It was the late 80’s, I saw Robotech which used to play after school on a local UHF channel, and also Speed Racer. Probably the first more typical Anime was renting the Super Space Force Macross movie on VHS

C64 Basic, Yggdrasil Linux. I wanted to install Minix, in the pre-Linux times, but it was beyond my abilities

You mean Cal Weathers who played Carl Weathers from Arrested Development

Old enough to have bought a new C64 from Toys R Us

I don't love musicals in particular, but aren't anti-musical, and I felt the same. The songs weren't memorable, the numbers were a bit dull, and nobody really danced much except for extras that they hired that were clearly dancers. If you're going to pull of a musical, gotta go big, SNW didn't go big.

So, the time has finally come. I want to mention that I'm not a huge fan of musicals, this translates to that tend to only watch them if external circumstances push me to watch one and I only enjoy if they're really well done. Well, circumstances have pushed me, and... it was meh.

I thought the songs weren't particularly memorable, the productions were a bit underwhelming and the dancing nearly non-existent.

That moment was when the show lost me, it was ridiculous. It reminded me of those old Art Frahm pinup posters where they depicted, against all physics and plausible circumstance, a woman's underwear suddenly dropping down around her ankles from under her dress in public.

No. In my experience Buffy was an exception, they pulled off the stunt and it managed to work within the context of a magical universe. Most of the time these shows end up falling flat at best, cringe at worst. Not sure why Star Trek feels like they need to attempt it.

I don't know if it was intentional as to be a call back to TOS, but I loved the absolutely senseless way nobody secures potentially dangerous actors that are in sick bay.

Mostly because of happenstance I have my home server running Arch. I actually do love Arch for desktop, but with the cutting edge rolling updates I have to keep on my toes during updates, I wish it was running Ubuntu.
