    I'm not going to post a wall of text about Sherlock Holmes, and what Watson said about his lack of interest in things that didn't directly affect him and things he couldn't affect, but this summed it up for me. Watson was going on about Copernican theory and Holmes was having none of it.

    “What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently; “you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.”

    I'm very happy with my '99 Ford Ranger. I will repair it until I can't safely drive, or the heat death of the universe. Which ever comes first.

    Yeah, but those are actually pretty good. But we did cut it into 4ths.

    There really is no order, and it's not episodic, so if you skip some you aren't going to be lost.

    Except for 'Space Seed', the basis for Star Trek 2 I'd say there isn't anything you HAVE to watch. And The City on the Edge of Forever is just a great story.

    Live long and prosper.
