I wanted to time parts of each episode of TNG that takes place on the Enterprise D and get the percentage of each episode. It takes me about 7 minutes to do an episode. Is anybody interested on taking on a season and adding it below?

I count time per episode spend on the Enterprise D. This includes internal and external shots. The holodeck does not count as the Enterprise D, unless part of the ship is visible (eg, the arch or grid), or part of the ship is replicated in a way (such as Geordi with Dr. Brahms). I include the credits as Enterprise D time just because it seemed unfair to count that time as being located elsewhere. I did not count brief switches to another location as this would have taken a lot of effort while only amounting to a couple of seconds.

Note that to save time, after recording the start and end times for each episode in the season, I put it all into an LLM and asked it to calculate the totals and overall percentage for the episode. I can supply the prompt for that too.

The one I used counts the t's in colonisation just fine, and saved me doing 170 calculations.

This is a job for spreadsheets. Matt would be very disappointed in you.

Good option. Unfortunately, I started out with nano. I don't know who Matt is, but he has my sympathies.

Matt Parker, AKA StandupMaths, is a vocal proponent of using spreadsheets for non-financial operations.
