  • Has potential, but too much swearing

    The idea of seeing the show through someone’s eyes for the first time is a good one and interesting points are brought up in each episode. The thing that is most off putting to me, however, is the frequency of swearing. I don’t mind swearing every now and then to add emphasis or make a joke, but when it is every other sentence it comes off as lazy and tiresome.

  • I've been doing a rewatch of all of Star Trek, including TOS and TNG, and this has been a great way to keep up with it and think more deeply about the episodes (even if 'thinking deeply' means considering how much better any individual episode would have been if time travel were involved). Great content!
