From what I've seen most of the K dramas on Netflix have 8 to 16 episodes and tell a complete story which makes them the perfect length if you don't want to commit to a show spanning hundreds of episodes. Some of my favorites in addition to Beyond Evil and Extracurricular which were both top notch:

My Name

Itaewon Class

Kingdom

The Glory

Stranger

Sweet Home

Law School

Hotel del Luna

Bloodhounds (currently watching)

These are all over the map thematically so hope you find one or more you enjoy!

For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9's "Playing God" had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it's about halfway into the video below:

Thanks for this! Another new channel to subscribe to for me after discovering Junkball a few months ago and binging most of his videos in a few days.

Somehow I've gone my entire life not knowing this monstrosity existed and is actually canon. Now I have to look for it in my current rewatch of DS9 when I get to the Dominion War.

I'm completely torn on it. It looks hideous but it makes sense as to why it exists. Like everyone else, I also thought it was too convenient that Voyager's appearance didn't change as it tried to return home, getting damaged by enemies or having bits simply wearing out and needing replacement without the luxury of Federation starbases around.

A-freaking-men. Orville held down the camp while Discovery was busy doing whatever it was trying to do, spitting out endless melodrama, crises, and crying. I definitely enjoyed some Orville episodes but the show as a whole just felt like a pale imitation of Star Trek. No doubt MacFarlane can write/produce a good Trek-style episode but I'm not convinced he can run a whole Star Trek show.

I love SNW and Lower Decks. Between those shows and Prodigy (which goes weirdly dark at times for a show aimed at kids), I won't miss Orville if the third season was its final one.

I spent more than $20 on a pizza the other day. Considering the many hundreds, if not thousands of hours, I used Sync for Reddit over 5 or 6 years, $20 is a no brainer. That said, I wouldn't pay the $100 lifetime considering because I don't need the perks associated with it and who knows if Lemmy will be around that long (I hope it will but you never know).

If I'm not mistaken Sync's dev is a relatively young guy (I recall reading he was a student a few years back) which likely means he hasn't experienced the joys of vision going downhill with age like many of us old farts have.

Use the app that works for you. That's why many of us are here, because Reddit took away that option to push their shit tier official app that's far inferior to literally every third party app I ever tried.

No thanks. I'm a huge JRPG fan but IMO the vast majority of Kemco's games are garbage.

Just like all Orions aren't pirates, not all Klingons like opera. Some of them like...whatever that was that they sang.

I was fully expecting Pike to say something along the lines of "you mean we have to sing once more, with feeling?" as a not-so-subtle nod to Buffy.

I didn't think they'd skip the opportunity to give us singing Klingons but the end result was just...wow. chef's kiss

I absolutely love Pike's "exasperated" face. It's possibly a bit overused this season but it cracks me up every single time because it's how I'd probably react if I were in his shoes and it's so unlike how the previous Starfleet ship captains would react, even when the situation fully merited it.

That wallpaper is great!

I don't understand the "slowly" part at all. I joined Lemmy about a month ago when Reddit third party apps went dark. Lemmy was largely a ghost town then, with most of the relatively mainstream communities I sought out having newest posts that were days or even weeks old. That desolation was gone after the first few days, with a ton more engagement from others who migrated over and a steady stream of new content. The communities I frequent have grown by leaps and bounds since then. "Slow" isn't a word I'd use to describe Lemmy's growth.

I moved into my condo in 2010. The bathroom includes a vanity mirror with 6 incandescent bulbs over it. I only have 3 on at any given time since all 6 on at the same time is annoyingly bright. I want to replace them but it seems wasteful to chuck them in the garbage when they still work.

Niagara with a few minor settings tweaks.

Amen. Not so much an issue for 40 year old me but I had so many friends in my younger days who didn't own one because they didn't think they needed it...until they needed it.

Somebody mentioned Dr. Pimple Popper to me recently and I thought they were making up an over-the-top fake reality show title. Imagine my shock when I found out that it was a real show. There's a reason I haven't watched anything aside from sports on network/cable TV in years.
