  • I wouldn’t call 4K mainstream in 2014 - I feel like it was still high end.

    I didn’t have a 4K TV until early 2019 or so when unfortunately, the 1080p Samsung one got damaged during a move. Quite sad - it had very good color despite not having the newest tech, and we’d gotten it second-hand for free. Best of all, it was still a “dumb” TV.

    Of course, my definition of mainstream is warped, as we were a bit behind the times - the living room had a CRT until 2012, and I’m almost positive all of the bedroom ones were still CRTs in 2014.






















  • I think MPR goes beyond boring. I think it’s an anti-masterpiece - designed to drive any viewer insane.

    They systematically build you up with that Star Trek hope, only to knock you down and step on your head.

    The only kind of redeeming moment is that sort of “We will go on” moment with the Areore at the end. Honestly, despite being a satirical Star Trek species in an otherwise terrible episode, the Areore were kind of fun and I wouldn’t mind seeing them again.
