Wait, we are? TIL.

Lots of great recommendations here. I'd also add Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. Her Penric novels are quite fun, too.

The Hornblower stories are also excellent. They might hit a bit simpler -- the characters are a bit more heroic, a bit less complicated. IMO both are worth reading, but they hit a bit different even though they sail through similar waters (I was going to say 'covers the same ground', ha!)

They don’t exist

You, sir, are a punk.

Take this upvote and carry on.

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. My neighborhood isn't the best for walkability -- there are definitely better areas in this city in that respect.

To the nearest convenience store: 1.5km To the nearest chain supermarket: 1.9km To the bus stop: 140m To the nearest park: 480m To the nearest big supermarket: 5.8km To the nearest library: 1.9km To the nearest train station: 800m

Straight-line distance to Big Ben: 6450km

Hmm, I don't really remember that. OTOH, it HAS been a long time since I've watched DS9. I rewatched TNG more recently, so I have that Keiko in mind.

Yep. Blast from the past.

Wait, people would seriously put her as 'most annoying' on TNG or DS9? Next to Wesley and Winn?!

we had The Phantom Menace

Hey, I thought we were talking about decent examples of sci fi

TNG ... 50%

I'd put it more like 25%. That being said, I def consult episode guides when I'm rewatching and skip accordingly.

I don't recognize her. What show?

Hmm, it's been a while since something reminded me of alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die
