Truism vs Nerdism

I'm going to make an assumption that if reading this, you didn't have a stellar time in school. Not that you had a bad time, per se, just that some parts were maybe lacking. I reach this conclusion based on probability; odds are that most people didn't. This can be from actual evidence where somebody didn't have the best time, purely that they only felt they had a hard time based on their own perspective, or maybe a mix of both as is what can happen.

I was that quiet kid, eccentric, smarter than for me own good (even if I do say so myself).

Anyway, point is that for all peoples assumptions I hadn't been one to watch Star Trek The Next Generation. Other people had and would talk about it, but I never got the time to catch it. Then along Netflix came - my one luxury at the moment and after a while it came up as a recommendation in my list. Seven seasons long, that's something to take up the time. It's been interesting on how self-knowing it is about what it's doing, a wink to the audience here and there. It was mostly background viewing to begin with while I was doing other things, but then a little into the first season that they were down on a planet with somebody was trying to get information from them and they asked what ship it was.

"Enterprise?"

"...No...it's the Lollipop"

"The Lollipop?"

"Yes. It's a good ship..."

Okay, Star Trek. You got me. I like you now. Just another 6 and a half seasons of it to go.

Question is what to do next. I mean House of Cards seems a bit serious, much more feeling like the more lighthearted, self-aware wink from Supernatural but the new season's not listed yet. There's always the lighthearted, self-aware wink from Leverage. Or the lighthearted, self-aware wink fro---wait, I'm starting to sense a pattern here...
