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.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

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.
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 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 just finished Season 1 and will watch my first season 2 episode soon ... I'll be standing by the airlock and let you know.
Gut away. I watch it once per season, and then get on with the show. 😊
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
