Interesting post, still don't understand why you devote so much time to re-watching the Star Trek series when there is so much more good entertainment to move on to, but no judgement, I re-watched the TMNT cartoons on VHS, Clear and Present Danger and The Rock more times than I can count.

Pet peeve I try not to let bother me, but usually does because I'm an ass hole: Suspension of disbelief in entertainment medias, regardless of classification of Science Fiction. Don't understand why people would be dissatisfied with something because they don't find it believable. I typically try to learn from medias outside of entertainment, and even then I just end up forgetting because I have a tough time internalizing concepts that don't interest me in general (I don't know how I'm making it work in the engineering world). Are people trying to learn from television and movies, does that set certain movies apart from the pack? I think you shut yourself off to a lot of quality product with this notion and set a standard too high to meet, thus creating an inevitable destiny of disappointment in your movie and television choices.

Yeah, Chuck fucks my shit up...
