I never thought I'd stop watching Trek, but the 90 minutes total of actually good Picard, and the ridiculousness of Disco just wore me down.
Worth watching then?
Edit: okay then! Will try and catch it.

trim Link ParentI enjoyed the D&D movie, but the thought of another modern Trek film fills me with trepidation.

The show certainly has had its ups and ups over the years for sure. I can't say that I've actively disliked any of it though. I even got a kick out of The Happiness Patrol, which many consider a classic Who nadir, I suppose.
Was on a work trip the other day and spotted a Dalek in the BBC Television centre I was walking past. That was cool. Had to get a selfie. And at a recent comic con got a photo with an Ood cosplayer :) I think he was happy anyone recognised an Ood :)

All the birthdays, trips away, all the smiles and laughs, I have lots of detail. The broken bone incident, the need for an operation, those kind of events are much more abstract memories.

In my little part of the UK, the McD near me (and KFC actually) are always wedged up with delivery drivers and riders. They get priority service on their orders, and the numbers of them make the drive through queues totally excessive. The laughably small number of 'grill parking' slots are never available and the entire area is a morass of cars.
If you thought to bypass the chaos by walking there and sitting down, the food priority for the delivery services mean long waits for mediocre cold expensive food substitute.
Not a fan.
