Factually incorrect. 26 episodes of 40 minutes each gives a total runtime of 17 hours and 20 minutes. Perfectly doable, you even have time for a quick nap and then hammer out some beers with the homies.
We just gonna forget about TAS? Season 1 is 16 episodes at 384 minutes. Season 2 is even less with 6 episodes at 144 minutes. That’s just 8 hours, 48 minutes.
Depends on the series. Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds only have like 10 each. Lower Decks is only 26 minute episodes too.
Less than that when you take into account intros and credits.
I’ll gut anyone who skips the DS9 intro like a targ.
Gut away. I watch it once per season, and then get on with the show. 😊
I’ll throw you into the monitor if you skip ‘Faith Of The Heart’
Wait, season 1&2 faith or season 3&4?
Answer honestly or we throw you out the airlock.
I just finished Season 1 and will watch my first season 2 episode soon … I’ll be standing by the airlock and let you know.
I rewatched Enterprise recently and I was shocked when Season 3 started. I felt like the Xindi had attacked me! The original theme is the only theme for me.
Season 4 Episode 18 and 19’s theme song makes up for it though.
F’n A, Cotton! F’n Aaaa!
i was going to say something to this effect.
nowadays, i just put it on as background noise when is start working and lip sync to the dialogue and imagine the scenes in my head when i’m not directly looking at the screen.
I watch 2x speed so I finish twice as fast
I feel like a terminally online goon for it, but I generally watch shows on 1.5~2x speed. Random youtube crap is even worse at 2.5 or 3x. If I really, really like a show I’ll watch at 1.2 or 1.3x.
There’s just so much content out there and I want to see so much stuff
I find that approach really diminishes some of the great scenes that rely on pauses and pace for dramatic effect. I agree that some Star Trek stuff is rather slow (and it feels even slower when you hit one of the worse episodes) but defaulting to accelerating content just doesn’t feel right.
Lots of YouTube is intentionally lengthened for view time/metrics balance to entice the algorithm. Spiffing Brit does this very well by padding his videos with nonsense for the first five or ten minutes, however much time he needs to pad the meat and potatoes, and his viewership metrics show it works. For that reason I do find myself speeding up YouTube, though having SponsorBlock on also helps a lot.
i used to do this with youtube and i switched to using ai browser plugins to summarize youtube content for me.
same. And it helps with listening to music on youtube… haha! Once I had friends coming over home and forgot to switch speed back to 1x, we had it like for an hour in 1.15 (yeah, wasn’t that bad really… that was part of the problem :P)
i feel like it’s perfectly intelligible if it’s below 1.5x speed and i stopped noticing it too. lol
