    I did something similar to TOS, and it’s surprising how well they can be understood still! Of course the looks and facial expressions are missing, but I picked up a lot more from the voices. It definitely gives a different perspective to the episode.

      What a coincidence! I wasn’t expecting anyone to know what I was talking about :) That’s great - I must do TOS as well at some point. It’s great that this has given the episodes a new lease of life.

        I got the idea from something I read about a teacher in a film class or something similar that had their students listen to TOS as an exercise, and I decided to try it myself! I still prefer watching to listening, but it’s been pretty nice.

        I was also doing something similar during my Voyager rewatch recently. There’s quite a number of episodes that are very generic, or sometimes just ones I don’t like that well, so I just listened to some of them as I worked on something else in the room. In that case I didn’t convert them to audio so I could still watch if I wanted.
