Expectations are one of the biggest pitfalls for me. Whether they be mine, a friend/family member, a work manager, coworker, or sometimes others. It gets to me and can make me feel very frustrated and/or overwhelmed.

It's been a loooonnnngggg journey for me to better understand that this is one of my triggers and how to best prevent it and work with it when it happens. (It's not pretty at times but showing up to fight the good fight is better than cowering to it IMO.)

Yeah, I had read a few comments a while ago from people that didn't seem to like ST:E. I've done my best to be the judge of it myself. Like any show really, the first season tends to be the season where they try to figure out how to run the show. Season 1 was good collectively in my book. Just did a count of my ratings of each episode from it and counted ten episodes that I rated 8 or higher. Meaning that 38% of the episodes stood out to me. Not bad at all for a first season in my book.

(You got me interested in figuring out what my mean ratings were per season. Season 1 - 7.26 mean, Season 2 - 7.72 mean, and Season 3 - 7.95 mean.)

I'm still making my way through the chronological order of Star Trek. I'm halfway through season 4 (last season) of Star Trek: Enterprise. I've been enjoying it.

You're welcome! I found myself in the same boat. I've been on kind of a kick, with 'wise sayings' and other related things. Mostly for personal betterment but partially for a character I'm crafting for a story I'll be writing.

I've come to accept that Firefly is never coming back. But I have a few moments when I think about how it would have gone if HBO or some other related cable channel picked up the torch and ran with it. It would have been great to get a minimum of 3 seasons out of that show. It seemed like they had enough content and character building to show.

Yeah, I don't struggle with boycotting Amazon. The only times I've really used Amazon in the past have been for PC parts, audio headphones, and a random thing or two. I do my absolute best not to buy needless things as it is, and I know that there are plenty of other websites to use if I really need to get something online. (I knew this was gonna come in handy one day ha.) Here's a website called amazonalts.org. It's curated websites/online stores for the ethical consumer in mind. The categories are Food, Home, Clothes, Beauty, Books, Electronics, and Miscellaneous.

Actually, he's an 'angel' that has fallen (or returned to Earth because 'God' got so tired of dealing with him) from heaven. That's why they play church choir music during the intro scene.

You're welcome

I'll be watching the last two episodes of Star Trek Enterprise season 3. I'm looking forward to the ending of the season. One more season to go, and then I proceed to Star Trek: Discovery. All part of my astronomical goal to watch all of the Star Trek shows and movies in chronological order.
