FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: tcook052
This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition, 2018 edition and 2019 edition.

The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.

While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

FT's own selection is quite limited, but if it's one of the unicode emojis, it should still work. I sometimes use them when I post from my phone. Not sure about that one in particular.

it took Ft forever to have wikis, amongst other features, so not too shocking

question: TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, DSC, or PIC? I like VOY. Haven't seen DSC or PIC yet.

ive been rewatching TNG and forgot how funny it was

If you've seen the first 5, I'd go for the new ones.

Also Lower Decks. It's awesome, and it has a lot oof references you'll pick up on if you've seen other series. If you think TNG is funny...

I've seen all of TNG and Voyager. A bunch of the original episodes. Never watched Deep Space Nine or any of the others, although a couple people told me Picard was good. I probably prefer TNG to Voyager, but I'm not a massive fan of any of the Star Trek stuff.

I didn't like DS9 as much but I did appreciate some of the plots/arcs and characters.
Trials and Tribble-ations stands out for me.

Picard was good.

There's one plot choice they made that didn't work for me, but we can discuss that offline after you've seen it.

Possibly controversial statement but DS9 is by far the best series in the franchise.

Oh, I think that Saturday's Do will be quite the blood sport event! Not sure if it is the classical music debate that yyznomad might have with you or jlisi984, or the DS9 claim, but I look forward to watching from the sidelines! I'll try to do my homework on both. I haven't seen Lower Decks, so I'll try to start there if I can find it. I'm happy to read (listen to) some homework on common practice theory if anyone has suggestions.
