I added a new piece of evidence to the mix if you're interested that may support the second point.
Gotta agree with Data's Day. In that same vein, I also love Hero Worship.
Using book mode, I once typed the entirety of The Inner Light script in Monkeytype. My meme description of that episode is "Picard plays Animal Crossing VR and then has his entire save deleted."
You could say it was earl grey hot.
Less Perfect DOS VGA is what I use in my terminal on my desktop since I use the Chicago95 theme.
OpenTTD Mono is also cool, though. It almost gives Apple Chicago font vibes.
Ransom: "Just keep circling."
10-12? I was sneakily joining my mom's TNG watch sessions when I was 7! 😂
Though I enjoyed Star Trek, I wasn't watching whole series until 2020 or so. Funny enough, VOY Endgame came out four days after my parent's wedding, which my dad had to sit with my mom for.
Do you count The Inner Light as one of the cozy episodes or stressful episodes?
Not to mention that great soundtrack. Honestly, Lower Decks truly has the most memorable soundtrack of pretty much any Star Trek post-VOY. No generic cinematic fare for me.
Usually, no, especially with DS9 (Even that crappy spread-up version with the cheap drum track tacked on top used after season 4.)
However, as I was watching Prodigy on my desktop, my behavior varied. For a while, I watched the whole intro, but my anticipation became too much and I began skipping right through it as I got through season 2.
It almost sounds like you're trying to impress Captain Freeman. Just replace "beautiful" with "handsome".
I do enjoy the IDW comics quite a bit...
Mr. Billup's orientation has always alluded and intrigued me.
I think most evidence points to him being asexual (like his comment in 2x07 "Will it hurt" maybe implying he doesn't experience attraction and his general lack of demonstration of any romantic interest where every other senior officer does).
However, there are a couple of things that might point to him being gay, bi, or pan. His hologram duplicate in Crisis Point: Rise of Vindicta seemed to show almost a romantic interest in Rutherford's character, although it could just be wanting a platonic bestie to share his engineering hyperfixation with (the platonic aspect being seen in his loneliness in the mess hall at the end of the episode). In addition, in 2x07, the soldiers sent by the queen could be evidence of her knowing Billup's orientation.
