I watched some more My Little Pony reruns. I'm almost at the end of S6,
so I'll finally know how it ends soon.

I tried a few episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I didn't mind
the weirder stories, but I disliked the incompatibility with TOS. In
particular, that is not the Uhura I know. I like both versions, but
they're clearly not the same character. Also, Spock's arc is proceeding
much too quickly. He's already doing things which were big steps for him
while he was serving under Kirk.

I also looked for reruns of Star Trek: The Animated Series, after being
reminded of it by M'Ress on SNW, but couldn't find anything I could
view. You'd think something that old would be on Pluto or Tubi at this
point, but nope. I guess active franchises still value their earlier
entries.

I guess it was a heavy TV day. Hey, I was tired. :)

I have the DVDs.  *smug*

The Animated Series looked lousy on NTSC and home video should clearly
be made from kinescope saved on 8 mm film.

I swear when I was a kid and the series was first broadcast, the colors
had already faded. The only thing that looked worse than Filmation was
that first season of Rocky and Bullwinkle in which they hired that
Mexican animation studio in which no one hired to do the animation had
any art experience. It's too bad because the stories were hysterical but
it's just so unwatchable.
