“I realized just how left-wing that show is.”
Watch some Star Trek, post Kirk. Holy cow! Can’t even watch it anymore.
In the last year I re-watched TOS and really enjoyed it. Then I tried re-watching TNG. I had to quit. Not just the sledgehammer messages, but I realized there was only one person on that show that could act. I guess back in the day I was such a Trekkie I didn't notice the first time through.
