OK! 😂The BIG TV Poll You've Been Asking For So We Can Decide Once And For All What The Plan Is!
Added 2024-12-11 17:47:00 +0000 UTCIt is extremely hard for me to tell if it is a very vocal minority who want to watch DS9 or other Trek shows here (on Patreon, no guarantee they will go to YouTube) or if it is a majority of everyone on Patreon.
Please note - Watching more Trek doesn't mean we can't watch other shows as well. Just like adding Seinfeld I can add more shows in future. I enjoy reacting to tv shows, so I will 100% be watching other shows, regardless of whether we watch Trek or not.
Also note - many of you always comment 'just watch whatever you want'. I appreciate the sentiment but the point of reacting here on Patreon is to watch with other people. I am most interested in reacting to stuff that majority of people want to watch with me. I do watch what I want, I'll never make something an option if I'm not interested in watching it. And I have final say in all decisions.
Thanks for voting! I'm sure there are other options than listed here but please just pick one from the options below.

I joined your Patreon to watch Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, STD, and PIC. How about if you watch the top 15 most watched of each Trek series, like you did with TOS in the beginning?

2025-01-08 05:12:33 +0000 UTCI just joined and I'm so glad the majority want to do all Trek shows. As much as I like TNG, I really enjoy DS9 and I LOVE LOVE Voyager ( I know that it's the least favorite among the fandom, but it's my favorite and I really want Jen to watch it lol)
RuthGA
2025-01-06 23:37:57 +0000 UTCThe first TNG movie Star Trek: Generations came out after Season 3 Episode 8 of DS9. The first episode of VOY came out after Season 3 Episode 12 of DS9. I would try to figure out how long it will take before you need to worry about another airdate poll, but I guess it depends on how many Star Trek reactions you plan to air a week. 2 or 4.

2024-12-23 03:11:19 +0000 UTCI held off from watching it for the longest time, but I absolutely loved it when I finally watched. It really deals with subjects that wouldn't make sense on a starship.
Naturekitty5309
2024-12-21 14:03:06 +0000 UTCI don't recall many explicit spoilers in the TNG movies. The worst may be in Nemesis. But the rest are fairly vague and may make you wonder and ask what did you miss. And this is the bigger risk in my opinion, that people would want to explain those in the comments, giving out or hinting at huge spoilers.
Gábor Árki
2024-12-17 08:31:54 +0000 UTCYup. I completely agree with you. Voyager is my favorite Star Trek series, but it does not need to be watched by airdate in tandem with DS9.
Amarant Coral
2024-12-16 22:43:21 +0000 UTCDS9 is so good because it's so different compared to TNG, VOY and ENT. Also, the character development in DS9 is better than all of ST series put together.
Ootlander
2024-12-16 18:10:40 +0000 UTCDS9 is superior to TNG for it's originality within the Trek Universe. Yes, it is modelled after Babylon 5, that when you compare b5 to it, that is the superior series, but in terms of sequel series trek, DS9 is the BEST series.
The Uber Geek
2024-12-15 16:29:49 +0000 UTCI really like DS9, so any option that includes you watching it I'm happy with
Emiliano Garcia
2024-12-15 16:16:40 +0000 UTCI agree on not being interested in those, but I have no doubt they will be watched because every reactor under the sun does them. I just don't watch the reactions. As a Trekkie, I know there are people who skip the Trek reactions.

2024-12-15 01:39:37 +0000 UTCI actually like Voy a lot for some reason.
Jack Mingle
2024-12-14 16:03:03 +0000 UTCWhile they are mostly separate shows there are spoilers between VOY, ENT and the TNG movies. So the watch order does matter to some degree if spoilers are an issue.
The Untempered Cynic
2024-12-14 11:25:49 +0000 UTCI voted TNG + DS9 by air date, but I only have one option to choose and feel my answer is more complex and requires some elaboration. I would like a DS9 reaction to happen, and in case of this series it kind of makes sense to watch by release date because there are some crossovers between the two. But I would be happy with continuing with DS9 only after TNG, and even putting some pause on the franchise before continuing. I would be interested in and would join in watching along some other series too. Although I personally only have a handful of shows I like that much to give it either a rewatch or a reaction watch along: TNG/DS9/VOY, Babylon 5, Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Chuck, The Expanse, and maybe ENT and Battlestar Galactica 2003. Although I have not voted for it, I would be joining in a watch along for Voyager and Enterprise too. But unlike DS9, these are their own thing and following the release order would probably have little or no benefit.
Gábor Árki
2024-12-14 09:27:06 +0000 UTCAs far as Star Trek is concerned, I’ll watch with you TNG, most of the movies and The Orville. Any of the others I’m not going to bother
Jamie Burns
2024-12-14 01:29:06 +0000 UTCI just thought to come back here to see how it's going and my eyes popped out of my head at the number of comments! 🤣 Since some people weighed in on their favorite sci-fi series outside of Trek on this post, I hope it's ok for me to give a list of faves: - Babylon 5 (5 seasons) - Farscape (4 seasons and a two-part movie) - X-Files (11 seasons) - Fringe (5 seasons) - Stranger Things (4 seasons (fifth coming soon)) - Doctor Who (this one would probably be impossible unless a reactor chose which era and incarnation(s) of The Doctor. One reactor I follow started with the 2009 "Nu-Who" beginnings)
Over50Gamer
2024-12-14 00:38:43 +0000 UTCI personally really enjoy Enterprise. I've actually enjoyed it more on multiple watches than I did the first time I watched it, especially the last 2 seasons

Jason Scade
2024-12-13 18:35:24 +0000 UTCI had no idea if there would be enough interest to warrant an entire watch through of TOS. I have said before I may go back and watch more, but at the moment there are too many channels watching it
Jen M
2024-12-13 18:27:18 +0000 UTCSeinfeld is awesome
Clay F
2024-12-13 15:14:14 +0000 UTCOK fine. Others, like me, enjoy her wider output more generally too, not just Star Trek

2024-12-13 13:42:23 +0000 UTCPersonally I like the steady output. It's a major factor in what drew me to Jen's channel.

