

I hear ya, not every trek is everyone's cup of tea. Any particular reasons jump out to you what was so boring?

His imdb page is suprisingly prolific https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/ 151 roles since 1973 is a pretty damn good run.

Getting from there to here 👌

For the first two seasons I would listen to right up I til the title card disappeared, just long enough for the first two verses and that sweet whiff of a strings section.

Yes! They are so fallible, and believably so most the time, that I really appreciated their missteps.

The only time I didn't appreciate thinking was when it decontamination time. I just pretend it is like watching an old b/w show with an embedded detergent ad: an unfortunate relic of its time that is just baked into it.
