On Oct. 14 2019 I watched DS( "Sacrifice of Angels" and Voyager "Repression" and part of TOS "Is there in Truth No Beauty?", and then the beginning of Enterprise "Dead Stop" on Oct. 15, all on Heroes & Icons.
Curiously I watched "Repression" on Heroes & Icons just a few hours after reading it mentioned in some posts in the thread: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/how-many-maquis-members-were-on-voyager.301202/
"Dead Stop" begins four days after "Minefield". The damaged Enterprise can travel only at Warp factor 2. If that is TOS warp 2 that is equal to 8 times the speed of light. They happen to be only 3.5 days from an automated repair station built by aliens, or a distance of about 28 light days, and about a decade from the repair facility at Jupiter, which should make them about 80 light years from Earth..

You must have meant "ENT warp 2". "TOS" would have done it in less time on impulse.
In TFF they get to the center of the galaxy in a matter of hours... that means that they could go as far as Voyager did in less than a week... Consistency is not Star Trek's strong point.
According to the official warp scale in the TOS writers' Guide and The Making of Star Trek (1968) warp speed equaled the warp factor cubed times the speed of light, thus warp factor two would be equal to two cubed (or eight) times the speed of light.
And many writers for TOS, TAS, and TOS movies seem not to have bothered making distance, speed, and time calculations or maybe were never informed of the official TOS warp scale. Some time, speed & distance situations in TOS agree with the official warp scale, others don't. So people have been trying to explain various warp speed problems in TOS since long before TNG used a different space speed scale and many episodes used inaccurate TNG speeds.

The Guide is just that, "guidelines" (like pirate "parley"). On-screen is canon. The best way to resolve both sources: use the Cochrane Factor, x. The "Guide" was suggesting a "normal" warp scale with x = 1, usually good for cruising around solar systems (but not close-in sun or planet gravity wells). Once outside the effects of a star system (or some other technobabble reason like galactic strings, subspace jet streams, etc.), the x changes and you pick up speeds 10-50 times the "normal" warp scale. Works for me. 
TNG "The Perfect Mate" on H&I.
The beautiful Famke Janssen wanted Picard. Alas, Picard turned her down. Picard has a lot of warp drive but doesn't seem to have much sex drive.

Voyager, Season 1 episode 11, 'State of Flux'.
Seska's betrayal and reveal of her Cardassian identity. Also featuring the best villains of early Voyager, the Kazon. The Kazon actually seem more realistic than many other alien species, with petty grudges and jealousy. Terrible hair though.

TNG The Drumhead
"Sub Rosa" - Star Trek: The Next Generation
Or Beverly Crusher stars in Erotic Times on Planet Scotland.
Not a brilliant episode by any means, more cheesy fun though it isn't nearly as bad as its reputation among fandom suggests. I mean, I'd take this over most of Star Trek: Discovery.
I do wonder what Ronin's plan was? Since I believe Beverly was the last of the Howard women.

Hung out with a friend. We watched "The Perfect Mate" (TNG)... not on H&I (even though it's a weird coincidence they had it on today) but on CBS All Access. After that, I said we should put on "Elaan of Troyius" (TOS). Then we compared and contrasted the two episodes. Two different takes on the same idea, but the parallels were interesting.
I must say there's a ton I noticed in "The Perfect Mate" that I never noticed when I was 12. Went right over my head when I was a kid. They said so much through that episode by exactly what they didn't say, so it could still qualify as being a Family Show. Picard had sex with Kamala and they dance around it both in the dialogue and the way he acted all through the second half.
BTW, when Kamala tries to seduce Riker, he leaves and then tells the bridge he'll be in the holodeck. Says nothing else afterwards and they cut to another scene. That's the classy way of handling something they couldn't talk about. If you don't get it, you don't know what he really said. If you do, then you don't need to hear any more. Fill in the blanks yourself.