Opti_Frog
2024-12-13 08:55:20 +0000 UTCPersonally I like a bit of Star Trek, but find 2 episodes each-week-every-week a bit relentless, and would favour taking natural breaks, watching a different show, and picking Trek up again later Also I'm a bit miffed that modern Treks are shaping up to get full watch throughs when 1960s TOS - which is peak Trek imo - got selected episodes
Neighbourhood Watch Alliance

2024-12-13 03:55:47 +0000 UTCWhichever Trek it is, it's 2 episodes per week
Jen M
2024-12-13 01:44:52 +0000 UTCI assume she’ll keep it to two episodes a week, so it’ll become one TNG and one DS9 episode paired up in air date order.
timdoesphoto
2024-12-12 23:58:25 +0000 UTCI am not here for Trek. I do love TOS and there are many episodes I would watch reactions but only a handful for TNG and maybe the tribble one on DS9. Right now I am enjoying the Seinfeld reactions most of all.
thansen
2024-12-12 23:34:20 +0000 UTCI like Janeway.

2024-12-12 22:33:08 +0000 UTCBand of Brothers is my all time favourite series
Brett Whittaker
2024-12-12 22:29:02 +0000 UTCSuccession! You would love the music in it for sure! Only 39 episodes so you could get through it pretty quick.
UNC
2024-12-12 22:00:52 +0000 UTCI'm okay with whatever Trek series you'd like to watch after or during TNG just PLEASE don't double-up on Trek series watching. I'd rather watch other series or movies alongside Trek. I don't typically watch the TNG or SEIN reactions, but I've seen a few. I'd much rather see reactions to some of the great series from the request site.
Major Peril
2024-12-12 20:51:04 +0000 UTCRatings do mean something. Informative. Band of Brothers did well in the poll at 57%-43%. Won by 14%. A Yes/No poll pits the entry against everything else collectively. Voters think about what else they would prefer to watch. It's not a vote on whether BoB is an excellent series but a vote on whether they would rather watch a reaction to something else. For BoB to reach 57% is quite striking imo. How do you think Band of Brothers would fare one-on-one against ENT in a poll on the channel? Or one-on-one against VOY (which I like). Moreover, a nice aspect of Band of Brothers is less of a commitment at only 10 episodes.
Clay F
2024-12-12 19:53:39 +0000 UTCBand of Brothers was polled recently and it was pretty much 50/50, so ratings mean nothing.
Mark McKeown
2024-12-12 19:47:27 +0000 UTCI would much rather watch a reaction to any of those than a reaction to ENT. My guess is several of those (e.g., Sopranos, The Wire, Band of Brothers, or The Expanse) could beat ENT one-on-one in a poll on the channel. Give the people (patrons) what they want.
Clay F
2024-12-12 19:44:09 +0000 UTCAll of those shows have something in common. I'm not the least bit interested in seeing reactions of them, no matter how high they scored on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes. Sorry.
The Untempered Cynic
2024-12-12 19:35:57 +0000 UTCI am excited that Jen may continue Trek after TNG. How do you think one or more of these below would fare one-on-one against ENT in a poll on the channel? *THE SOPRANOS (6 seasons). IMDb 9.2, RT 92% (Audience 96%), Metacritic 94% (user 9.3) *BAND OF BROTHERS (10 episodes). IMDb 9.4 *THE EXPANSE (2015) (6 seasons) (RT 95%, IMDb 8.5) *BREAKING BAD MAD MEN (2007) (7 seasons).

Clay F
2024-12-12 19:27:32 +0000 UTCI think Jen would like VOY. Captain Kathryn Janeway. Skip ENT.
Clay F
2024-12-12 19:17:54 +0000 UTCFirst Contact's spoiler won't kill, reveal anything pertinent regarding the overall story arc, it's a just cool and massive thing that happens. It would give her something to look forward to, maybe? I don't know how she'd feel about having to put First Contact (and others) on hold for two years while she catches up to the right spot. I'm not sure about Insurrection or Nemesis tho.
Kristin D
2024-12-12 19:15:41 +0000 UTCSG-1 is such a fun show, and I would love for Jen to watch it. I also think it might appeal to some of her watchers who aren't into Trek, but like sci-fi to some degree/space fantasy. It's upbeat, more of a space fantasy, great characters and story arcs, extensive universe, not too much technobabble, 10 seasons + 2 movies, and one of my favorite shows to rewatch. I vote YES!
Kristin D
2024-12-12 19:10:37 +0000 UTCAgree, I think just fine to complete TNG before watching DS9
Clay F
2024-12-12 19:09:53 +0000 UTCAirdate order is absolutely the ideal way to watch, especially if the movies are included. Glad to see it leading the poll and from my point of view, the more Trek the better.

Jason Scade
2024-12-12 17:02:44 +0000 UTCI think the "watching consecutively by airdate" thing can become an overwhelming headache, bouncing around between shows. I voted for finishing TNG show and movies and then moving to DS9. To me, the minute bit of crossover isn't worth the hassle of bouncing back and forth. Plus, you'd be bouncing between one show that was well established and another that was finding its feet. The shows were designed to stand on their own for the most part, with some references to others. - - Slightly unrelated: If I'm not mistaken, you haven't seen Star Trek: The Animated Series, aka TOS season 4. I was surprised not to even see it on your Patreon Movie Requests list. Just something to check out at some point if you haven't. 22 episodes, each shorter than a half hour. Voiced by the original cast.
Zapp Rowsdower
2024-12-12 16:31:12 +0000 UTCWhile I’d certainly not say no to watching all of Trek, I can imagine it being quite daunting. I’m sure someone has already mentioned it, but Stargate SG-1 is an exceptional show. There’s a few clangers in Season 1, but there’s also far more great stuff. And it just gets better as it goes along! For a very different tone, Doctor Who is also excellent. Jump in with Rose from 2005, (even I wouldn’t suggest starting back in 1963!) EDIT: all of these are massive commitments, of course! No pressure… 😐
Gareth Turner
2024-12-12 15:14:11 +0000 UTC❤️ Jen’s thoughtfulness about us, but also agree with many others here it’s her channel, and we are along for the ride. A great many shows here outside ST universe, so can’t complain if she stays within or peruses outside.
Nate Gavin
2024-12-12 11:30:11 +0000 UTCI agree don't need to react to VOY based on air date with DS9, but do react to VOY after completing reacting to DS9. VOY is a good series and Jen would like it. Skip ENT. The genius Ronald D. Moore is also the executive producer of (and driving force behind) the awesome "Outlander" series (2014-present). "The Expanse" (6 seasons) (2015-2022) is an excellent newer sci-fi series.
Clay F
2024-12-12 11:25:41 +0000 UTCI loved "The West Wing". Watched it as it aired.

