i'm doing a casual rewatch of TNG (skipping like 80% of season 1 lol) and man its crazy how comforting Picard's opening speech is every episode, just a description of a mundane start of the day for the mission but modern sci fi is really missing that casual, non serialized 20-25 episode a year TV show about a group of people in the future.
Lot of great new shows but almost all are 6-8 episodes a year and take 3 freaking years between seasons. Sucks that network TV is all reduced to Law & Order and CSI.
