    I hope so, I guess really I’m sad cause humanity’s aspirations are just not sellable anymore to a mass market. At this point i have created a plex box ripped all my DVDs ans Blu-rays of old trek and use the Playlist feature with random to create my own trek channel. I know it’s pathetic but it brings me confort.

      I think that is a beautiful thing, not a pathetic one. If it brings you confort there is no shame at staying under a warm Trek blanket, I survived a year of lame superior school studies by binge watching the Star Trek movies DVD box.

      I now have all of Star Trek on my NAS + Plex and I often like to fall asleep at night listening to an old TNG, or even Enterprise (it’s been a long road).

        my wife and I even fall asleep to the enterprise background engine noise on loop. It may sound counter intuitive but you know that episode of DS9 where Miles gets locked away for like 30 years but it was all in his mind for a few minutes?

        Hard Time it’s called. We’ll when I’m having one of bad PTSD days from my time in the service. I put on that episode to calm me down. It’s like Julian puts his hand on my chest and tells everything maybe bad today but we will get through it and tomorrow maybe a little bit better. That little scene at the end has pulled me back from the edge more than once.
