Watched an hour long documentary on Netflix about Star Trek: The Next Generation and the behind the scenes issues about getting that show through the first 3 seasons. It was written and directed and hosted by Shatner; called Chaos on the Bridge. It was fun. Cheesy as all fuck, but fun.

Then I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'm going to do a series rewatch over the next year or so. I'm on episode 5 of season 1.

Thanks for mentioning this; I just watched it and really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for ST docs - I think I've seen them all. Listening to people talk about Roddenberry's utopian vision of the future always makes me cry.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

For those who haven't watched it: I think it's one of the finest shows ever made. It's made me a more empathetic person towards transgender people, and it's done so without even an ounce of self-righteousness. Jeffrey Tambour's portrayal of Maura is heartbreaking, and his self-absorbed kids do a great job of reflecting what a good person Maura actually is. And the writing is just superb: great moments of humor break up the heaviness of it all just perfectly. It's rare that I can say "I've not seen this show before."
