What’s something you couldn’t get into, but feel like you should? (kbin.social)

What’s something that you feel like you should like,, but for some reason can’t get into, no matter how many chances you give it?

For me, it’s The Three Body Problem. It should be right up my alley from everything I’ve heard about it (especially the second book, which looks at the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter!), but for the life of me, I can’t get past the first chapter at all. I even tried reading it in another language to see if it was the translation that kept me from getting into it, and nope.

you realize, of course, that pretty much all of the captains have committed war crimes and terrorist acts? Sisko is at least...nomimnally... justified in them.

I mean, Picard uses a child soldier as a helmsman for crying out loud. not exactly the paragon of virtue he claims to be.
