I used Netflix to binge entire series every now and then (voyager/TNG/ds9, voyager especially c:) but since they raised prices I've been sailing the seas

Pluto TV has two channels of Trek running at a time. That's been my go-to for quick Trek fixes.
It's 5am and I usually don't get up this early but my body is just not cooperating these days and I can't sleep ... nor can I work .. nor can I really move much ... it's really frustrating because I can actually still lift about a hundred pounds and move heavy things .. but about 10 percent of my arm movements are pure agony. Sitting at my desk is the best thing right now ... and the only benefit is in being able to binge watch Star Trek.
It's allowed me to watch the first season of Discovery ... and just like the crew, my spore drive broke down ... but I haven't been able to find my way back to my universe yet.
If being sick or unwell or having a bad day has any benefit ... it's that it allows you time to go through Star Trek ... it is definitely a place of comfort.

Great show but I was bit disturbed that they introduced Stamet's partner Culber and then suddenly just killed him off ... I thought it was a great side story but to just drop it off like that was a bit stupid I thought.
Ive been sick all weekend, and had to call out today from work. I was just wondering what i was going to do today since ive exhausted my normal entertainment already this weekend. You've inspired me to start up a rewatch. Now, I just have to decide which series.
I hope you start to feel better soon! It sucks when our bodies betray us.
I haven't felt this bad in a long time ... and it was weird too because it just happened without warning. It's arthritic disease (yes I'm older, not ancient but old in my late 40s). Everything else is fine, lungs, heart, brain, muscles, gastro, blood .... it just suddenly attacked my shoulders now I can barely lift my arms ... I can rotate them about 80 percent without problems but when I touch that 20 percent, it's like someone took a baseball bat to my shoulder. It's the kind of pain that just makes you feel sick ... and it lingers and makes you miserable.
Talking about it helps and makes me forget it for a while ... which is why I should thank you for the distraction.
Find a nice comfortable chair, bed or position to be in, wear some light clothes, keep the thermostat at a nice temperature and relax. Get up and stretch once in a while and drink lots of liquids. Watch your shows with a headset and stay in your own world for a bit while you recover.
I hope you are doing better as well.
It would've been somewhat before its time, but I wonder if this episode would've been more interesting with what it was saying about human relationships if Data hadn't immediately installed "hammiest Honeymooners program" immediately upon entering one.
Now that lemmy.world won't let me post images in comments, I'm having a bad day. :(
I kinda like how the US OTA channel H&I airs an episode of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT six nights a week. 5 hours of Star Trek almost every night is pretty awesome. They just progress through each show in release order, until they finish all the seasons and loop back to start over again.
I feel this so hard. In a few hours I am going to have to pawn everything of value I own but my PC and phone. I am on season three of TNG of coping.