2024-12-12 11:14:11 +0000 UTCThe Sopranos is awesome. Groundbreaking. A stellar series.
Clay F
2024-12-12 11:13:43 +0000 UTCActually a bit surprised by how many think it's worth Jen's time to watch VOY and ENT. On the other hand, i will never say no to more Trek reactions. 😄 The votes speak for themselves, but i don't see any reason to watch VOY consecutively with anything else. I voted DS9 after TNG.

2024-12-12 07:46:32 +0000 UTCJen, it would be really cool to watch some more TOS episodes from time to time as you finish TNG and continue through DS9. There’s still a bunch of TOS left unwatched that you’re sure to enjoy. It’ll be like visiting old friends.
Thegonagle
2024-12-12 06:53:08 +0000 UTC"Star Trek First Contact" is around the middle of S5 of DS9. "Star Trek Insurrection" is right after S6 of DS9. "Star Trek Nemesis" is after the end of Voyager. All three of these movies do contain fairly significant spoilers for DS9 and/or Voyager if they are watched ahead of the series.
Tom Evans
2024-12-12 06:06:11 +0000 UTCCheers was a pretty good show.
Thegonagle
2024-12-12 05:46:01 +0000 UTCI only just watched that for the first time a month or 2 ago 🤯
Brett Whittaker
2024-12-12 05:31:57 +0000 UTCI do have to bring up the point on the movies. While it’s not super critical. Generations can be watched directly after TNG finishes. First Contact occurs toward the end of DS9, Insurrection is what ? DURING Voyager?? And Nemesis AFTER Voyager finishes?
Brett Whittaker
2024-12-12 05:30:45 +0000 UTCDS9 concurrent with the end of TNG is the only one I really care about, partly because I love DS9 but also because they do sometimes reference each other and play in each other's spaces. Voyager it really doesn't matter, it can be watched whenever, and Enterprise didn't air concurrently with any other Trek, so the same applies there.
Paul Peavler
2024-12-12 04:49:03 +0000 UTCVoyager isn't separate from TNG and DS9—they're all set in the same era, and both DS9 and Voyager are spin-offs of TNG. Enterprise, on the other hand, is a prequel to TOS. Every Trek series and film ties together—it's been that way since the very beginning, starting with the first Trek film, which followed up TOS. Gene Roddenberry himself made it clear that while books and games aren't considered canon, the shows and movies absolutely are.
The Star Treker (aka Michael)
2024-12-12 02:40:34 +0000 UTCIt isn't but one of the leads was definitely in one of the best TV shows ever.. If you know you know.
Martin Nicholls
2024-12-12 02:27:00 +0000 UTCThe Kelvin timeline movie reactions are already on the channel
Jeremy
2024-12-12 02:12:55 +0000 UTCI'm in for the whole ride! I'm just happy to see you continue beyond TNG, which ever way you do it.
Tom Evans
2024-12-12 01:41:07 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to which Star Trek to watch next, I vote for The Sopranos 😂
David Murray
2024-12-12 01:38:48 +0000 UTCI voted for one of the "by airdate" options, but I don't mean it in a super-strict way. There isn't enough overlap between those series to merit extreme precision.
Matthew Brench
2024-12-12 01:08:33 +0000 UTCI picked the TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT consecutively by airdate option. I put my personal bias aside because I think it's the most appropriate to watch them in that order... Plus I have a feeling you will like DS9. I say this as a massive VOY fan. I would love for you to be able to one day make it to Voyager and Enterprise because they are my absolute favorite Star Treks. In order of which ones I like the most to which ones I like the least, it is (1)VOY (2)ENT (3)TNG (4)DS9 (5)TOS
Amarant Coral
2024-12-12 01:02:46 +0000 UTCI would love her to watch Miami Vice as the next non Trek show.

SnakeandNape
2024-12-12 00:13:30 +0000 UTCI chose just DS9 after TNG, whether they are consecutive with TNG or not, for a few reasons. DS9 has ties to Next Generation, and is a must see watch. It's not a sequel, but there are storylines that were introduced in TNG that are the main focus in DS9, plus there is so much goodness that I think you'd like. Voyager, while airing at the same time, has no overlap with DS9, and I think you'd enjoy both shows more if they weren't being watched in tandem, just due to time constraints. They do not need to be watched the same time, despite them being aired at the same time. My suggestion is to watch DS9 as the next Trek show after TNG. After you are done with that, maybe go back and watch some of the better episodes of TOS. I just don't think any of the other shows, new or older, can beat the trifecta of TOS, TNG and DS9. If you want to take a break yourself, from Trek, but want to watch some sci-fi, I'd go with Battlestar Galactica or Babylon 5, or Stargate SG-1 which is phenomenal, fun and has 10 seasons (and is probably even liked by non-trek fans). I say all these 3 are a worthy watch before Voyager (but not before DS9). NOTE: Battlestar Galactica was created by Ron D. Moore who had a hand in writing some of the best TNG episodes and was a main produce of DS9.
Kristin D
2024-12-12 00:13:04 +0000 UTCeven though i agree DS9 and TNG are the best written ones overall, voyager is my fav!

