Re the writers strike, I'm glad I have a lot of shows I've never watched to binge. I'm midway through season 3 of Picard. OMG my friend it's so good, as you know. Episode 4 with the birth of those space babies at the end was so moving, and the scences about trust and needing our friends, and don't get me started on bringing back Worf and if even only for a few scenes, Rho. I think the episode was called no win scenario. I don't remember if I commented the other day when you said your hero Kirk doesn't believe in no win scenarios. If it pleases you to check it out, my Kobayashi Maru,
