Anyone else out there fighting their own hangups about grades? I have a very bright 6th grader. He was reading at 3, identified as gifted in the elementary school. In sixth grade, he maintains an A or high B average in all advanced classes. I was the kind of student who would get extreme anxiety if I earned anything other than an A. I know he’s highly capable, but I certainly don’t want to pass on my own stress but I find myself feeling a pinch of concern with the Bs. I tell myself that I gave myself extreme anxiety for no apparent reason; my grades have had no bearing on my life right now. Anyone else struggle with this?

First watch of TNG—-I started my ST viewings with Voyager then DS9 (yeah yeah I know—-I’ve never been normal). All this to say, I remember an episode where Janeway was all over Harry Kim for hooking up with some alien chick and how it went against everything he should be doing. But yet so far, Riker seems to be hooking up with whoever the heck he wants to. They were just on a female dominated planet (season 1) and he’s making out with the leader while everyone else is searching for survivors of a freighter crash. So he can and no one else can? What exactly is the protocol?

First watch of TNG—-just watched ep 8, The Battle. I’ve had fun watching the first several episodes—-wouldn’t call them great, but they’ve been a hoot. This episode though—the Ferengi messing with Picard—I thought this was the best one so far. Definitely better than the execution happy sex planet that came before. Without detailed spoilers, what are your favorite episodes of season 1.

First watch of TNG—-(started my Trek exploration with Voyager then DS9). I turned on episode 4 (The Last Outpost) and Ferengi are mentioned right off the bat. Of course I’m excited, because I want to see how they evolved from then to how they appear in Deep Space 9. And after the credits roll, I see first up—guest starring Armin Shimerman! “ITS QUARK!!!!” But not. These Ferengi weirdos seem like angry, cavemen performing modern dance—-the way they wave their arms about, grunting and twirling all around. I’ve laughed out loud more these past few episodes than I have at any episode of whatever Tim Allen show is currently running on TV. I don’t know if I’d call them GOOD episodes but I’ve been having a blast.

Hello all! Started my Star Trek journey with Voyager, followed with DS9, and now I’ve gone back and started TNG. How goofy the first two episodes were and I generally love some camp but this was something else altogether. Q shows up (who I met in Voyager) and then there’s some airborne sex disease in ep 2. I know this show is beloved but I hope it gets better. 😀

Edit: And when I saw Worf in ep 1 and knowing DS9 Worf I fully yelled at the TV “what the hell is wrong with him?”

And Miles was there—without a name!!! They just kept calling him “com”. 😂🤣😂🤣
