I watch TV while eating, because TV takes my mind off the textures of the food and helps me dissociate from eating. I also have a very active imagination and ability to immerse myself in a show

Enterprise seems to have characters beaten bloody, covered in soot, drenched in sweat or slime, or poisoned by trellium-D every other episode. It's very hard to watch Enterprise compared to the rest of Star Trek

Heh. While I get it that some people are more squeamish, I never had a problem with showing stuff like that in ST. I found the extreme sanitisation of older Treks (and other shows/media of those eras) in this regard pretty annoying.

In fact, I still want that Tarantino Trek movie.

The sanitation is part of the charm, IMO.

I can see fhat, but I personally find it weird, at least when going back after ENT.

I just don't quite get why society at some point decided that simulated violence is ok but blood isn't. It just goes hand in hand...
