ltc wanted to watch a new show tonight when TCG left for his meeting. So, we're watching the Star Trek cartoon, which I don't think I've ever seen before. So far so good.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

The musical score from those cartoons just started playing in my head unbidden, and I haven't seen them since the early 1980s!

It was too talky for ltc with not enough female characters to hold her attention. So, we've switched back to the Muppet Show.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I remember enjoying the animated Star Trek when I was a kid (I think Nickelodeon showed it on weekends.) I believe that series was the first appearance of the holodeck.

Neat! I don't remember even knowing about it until recently.

I've reached Toph in my Avatar rewatch. TOPH.
Before starting that, I watched She-Ra. SHE-RA. (and Catra and Scorpia and Entrapta.)

Season 3 is still my favorite because Suki actually gets to work with the Gaang for awhile.

TOPH! And Suki being awesome! I love me some Suki. Her flippy business at the Boiling Rock prison is rockstar.
I do wish LOK had given us more on what happened with Sokka and Suki; like, they didn't need to get married off (two childhood-sweetheart marriages was enough), but I think Sokka is hardly even mentioned...
Also really enjoyed She-Ra, although I do think that (spoilers for the finale) Catra's not really redeemed by the end; you don't see any repentance on her part for all the damage she did. She does want to do better going forward, but she doesn't seem to acknowledge how many deaths she was responsible for. And making her behavior just part of her frustrated love for Adora doesn't really address that, I think.
That said, I really enjoyed the show, it was hella fun and the finale was very impressive.
