    I was aware of that warning, but no mention of a tornado threat in the text. It's hard to tell having to compare against velocity data from DIX and LWX

    Anyone else smell a burning smell, almost like ozone today? Noticed it in my neighborhood this morning. 

    Probably from the wildfire smoke coming down from Canada.

    Sounds like the tornado in Greenwood, DE was pretty bad, a lot of damage reports coming in
    Missed me by a few miles...friend nearly lost a roof. Pretty intense for this area

    Not gonna lie, Bar Rescue is kinda fun to watch! And yeah, Star Trek....THAT'S the reason I subscribed to P+ in the first place, and there's a whole lot to choose from, obviously. ST: Strange New Worlds Season 1 is GREAT from start to finish, INCREDIBLE casting, good writing/stories, although they'll have to try to avoid the "sophomore slump" going forward. ST: Lower Decks is also a new favorite, not because it's animated, but because the show is reverent about ALL of the ST TV/movie canon that came before.

    ST: Picard...
    Season 1 = Not bad
    Season 2 = Watchable, but UGH...must ST always go back to the "time travel" trough???
    Season 3 (current) = Some of the best ST I've seen in 40 years, and I suspect it's going to end up being a GREAT send-off for the Next Generation cast (that the ST: Nemesis movie NEVER was).

    ST: Discovery -- AVOID AT ALL COSTS. This show is abysmal, the writing has been lazy and essentially "called-in" since it debuted 5-6 years ago. Cast is okay, but the stories and changes/updates they ATTEMPTED to make to a half decade of canon in the first two seasons...shame on them. The only way they could possibly redeem this shitshow was to move the ship/cast 3,000 years into the future at the start of Season 3 and going forward, so that they could make up WHATEVER nonsensical crap they wanted to in the far distant future. Good riddance. In fact, die in the future, Discovery...which hopefully it/they will since this coming season is (thankfully) its last.

    Finally -- after all of that word salad, I should state that ST: Deep Space Nine remains the peak experience of ST watching. Incredible casting, thoughtful and insightful writing from start to finish over SEVEN seasons, the arguable apogee of TV-based ST. I watched DS9 over seven years in its original run from 1993-2000....but if you give it a try now, in this streaming/bingeing environment that many of us currently live within, I can almost guarantee you that you'll be tempted to watch more than one episode at a time, to see what happens next.

    I haven't started S3 of Picard, but I'm glad to hear it'll at least be watchable. The first 2 seasons were OK, but they never really "felt" like authentic Trek to me....Lower Decks I'll agree with you is great and does capture that "feel" more often, and if you've watched at least 2 different Trek series there are a ton of Easter eggs and homages to past shows that had me rolling more than once. It's nice to know that Trek can translate well to humor/animation, and still be able to pull it off.

     

    Have to agree with you on Disco, I tried multiple times, and just could never really get into it.....way overused the Mirror Universe trope, and the whole Red Angel thing was about where I just plain lost interest.....maybe one day I'll get around to watching the rest, at least from a completion standpoint.

     

    If you liked Lower Decks, you may also like Prodigy.... granted its geared towards kids, but I still feel like it has some really good writing, even if it feels just a little Star-Wars-y at times, I have thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

    Haven't seem SNW yet, but I have yet to hear anything bad about it, which is surprising considering how most 1st seasons of Trek shows usually go.

     

     

    DS9, no argument here. It rarely shows its age, and watches more like something written far more recently than 20+ years ago. Just about every plotline feels relevant, perhaps even more so in a post 9/11 world. Remains my favorite out of every Trek I've watched up to this point. "In The Pale Moonlight" is still to this day some of the finest writing I have ever seen in television, Trek or otherwise.