2024-12-12 00:01:33 +0000 UTCI would LOVE for Jen to watch Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica. But I'd even be willing to put DS9 on hold for one of these two shows.
Kristin D
2024-12-12 00:00:33 +0000 UTCAgreed, DS9 should definitely be watched before taking on VOY or ENT.
Kristin D
2024-12-11 23:59:13 +0000 UTCRed Dwarf would be awesome (post TNG). After how gleaming the Enterprise is and how amazing the crew are.. the slobs and neurotics on this manky ship will be a shock to Jen's system. :P It is very funny though. The crew are useless, it may as well be The IT Crowd in space. 😂 I visited 'The Village' from The Prisoner series - it's in Wales. It was very picturesque, hadn't changed much from the series and I managed to get out. No sign of Rover. 👍
Jason Scade
2024-12-11 23:55:57 +0000 UTCI didn't vote the TNG only because I'd love to see you do the newer Trek movies.
Mike Brodeur
2024-12-11 23:44:24 +0000 UTCYou'll like them all if you're really into Trek but imo TOS, TNG & DS9 are on a whole other tier of quality than VOY & ENT.
Camron
2024-12-11 23:36:58 +0000 UTCI'd love to see DS9, VOY, and ENT, as I think you'll enjoy them all and I'm very interested to watch along, but I don't care whether it's concurrent or not. I honestly don't think it matters at all for story flow and understanding, they were designed to be perfectly watchable in isolation, even missing episodes, due to the nature of broadcast TV! The only reason to do them concurrently is if you yourself want the variety - a new cast, in a quite different setting - and I'd totally respect that if you did.
George Foot
2024-12-11 23:15:20 +0000 UTCMe neither - these shows were deliberately designed (and forced) to be episodic because they were broadcast TV and people inevitably missed episodes. It really doesn't matter much until the later DS9 seasons where they started doing longer-term story arcs. (I know that's an unpopular opinion around here!)
George Foot
2024-12-11 23:08:53 +0000 UTCYes I liked Voyager, and felt it was unfairly maligned when it came out. The episodic format did become long-in-the-tooth though, with a lot of repeated ideas from eariler series that weren't obvious to me at the time because I hadn't seen the other series!
George Foot
2024-12-11 23:05:48 +0000 UTCYou could watch Enterprise after finishing TNG, DS9, and Voyager, like Jeremy mentioned—it's the first prequel to TOS. Oh, and I just realized you've already done the three Kelvin Timeline movies (Star Trek, Into Darkness, and Beyond). Lol. They actually have a few references to Enterprise that you might've missed, so it could be fun to rewatch them after Enterprise without spoiling anything. Those movies came out about three years after Enterprise ended.
The Star Treker (aka Michael)
2024-12-11 23:05:00 +0000 UTCYup The Expanse + Severance + Silo best non trek shows
RSK1995
2024-12-11 23:01:52 +0000 UTCI like "The Expanse" (6 seasons) (2015-2022) -- an excellent sci-fi series.
Clay F
2024-12-11 22:56:21 +0000 UTCSNW gets rave reviews. Maybe the best of the newer Star Trek. I did like Picard S1 and S3. IMDb average ratings of Trek series given by users: --Picard S3 (2023) 8.8 --TNG (1987–1994) 8.7 --TOS (1966–1969) 8.4 --SNW (2022-present) 8.3 --DS9 (1993–1999) 8.1 --Voyager (1995–2001) 7.9 --Picard S1 (2020) 7.6 --Enterprise (2001-2005) 7.6 --Discovery (2017-2024) 7.0 --Picard S2 (2022) 6.6 My personal ranking: 1. TNG 2. TOS 3. DS9 (can be argued is the best) 4. Voyager

2024-12-11 22:49:26 +0000 UTCWatch it all! Yeah!
Jerrod Acree
2024-12-11 22:46:22 +0000 UTCI'm here for whatever you watch. You might also consider Strange New Worlds as some point. It's really well done. It's essentially the Original Series with Capt. Pike if it were made today.

2024-12-11 22:40:16 +0000 UTCMichael, good points about Enterprise.
Clay F
2024-12-11 22:38:31 +0000 UTCOther series to consider (In addition to or after, not instead of Trek): Farscape, Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1, Red Dwarf, and The Prisoner (advantage here is it's just 17 episodes and unlike other short TV series, it actually had more episodes (filler types) than originally planned, instead of being cut short). Edit: I went with all 4 by airdate because my main concern was DS9 by airdate and after that, whatever (I'll watch the other shows, too). Also, I added Red Dwarf to my list above because I forgot about that as another good choice. There was a story about how Patrick Stewart once saw an episode of Red Dwarf and contacted someone at Trek to tell them that Red Dwarf had ripped off one of TNG's storylines, The response was "Uh, actually we took it off them." Yeah, Star Trek TNG actually stole a plot from Red Dwarf! LOL!
Chris Biebel
2024-12-11 22:33:00 +0000 UTCI voted for the option with TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise. I have to disagree—I think Enterprise is actually really good. Sure, some didn't love it right away, but it's definitely grown on people over time. Personally, I loved it from the start, and I have a feeling Jen would too—especially Trip Tucker (my favorite). I bet she'd fall for him like she did with Riker. Lol. As for non-Trek shows, I'd love to see her do classics like Family Matters, Boy Meets World, and Step by Step. Some of the best 90s sitcoms in my book!

Jason Scade
2024-12-11 22:29:29 +0000 UTCI think Star Trek Voyager is much better then DS9 I think Jen should watch that one. Along with TNG and movies.
Edward korstanje
2024-12-11 22:22:48 +0000 UTCWhatever you do please continue with the older cult-favorite shows. I can't bear to watch more Disney+ Marvel/Star Wars or any flavor-of-the-week mediocrities.

2024-12-11 22:22:00 +0000 UTCWatching The Stargate franchise, Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5 after TNG, DS9, Voy and ENT would be awesome
Hok'Tar
2024-12-11 22:12:11 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind her doing Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis after Trek. I love Stargate too especially when it's SG-1! At least Stargate is a smaller franchise to follow. Lol

Christian Levesque
2024-12-11 21:58:47 +0000 UTCI totally agree, Jen—you don't have to make everything about Trek. While Trek is my absolute favorite, I love seeing your reactions to all kinds of things, too. Superman and the DC universe are awesome, and I'd be thrilled to see you explore more of that or even Marvel. There are so many great movies and shows out there, and I love that you do both!
The Star Treker (aka Michael)
2024-12-11 21:58:44 +0000 UTCAwesome call. I've been banging on about The Inbetweeners a bit. It's 'IT Crowd' funny.
Jason Scade
2024-12-11 21:57:03 +0000 UTCI chose tng / ds9 / voy / ent option. Don't realy care about the trek movies tho. I do like other shows / movies, really enjoyed LOTR trilogy full reaction, gave me a reason to rewatch them :) However when I subscribed it was for the Trek full reactions. Here are some other show I feel are really good and would be worthy of reactions: Suits / White Collar / Burn Notice / Covert Affairs. Also once you are all done with Trek (Discovery is meh but Strange New World is quite good) you HAVE to watch Lower Decks!
Christian Levesque

Matt Adams
2024-12-11 21:37:45 +0000 UTCI'd be thrilled if you watched all of Star Trek, but no pressure—it's totally cool if you need to take breaks between shows to explore other movies and series—there's so much out there! Massive universes like Marvel, DC, or Star Wars are calling too. Lol. Once you finish TNG, there's still so much Trek goodness ahead: the TNG and Kelvin Timeline movies, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds. Who knows? You might even catch up in time for the Section 31 streaming movie and Starfleet Academy series coming soon. Don't let the haters get to you—there's always a loud minority who don't like new Trek, but so many of us love it all! I know this is your Patreon page and YouTube channel. It’s all about what feels fun for you, not just what we want to see. 😊🖖❤️

2024-12-11 21:33:50 +0000 UTCI've been itching to watch Deadwood again. I could get down with that.

