Star Trek
Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!
I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.
Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.
No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.
No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.
No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.
Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

I made mp3s of all seven seasons of TNG so I can listen to them like audiobooks. I listened to Skin of Evil this week and really enjoyed it.
I thought listening this way wouldn’t be very different since I’ve seen the episodes so often. But surprisingly a lot of the lines and scenes land a bit differently this way.
I did something similar to TOS, and it's surprising how well they can be understood still! Of course the looks and facial expressions are missing, but I picked up a lot more from the voices. It definitely gives a different perspective to the episode.
What a coincidence! I wasn't expecting anyone to know what I was talking about :) That's great - I must do TOS as well at some point. It's great that this has given the episodes a new lease of life.
I got the idea from something I read about a teacher in a film class or something similar that had their students listen to TOS as an exercise, and I decided to try it myself! I still prefer watching to listening, but it's been pretty nice.
I was also doing something similar during my Voyager rewatch recently. There's quite a number of episodes that are very generic, or sometimes just ones I don't like that well, so I just listened to some of them as I worked on something else in the room. In that case I didn't convert them to audio so I could still watch if I wanted.
