@piersb - There were so many changes between the pilot movie and the series, that The Gathering isn't completely necessary. But if you do watch it, there are actually a few neat clues to the overall arc hidden here and there.

Watching a YouTube channel reacting and analyzing every Star Trek episode with a twist - they've NEVER seen Star Trek before. Ever. Any iteration.

Something I found funny was their reaction to Season 1 of TNG. Season 1 is pretty bad compared to the later seasons...but they've never SEEN the later seasons. And they LOVE it.

It's funny, but I remember watching those episodes and loving them as well. And really shows that while we can say things about Season 1 of Trek, or Season 1 of Babylon 5 being pretty bad, there was STILL something there to keep it going past Season 1, and these folks are rekindling a love for those "bad" episodes.

@cubeyterra - We just hit 0C. Expecting to get down to -10C before this is all over.

@pandora_parrot - If anything, watch Sleeping in Light. That's a Must See.

Honestly, Season 5 comes across almost as an appendix to the first four. Important, for sure. But not necessary.

SNOW!

Hearing the rain come down right now, which makes me glad that I got groceries last night, as the temps are about to plummet. Which means anything left on the roads will all turn to ice here in an hour or so....

Seeing that it's going to rain or snow in the morning, and then freeze around the time I wake up, I ran out and got groceries for next week not only early, but at 12:30AM.

Thank goodness for late night grocery stores....

I haven't done a cross-country roadtrip in five years. Haven't really done a local roadtrip in six months. Haven't visited Canada in about the same about of time.

Getting itchy for a roadtrip, but I need to save as much cash as I can.

I was glad to know her, and sad to see her go.

It's going to get very cold. That means it's time. TIME FOR YETO'S SUPERB SOUP.

Looks like it'll be cold, but snowless. Still gonna grab groceries early Thursday, though - Any rain or snow that freezes later in the day is just gonna freeze solid and stick around until at least Wednesday.

@Mondobizarrro - I only watch it in the original Japanese. Came watch the dubs cause...that's not how I hear the Lovely Angels!

@Mondobizarrro - it is!
