Me when I have a migraine

You've just described Lemmy

Knowing what the different States are and different cities (for the title text) is pretty important. As someone who is from outside the United States, I wouldn't've been surprised if "Pennsylvania Wiring" was really a standard of wiring.

Well you should get your memory checked out because I don't remember it either and I have a terrible memory.

It's funny how the astronaut is leaning around it

It's mostly episodic like the original series and 90s Trek but it has some season long story arcs. But it's modern in its style of telling. It's funny without resorting to being MCU quippy. And the science is closer to modern science fiction rather than TOS' parallel worlds pattern.

That said, it has a mix of action and moral dilemma and politics. There are "needs of the many" stories that don't have clear right or wrong, the psychological impact from the horrors of war stories, even a courtroom episode that rivaled the best ones from TOS and TNG. But there are also flashy fan servicey episodes that are just fun.

I suggest giving the first episode a go. It sets the mood for the rest of the first two seasons. Each episode brings something different, but I think the first episode really speaks to what the series is trying to be.

I'm pretty sure 8ft is less than 2.4km

My understanding is it has to do with deleted comments not having a placeholder, so the comments you do see look like they're nested strangely

I think it's as alien of the week as we can get while still having meaningful character growth. Each episode is pretty well contained and can be enjoyed in a vacuum. Yes, you get more enjoyment from seeing the payoff of character arcs and relationships, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Even classic 90s Trek had season long arcs and rewarded viewers who joined in every week.

On top of feeling real, it feels true to the characters that the show has developed over the past two seasons. It's not empathetic of her, but this feels exactly like the Christine we've been shown.

On top of that, it's a good lead up into the awkward relationship we got in TOS between the characters. Where Chapel seemed to sadly crush on Spock from afar.
