In this modern day and age, binge-watching complete seasons of TV shows has become common. I myself recently finished watching Enterprise, and came up with some drinking game rules for it. I extend to my fellow Dopers the opportunity to gamify your couch potato alcoholism for your own shows. **Enterprise drinking game** Drink whenever [ul] [li]T’Pol tells someone (usually Archer or Trip) they need to rest[/li][li]They ignore her advice[/li][li]Dr. Phloxx says a patient is in perfect health[/li][li]Somebody gripes about the Vulcans holding them back[/li][li]Enterprise gets barraged by enemy attacks they could have avoided if Archer showed any amount of caution[/li][li]Somebody says “Helm’s not responding”[/li][li]Somebody says “They’re jamming us”[/li][li]Archer insists they have to help a stranded alien vessel despite the extremely dangerous circumstances[/li][li]T’Pol says “Vulcans have no \_\_\_\_\_\_\_”[/li][li]An Andorian calls a human “pink skin” despite the presence of African-descended[/li][/ul] ---

Star Trek (The Original Series): an undoubtedly incomplete list - Kirk kisses a woman - Kirk’s shirt gets torn - Kirk strikes an opponent in a fight with a double-fisted punch - Spock raises an eyebrow - Spock says “fascinating” - McCoy says, “I’m a doctor, not a…” - McCoy offers homespun wisdom to Kirk - McCoy insults Spock - Scotty gives a dire assessment of the ship’s condition (“She cannae take much more o’ this!”) - Red-shirted security personnel are injured or die - Soft-focus closeup of female chararcter (the “Edith Keeler Fuzz Lens”) ---

The Big Bang Theory Sheldon says “That’s my spot.” Sheldon says “I’m not crazy. My mother had me tested.” Sheldon does the knock_knock_knock bit. Sheldon says anything that insults religious beliefs. Raj looks pathetic. Stuart looks pathetic. Mrs. Wolowitz screams from the next room. Anyone screams back at Mrs. Wolowitz. Amy expresses sexual frustration. ---

I found one for Farscape: Take one drink when Crichton makes a pop culture reference. Take one drink when Aeryn threatens someone/something. Take one drink when Stark acts crazy. Take one drink when Rygel screws over everyone else. Take one drink when Chiana sluts it up. Take a shot when Scorpius does some creepy shit. Take one drink when Noranti drugs someone. Take one drink for “frell,” “mivonks,” or “hezmana.” Take one drink when there’s a shot of Moya. Take one drink when there’s a shot of a random DRD. Two drinks if it’s 1812. Take two drinks when magic shit happens. Take a shot when there’s a reference to an alien sex act. Take two shots when John acts crazy to overcome an obstacle. Finish your drink when Harvey wears a costume. Pour libations when a crew member dies, then finish your drink and cry a little. It works better with some episodes than others, but we all felt horrible the next morning and that’s what counts. ---

This idea occurred to me watching “The World’s Strongest Man”. I thought someone should drink every time they said: “The future of strongman” Used the word “focus” Used the phrase “taking care of business” ---

**House Hunters** - “We want an open concept.” - The property has popcorn ceilings - Buyer insists on all-white kitchen - “We need lots of space for entertaining!” - Property has a sink or bathtub in a color other than white - Realtor uses the term “man-cave” - Male in cis couple insists he is the more “logical” one - Female in cis couple jokes about taking up an entire closet herself - Someone sits in a bathtub fully clothed - “[Name of client’s dog] will love this yard!” **House Hunters International** - “This doesn’t have that traditional [country name] charm I’m looking for.” - Buyer insists on an American-sized refrigerator - “We need a spare bedroom for when our families come to visit.” - Buyer insists on a dishwasher - Property agent snarks about the buyer behind their back - Buyer brings a dog from the U.S. - “If we get the cheaper place, that means we’ll have more money for traveling.”