Jeremy Vickers
2024-12-11 21:25:39 +0000 UTCYes Deadwood +1 everything but band of Brothers is gonna take some time. I was thinking in the Inbetweeners shorter series. She can complete them. It fills out her archive and there’s a lot of really solid shows that are just one season long.
Jeremy Vickers
2024-12-11 21:24:04 +0000 UTCWe doing Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis after trek?
Brett Whittaker
2024-12-11 21:16:21 +0000 UTCAnd I appreciate that, especially when so many other channels have switched almost exclusively to TV show reactions. By the way, I wonder (academically) how much of a selection bias there is here. As in: you've been doing Trek reactions, thus attracting Trek fans who want even more Trek, and possibly losing disgruntled non-fans. If instead of Trek, you had chosen Breaking Bad, perhaps today's poll would favour Better Call Saul instead of a Trek show. Anyhow, I suppose this is academic, given your enjoyment of Trek and the (currently) 62% voting to continue.
Happy Hanukkah
2024-12-11 21:12:37 +0000 UTCEnterprise was my favorite, and I loved Voyager as well.
Vwlss Nvwls
2024-12-11 21:09:51 +0000 UTCI feel like watching TNG and DS9 at the same time is a mostly positive experience due to the handful of cross-overs, overlapping storylines, etc. On the other hand I think watching DS9 and Voyager at the same time not only doesn't enhance either one, but can actually be a bit of a detriment in split focus and burnout. Also from a channel standpoint, I wonder if it would be better to finish DS9 and then decide if you want to continue with Voyager and then later Enterprise. If you jump into DS9 and add Voyager when they started overlapping in DS9 season 3 there could be some major burnout by the time you finish them as it would take 2 years from that point to finish DS9 and 3 years for Voyager. Regardless, I'm here for Trek and wouldn't mind if you even found the time to squeeze in some more TOS episodes!

2024-12-11 21:01:20 +0000 UTC"Jen is a fine reactor and worth Patreoning for." I agree with both parts.

2024-12-11 20:58:12 +0000 UTCHBO's 'Barry' (2018 - 2023) is essential viewing. A hitman wants out of 'the life'... to pursue acting aspirations. It has a hugely approving fanbase by most who have seen it. Only 4 seasons, a relatively short show. Crime / drama / *black* comedy. It's quite violent also tense, exciting, hilarious and touching. 98% critic's score on R.T. From Wiki ; 'Barry' received critical acclaim, with most praise going to its directing, writing, originality, humor, characters, and performances (particularly those of Bill Hader and Henry Winkler) as well as its examination of its subject matter.
Jason Scade
2024-12-11 20:55:54 +0000 UTCLong live the Trek. Long May it run. TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT with recommended orders. And then onwards…
Matthew Periolat
2024-12-11 20:52:44 +0000 UTCI voted for TNG, DS9, Voyager and then Enterprise by airdate. My advice is to not think of them as different shows, just think of all of them as Star Trek.
Paul
2024-12-11 20:42:52 +0000 UTCI'm really not that fussed about whether it's DS9 after or DS9 concurrent but looking at the results we might just be doing the whole shebang I see. I can fuck with that for sure👍
Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

Jen M
2024-12-11 19:52:52 +0000 UTC+1 for all of those non-Treks. Game of Thrones. HBO's Deadwood. The Office (UK version).
Jason Scade
2024-12-11 19:51:44 +0000 UTCI voted for the option with DS9 and Voyager. No Enterprise, which is just not as good. Also non-Trek series, such as Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Band of Brothers, The Expanse, etc.
Clay F
2024-12-11 19:43:18 +0000 UTCWatch it all by air date. Watching it any other way makes absolutely no sense at all.
Michael Aalgaard
2024-12-11 19:39:03 +0000 UTCI'd vote to just jump straight into Picard
TGrimace
2024-12-11 19:38:22 +0000 UTCJen, thank you for putting up with I’m sure a lot of different people with so many differing opinions. We can tell you what we think but only you can decide what you will end up doing because this has to be fun for you. I voted for airdate because I think it is the way to go for the true experience, and I think you would get a lot out of Voyager and Enterprise. Just to clarify because a couple of the options were similar in case you were asking whether to skip Enterprise or not. TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise ran back to back to back. One replaced the other and replaced the other. DS9 was separate and overlapped TNG and Voyager. Voyager and Enterprise never overlapped, and Enterprise was on alone.
Ryan Fisher
2024-12-11 19:37:03 +0000 UTCI really want you to check out Voyager, but also I'm torn because there's so many great sci-fi shows like BSG or The Expanse.
Ronny Boss
2024-12-11 19:36:32 +0000 UTCI agree with watching DS9 concurrently with TNG, and then Voyager. The burnout happened for me when I did that originally from the fear of missing out. I gave up on trying to keep up and just focused on one show. But since you don't have the issue of trying to catch each show on a given night or missing an episode because of life, I think you will be fine just plugging away. The payoffs of each show are well worth the time even with some of the lows.
Christian Rennie
2024-12-11 19:36:11 +0000 UTCThere's continuity between those series and the movies.

