    Da>     Everyone brought up some great points. First, I do hate cliff   
    Da> hangers at the end of a season. That goes for any show, not just Star   
    Da> Trek. I hate waiting months or even up to a year to know what happened.   
    Da> It just happened tonight with the Loki show on Disney+. It annoys me.   
      
   Cliffhangers suck. This is why I don't watch many shows these days. If you   
   watched Breaking Bad, like I did, they'd always have a hanging chad at the end   
   of each episode. Mini-cliffhangers and three to four subplots left unresolved   
   for a few episodes. Never were episodes ended cleanly. Drove me nuts. I just   
   wanted, one time, to see a clean ending.   
      
   Even the finale ended with a cliffhanger. Yeah Walt was dead but, what about   
   Jesse? Years had to pass before they decided to give him a movie to resolve   
   that bit. Anyhoo, that's my mini-rant.   
      
    Da>     Someone brought up Wesley and hinting that he was annoying. He was   
    Da> an OK character at best. One thing that i thought was just dumb was kids   
    Da> and families living on the Enterprise in TNG. I know what was a popular   
    Da> thing in the first 2 seasons (i think) but it is a dumb decision. How   
    Da> often are Starfleet ships going into danger. To me, it is like families   
    Da> living on battleships during World War 2!!! hahahahaha   
      
   Wesley was annoying to me because the guy couldn't act and I hated his   
   overalls. My high school girlfriend thought I resembled him so she had   
   posters of him on her bedroom wall. Eyeroll haven.   
      
   The family concept, on the enterprise, didn't sound like a bad idea for me at   
   the time. But, now that I'm in my late forties, it does now. It seemed, at   
   least in TNG, the galaxy class was the only type to have families onboard.   
      
    Da>     It is great to know that there are others with the love of Trek like   
    Da> me. I saw that someone was from Germany. Where is everyone from? I live   
    Da> in Southwest Florida near Sarasota but originally from Philadelphia.   
      
   I'm in California - Sacramento region.   
      
    Da>     I heard rumors that Star Trek Discovery may be cancelled after this   
    Da> season. I do hope not. I think they are in a position to move Star Trek   
    Da> to new areas!!. I also heard about another JJ movie. Not sure how i feel   
    Da> about that though. I like them but i share the same opinion as everyone   
    Da> that it just does not feel like Trek to me.   
      
   Discovery is a really, really lame show - lamer than Picard, but that's my   
   opinion. Anything conceived today seems to be really really bad. There are   
   moments that are star trek-like but, overall, you get my drift. I am enjoying   
   one of the canon novels though.   
      
    Da>     I have been on vacation over the last week so that is why i have not   
    Da> posted in a while. :)   
      
   Where did you go?   
      
    Da>    
    Da> LATER TREKKIES!!!!
