Watching for the last time...

If I know I never want to watch something again, I just don't watch it. I don't give it a ceremonial watch just cause.
Well, given that I spent around £1000 collecting those tapes over seven years, I figured getting one more watch out of them might just get me a smidge closer to comparing the whole misadventure to an expensive rental, rather than a total waste of money. I'll have watched them three times!
That's basically my attitude. I'm in no hurry to watch, say, INSURRECTION again, but if it shows up on cable one night when I'm in a mood for some Trek . . ..
I can say that there is Trek that I will not go out of my way to watch - Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Insurrection, Nemesis, "A Night In Sickbay" and various other crappy episodes here and there, from all of the series - but I often have various Trek on for "background noise" while I'm working on the computer. So there's none of it that I can really say I'm 100% DONE with.
'The nacelle is a housing, separate from the fuselage, that holds engines, fuel, or equipment on an aircraft.
You could probably substitute the word 'pod' or even 'housing'.
You and the rest of us are probably pissing off Saint Gene by referring to nacelles in material prior to their first mention in TOS.
This is a lost cause.

Yes, how dare we defy Star Trek canon and refer to those outboard engine things on WWII planes as nacelles! That was centuries before TOS!

Yes. And I wish Enterprise walked lightly with it. Just as if it wasn't defined.
Oh, I'm well aware. I've seen everything of Star Trek at least once. There were some nice points to Enterprise and, regrettably, I accept it as canon. Not like there is a choice or that it's up to me.
Why? It isn't a term created for starships, it is a term we've already used for decades to describe outboard engines. Do you get this would up over dilithium being used in Enterprise?
Well the picture on ST Voyager on Netflix is better than VHS, so you don't really have to buy the DVDs.
I can't envision there being any Trek that I could say 'this is the last time I'll be watching this'. There's much that I won't go out of my way for, but if it's on there's a pretty good chance I'll watch it - at least for a bit.
As Kor has rather graphically indicated, don't bother. She's inured to logic, in-universe examples refuting her "positions", and real world examples refuting her "positions", but instead prefers to wallow in her blind superiority, bitterness, and flip everyone off demeanor. Let her wallow.
I'll probably never purposely watch any Voyager episodes ever again, and though I respect DS9 for being a quality production, there are only a handful of those that I would ever go out of my way to watch again.
As for the movies, my never-again list includes Insurrection, Into Darkness and maybe Nemesis.

While I haven't seen some Trek episodes in over a decade, I'll never say never. There's always the chance I might get a little Chef Riker nostalgia on my deathbed and call up TATV on the Netflux capacitor.
Also, did this thread title make anyone else think of Admiral Ozzel, or am I the only freak?

Well, you always have a choice. It's not as if you have to see Enterprise or any of the bad Trek? It's why some Treks are accepted and many are not. It all depends if the material delivers what you see from Star Trek.
It's not something I'd given much thought to, but I doubt I will see Voyager or Enterprise again. I own neither series and Trek repeats are fairly rare here. I didn't enjoy either series particularly and hindsight only makes them seem more flawed. DS9 on the other hand, I recently bought on DVD and rewatched, and if anything I enjoyed it more this time around. Although the modern binge watching approach highlights tropes, reused shots and sound effects and repetitive plot elements with a clarify that weekly watching in the 90s did not!