2024-12-11 19:19:36 +0000 UTCTNG has just seemed endless to me. I'm here for the movies but if star trek is important to the health of the channel then I'll just grumble to myself.
Batguano
2024-12-11 19:15:46 +0000 UTCLet me add that it's a cardinal sin that no one is talking the animated Trek Lower Decks series. It's a seriously funny way to blow off some Trek burnout.
Mike Fox
2024-12-11 19:15:38 +0000 UTCDitto that. 2010 was my patreon turn moment.
Mike Fox
2024-12-11 19:13:30 +0000 UTCThere is a kind of burnout on too much Trek all the time. But if you take it in measured doses it's a little like an old friend you can always come back to.
Mike Fox
2024-12-11 19:10:10 +0000 UTCIf you think back, there are certain things in TNG that won't make sense if they aren't watched by air date. There are a lot of shared storylines between the shows/movies.
Zorak
2024-12-11 19:07:06 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind taking a break between TNG and DS9 for a series with fewer episodes.
Joe Blankenship
2024-12-11 19:06:29 +0000 UTCI voted DS9 after TNG but I also would love for you to watch other TV shows, namely The Wire. I also would really like Enterprise but a pass on Voyager. And going by air date doesn't really matter with DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. The latter doesn't cross over with the first two and the Voyager doesn't cross with DS9 outside of the backdoor pilot so not really important IMO. I could be missing something there and more hardcore fans will correct me.
fallingupdownthere
2024-12-11 19:05:15 +0000 UTCIt is a good idea to watch them by Air Date because there is some crossover between the shows and movies. This applies to DS9 and TNG. Some things in TNG won't make sense if you aren't watching DS9 alongside it.
Zorak
2024-12-11 19:04:07 +0000 UTCJust a suggestion: With the number of choices, if the final vote is very close, you may want to consider a Final-4 poll to consolidate some of the viewers who like several options.

My favorite show besides TNG is Voyager and I definitely liked Enterprise. It's highly underrated in my opinion. That you are even considering these shows makes me very happy. So, I voted for all the shows.

2024-12-11 18:40:10 +0000 UTCThe phrase "Never ask a question if you're not prepared for the answer" comes to mind! I personally voted for DS9 after TNG, but it looks like EVERYTHING by air date is where this is heading, and it will definitely be a wild fun ride.
Paul Hess
2024-12-11 18:35:05 +0000 UTCairdate makes sense because things do change around a bit and they have overlapping main plots. I love all your reactions but I have really enjoyed your Trek reactions. No clue how to handle concurrent shows. You do enough movies and other shows that even the non trek people should be able to get enough content to continue supporting you. I have no interest in Seinfeld but that hasn't chased me away. Not that there is anything wrong with Seinfeld... I just watched it a zillion times when it first aired and repeats.
TigerMyth
2024-12-11 18:32:39 +0000 UTCThere's a lot of options, which I appreciate. Really covered the bases! But watching them one after the other works. Sure, you could do a hatchet viewing where you alternate, but it would be confusing. You just have to remember that when going to the next series you're jumping back in time a little (or a lot, in the case of Enterprise) and it all makes perfect sense.
Laura Thornley
2024-12-11 18:32:30 +0000 UTCAnd beyond...lots more shows than those listed, but I know those will keep you busy for a couple years.
Eric Wilson
2024-12-11 18:31:58 +0000 UTCOf all the reactors you are one of my favorites. I'll be here no matter what you decide to do. But as you can tell from my handle I do like Star Trek a lot. It is very enjoyable to experience the episodes again for the first time with you (and read the comments from the other Patrons). (I've seen them all many, many times.) So I hope you'll watch them all.
Stevtrek
2024-12-11 18:29:53 +0000 UTCYeah, I read it, even understood it. Tbh, it's getting kinda stagnant. I get it, you are a fan, that's fine, no problem with that. BUT, not all of us paying patrons are. I'm not. I don't care who's the best captain, Kirk, Picard or Janeway. I used to love your stuff, but for a while now, meh.

scott osborne
2024-12-11 18:27:21 +0000 UTCIt's going to be a bit of a challenge jumping back and forth from one series to another, but it's worth it. Don't forget to shoe-horn the TNG movies in between episodes of DS9. The movies Generations, First Contact, and Insurrection take place during DS9's run and Nemesis takes place after Voyager. I am really looking forward to it!

2024-12-11 18:24:04 +0000 UTCI am thrilled that you are even considering doing them all (DS9 + VOY + ENT), thank you so much! And even more thrilled that it seems to have a plurality of votes. I for one will be sticking around for every single one of those episodes, in fact I should probably upgrade to the yearly subscription...
Alexis
2024-12-11 18:23:47 +0000 UTCHehe, I was only suggesting that it was slightly overcomplicated compared to how it really needed to be. The immediate issue being DS9. NGL though I don't mind where it's going at all :)
Martin Nicholls
2024-12-11 18:23:42 +0000 UTCActually love reading through all the comments and learning new things I didn't know there are people that didn't like Enterprise I loved Enterprise and loved Voyager could not stand and still can't stand DS9 and never knew anybody who did like it until I started reading these comments and found out it gets better as it moves along I only gave it the first two seasons and maybe caught a show here and there after that but never found anything appealing about it or I guess I have to cut it some slack there was probably things that were good about it I just loved original track and that theme... I'm going to find it hard to wait through seven seasons of that though to get to Voyager or Enterprise that would drive me bonkers
Dave K
2024-12-11 18:23:17 +0000 UTCGIVE US ALL THE TREK!! 😁 I've really enjoyed your TOS and TNG reactions. I'd love to see you react to the other TNG era shows (DS9, Voyager) and Enterprise.
Bret K
2024-12-11 18:22:50 +0000 UTCProbably could hold off on voy and Enterprise if you want but I voted for you to watch all of them because, hell yeah!!!!

2024-12-11 18:20:44 +0000 UTCNice of you to give us so many choices. I do not care that much about airdates, but "I want to watch TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT consecutively BY AIRDATE" had the most Star Trek series so I went for that choice :D
karl øvre
2024-12-11 18:20:07 +0000 UTCI voted for TNG + DS9, by air date. Naturally I’d be down to watch the others too, but I don’t think you need to commit this far out. Looking forward to DS9 soon! 🙂
Thegonagle

Jen M
2024-12-11 18:19:14 +0000 UTCYes all by air date the way I watched all Star Trek including the original series when I was 8 years old. I would also love you taking the natural progression to the new shows like Discovery, Picard and Strange New Worlds when the time comes.
ArtemusPrime137
2024-12-11 18:19:03 +0000 UTCAnd yeah, she can always pepper in other series. Some short ones would be great one season completed stories. Like Band of Brothers or Moon Knight. Both are glorious! There’s a bunch of shorter shows like Chernobyl was out there. It would take nothing to finish them up and have them complete in the archive. Anyway, that’s my two cents. I hope everybody’s having a happy holiday which ever holiday you wish to celebrate. 🥸
Jeremy Vickers
2024-12-11 18:18:15 +0000 UTCIf you do eventually watch Enterprise, it will be the first time I've made it through the whole series. Tried multiple times and just can't do it. But your covering it would make a huge difference. (Please note, I am not lobbying for Enterprise. Just giving my perspective. If you opted not to watch, I'd be very much okay with that.)

2024-12-11 18:17:28 +0000 UTCI was taking a college screenwriting class at the time, and the final was to write a spec script of a current TV show. I wrote about a guy who'd been a lover of one of Dax's past hosts... so yeah, I feel ya.
Logan Bruin
2024-12-11 18:17:27 +0000 UTC"I'm not here for Trek at all" and "I'm interested in NON-Trek TV shows" feels like the same question asked two different ways. If they both apply, what do I vote for?

2024-12-11 18:15:58 +0000 UTCYou watching Star Trek TNG is what brought me to your channel. I never expected any Star Trek beyond TNG and the movies. However, I would be so happy if you become an all in Trekie! Let's take a full trip through the Star Trek universe. Engage!!
Fanchman
2024-12-11 18:15:55 +0000 UTCAlthough as you've experienced with TNG (IMHO), sometimes the first couple of seasons are like an initiation test and if you persevere through it you get to the good stuff. It's a hard balance to strike.
Paul Hess
2024-12-11 18:14:32 +0000 UTCI think they mean that if they vote for watching TNG-DS9-VOY by airdate but it loses, will that count as a vote for TNG-DS9 by airdate if it's close between that and TNG-DS9 consecutively, for example.
Paul Peavler
2024-12-11 18:13:41 +0000 UTCWatching them all by air date is how we experienced it. So I see no reason why Jen shouldn’t either. DS9 is absolutely amazing. I absolutely love enterprise. And Voyager, let’s go! I guess you know what I voted for! Ha!🖖🥸

2024-12-11 18:11:47 +0000 UTCLOL I always screw up every poll
Jen M
2024-12-11 18:11:10 +0000 UTCI think the split between watching DS9 and TNG concurrently vs consecutively is actually the biggest debate right now, which is why they're two different options. I get what you mean by the limited overlap, but there is *some* overlap that might get spoiled if watched consecutively, and also at two episodes per week, it will be another 21 weeks (roughly 5 months) before TNG is wrapped up and people are impatient. But really the bigger problem is going to be the movies. They make a few more overt references to DS9 and I assume Jen isn't going to wait to watch them in realtime considering Insurrection came out in the final season of DS9 and Nemesis came out years after it ended, so some stuff is going to get kind of confusing for a while. Not enough to be a big problem, but honestly it'll be more apparent than if she just didn't watch DS9 at all.

2024-12-11 18:10:23 +0000 UTCThe non-Trek TV shows is for people interested only in tv besides Trek
Jen M
2024-12-11 18:10:22 +0000 UTCDS9 will be an interesting watch for me with Jen perspective, should it happen. I was so inspired by the pilot ("Emissary", which Jen will watch, per previous poll) that I wrote a DS9 spec script at the time and submitted it. I heard nothing for a year and stopped watching the show, then they sent an invite to pitch with the series Bible and a sample script (it was "Duet," the only other great episode in S1). But I had stopped watching the show. Yet I had to come up with pitch ideas for it. And this was before DVD seasons were released or streaming. Mid 90s here. I had no way to catch up. I came up with three pitch ideas and pitched them to Ron Moore. And he told me each of them had been done in one form or the other. And I couldn't admit I had stopped watching the show. I had to go "Oh, yeah.... I guess it is kinda like...." without any idea what he was talking about. As a result, I couldn't bring myself to watch DS9 again, even though I'm well informed that it's great.

2024-12-11 18:09:19 +0000 UTCAs long as she watches DS9 I'm happy. But I did vote for all of them by airdate.
GuardianAlexio .
2024-12-11 18:09:17 +0000 UTCIt's not the same thing. There is an overlap and continuity between TNG & DS9, and DS9 & Voyager to an extent and even more with the movies.
The Untempered Cynic
2024-12-11 18:08:41 +0000 UTCI wish I could have checked TWO options: "I want to watch DS9 after TNG" and "I'm interested in non-Trek TV shows"
Paul Hess
2024-12-11 18:08:27 +0000 UTCI should mention, Enterprise doesn’t necessarily need to be part of this poll because it never aired alongside another series. Only TNG/DS9/VOY coexisted in air dates.

2024-12-11 18:08:06 +0000 UTCPlease read my description! I said I will 100% be watching other tv shows regardless of what happens with Trek
Jen M
2024-12-11 18:06:48 +0000 UTCI voted for all the Trek shows in airdate order, as that’s the primary thing that made me a Patron in the first place, but I do think this is a poll that would have benefited from allowing us to vote for multiple things? I’d be happy with any Trek that Jen chooses to watch, in whatever order.
Justin Miyashiro
2024-12-11 18:06:47 +0000 UTCYou can vote for just TNG and DS9 then!

2024-12-11 18:05:24 +0000 UTCJen you are a marvel for even considering more Star Trek. I love DS9 and for you to even consider it I really appreciate you even more. I love everything you do but Star Trek release day is a happy day just watching to react to the intro music. I’m here for whatever you do, really love the music insights on everything you do, makes me have a deeper understanding of movies. Star Trek is just a major bonus for your channel. DS9 would be amazing. You make many people feel joy Jen from your reactions. A precious gift to give.
Nathan Burgess
2024-12-11 18:04:12 +0000 UTCVery true. You're trying your best with a very finicky audience. 😅
Over50Gamer
2024-12-11 18:03:31 +0000 UTCDiscovery had issues in seasons 1 and 2 mostly because they kept changing showrunners. I feel like they found a groove in season 3, but that's true of almost every Trek show. And while it isn't my favorite, I think it gets way too much hate by people being closed-minded, which is ironically exactly what happened to DS9 when it was on, and has only really had a resurgance in appreciation in hindsight. Picard is just a disaster, including season 3 IMO, and I wish they had just never made it.
Paul Peavler
2024-12-11 18:03:09 +0000 UTCThat's a big commitment, I think you should try the first few episodes of each and see if you want to continue. The first couple episodes of each will tell you a lot about the rest of the show. The views for sure will be high for those first episodes, but may taper off after that.

Daddy Dogg Abbott
2024-12-11 18:00:04 +0000 UTCIf I voted TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT by airdate, basically I'm here for the Trek as long as it lasts Will that count as me also wanting to get see TNG & DS9, and TNG, DS9 and VOY by airdate if the voting is tight?
The Untempered Cynic
2024-12-11 18:00:01 +0000 UTCWhee! I voted for "watch by airdate," but honestly, so long as you eventually get around to watching all the series (especially DS9 and Voyager) I don't much care the order in which you do it. I do understand the desire (of those of us who saw these when they first came out) to have you replicate the experience we had, but I just don't think it matters that much. I certainly don't think there are things you "won't understand" if you don't watch it in the order we did; that's silly.
Ken Schneyer
2024-12-11 17:59:47 +0000 UTCYeah, this is an important point. DS9 and TNG are the only shows that really interact with each other at all. For reasons that I won't get into due to spoilers, Voyager and Enterprise don't really interact with the other shows in real time, so they can be watched afterward whenever.
Paul Peavler
2024-12-11 17:59:42 +0000 UTCVoyager and Enterprise are seperated shows while TNG and DS9 have crossovers. You could easily left both of them out of your considerations, especially Enterprise.
Curaitis
2024-12-11 17:59:13 +0000 UTC(Not a spoiler, but the premise of Voyager is that it takes place in a quadrant far away from the Federation. So a lack of overlap is pretty much the point.)
Anonymous Groucho
2024-12-11 17:58:53 +0000 UTCThis is exactly where I’m at. I would love all Trek series listed, but I think the burn out might be real! TNG+Movies/DS9 seems like maybe a tenable option. Again, I love them all, just trying to factor in reaction stamina. And, yeah, you could revisit the others later or whatever! I’m here because you seem genuine and brilliant in your reactions and that’s entertaining!

Brian Leonard
2024-12-11 17:58:31 +0000 UTCYes they are both on my list. As I said, regardless of what happens with Trek I will watch other shows as well

2024-12-11 17:57:32 +0000 UTCI came to your Youtube channel and followed for the movie reactions. Once I saw that you started doing TNG seemingly in its entirety, I became a Patreon and discovered so many more full-length cool reactions to laugh and cheer along with. Just saying I'm in it for the long haul, Jen. Thank you.

Logan Boggess
2024-12-11 17:57:05 +0000 UTCI've voted for TNG & DS9 by airdate, however that's specifically because there are points in TNG & DS9 where you would definitely benefit from watching them concurrently, not because I wouldn't like you to watch Voyager or Enterprise. There's no real downside to watching Voyager after DS9 is complete, and Enterprise didn't air until Voyager was finished, so would wait naturally regardless
Sean Ellingham
2024-12-11 17:56:55 +0000 UTCEveryone has their own opinions on what Star Trek is worth watching so I errored on watching all of it. All of pre paramount + Star Trek was at least good. Discovery and seasons 1-2 of Picard are star trek in name only, Lower Decks is awesome, and Strange New Worlds ranges from good to great. I will watch whatever Star Trek you post though.
Brad Shelton
2024-12-11 17:56:31 +0000 UTCAlways sunny in Philadelphia! Game of thrones!
Ryan B
2024-12-11 17:56:21 +0000 UTCI'm a DS9 lover and I always recommended it because I think you will be, too, based on the parts of TNG you've liked the most. So I voted to watch it by airdate alongside TNG, because I want to watch it again and I would love to watch along with you and this community, and I would love to see it exposed to more people that really feel off Trek after TNG. All that said, I really feel like some people on here are getting a little wild about this whole thing. You have a whole audience outside of just Patreon to consider, and if Trek is a bit of a niche, then DS9 is a niche within a niche. I think you've curated exactly that niche on Patreon because we're passionate and love our Trek universe and there's so little attention to it from bigger channels, and even when there is it's usually just highlights or top episodes and then the movies (which are arguably the least interesting pieces of Trek media). And I appreciate that, but this is a job at the end of the day, and you should ultimately do whatever makes the most sense in that context. Just my thoughts, I'll be watching whatever you decide. I just hope people on here don't get all bent out of shape if this poll doesn't go the way they want, whichever way that is.
Paul Peavler
2024-12-11 17:56:11 +0000 UTCI'm happy with TNG and DS9. Other Trek are fine as long as it doesn't take away movie slots
Carlos Perez
2024-12-11 17:55:55 +0000 UTCI think you should combine the "I want to watch DS9 after TNG" and "I want to watch TNG and DS9 consecutively BY AIRDATE." Because these are people saying the same thing. There isn't really much overlap and I can't remember what overlap there might have been between DS9 and VOY (no TNG, it was over before VOY began).
Anonymous Groucho
2024-12-11 17:55:53 +0000 UTCI put TNG and DS9 consecutively by airdate (release date for movies). Ultimately, it would be cool to watch all the series, but TNG and DS9 specifically are best watched concurrently. Also, it allows you to play the game of "guess which tng episodes were originally written to be ds9 episodes".

I’ll vote for air date order, but I just wanna express I’m already grateful for how much dedication you’ve given Trek! Live long and prosper. 🖖🏼
timdoesphoto
2024-12-11 17:53:17 +0000 UTCIt's a very big loaf to slice no doubt!! Another fave channel of mine is doing all chronological order,,, But it's like the Marvel universe It's like any anthology It's this isn't a recent phenomenon People argue about watch orders all the time like the Narnia books can be read in a certain orders The TV show The Prisoner only has 17 episodes and everyone argues about that watch order,, You don't even have to go by strict order date You can loosely slide things around based on the era but it depends on how much research you want to do-- But ultimately I think your fan is trust you and you seem like the kind of girl to do a lot of research so we all trust you there :))) Love your channel Jen keep it up!! You're one of the best! One of the greats!!

2024-12-11 17:52:12 +0000 UTCSmall point - feel like we should forget about voyager and ent for now - though I'm a big fan of voyager (and it has story points you've repeatedly "I hope they .." about in TNG FWIW) it kinda warps the poll, and it's too early to think about that anyway..
