+## Impressions {#impressions}
+
+Did we deserve some bookstore porn?
+Because we've got one!
+I think we all dreamed about selling and surrounding ourselves with books, even if we don't read much these days.
+
+And how did we get it?
+Most of this episode happens right before the year 2000 - hence, the episode's name.
+No space travel, replicators, aliens.
+And it looks glorious!
+I forgot how much I love the classic TV aesthetic, with those _perfect_ smaller American cities.
+I don't have any idea if US ever looked like this, but image of such city is forever etched into my brain.
+It's not as disgusting as in _Midnight Cowboy_ nor as dirty as in _Coming to America_[^fn:1]
+Yet, it's still kind of same?
+And TV had this specific _feeling_ of enclosed spaces full of close up shots.
+Be it _Seinfeld_ or _Cojack_, America never looked better.
+Nowadays, TV series pretend to be cinema movies.
+They fail miserably at this, but they try.
+Kids will not know how a TV shot can look like.
+
+And it's so fitting, as the story here is about our relation with history.
+Is it as perfect as we remember it?
+Does it matter if we look at it through pink tinted glasses?
+I don't think so and nor does the Trek crew here.
+All glory to then!
+
+11:59 is a cute little episode.
+I enjoyed it immensely, even though in 3 years I'll have no memory of ever seeing it.

+[^fn:1]: I've been raised in the 90s, so I was subjected to USA's cultural propaganda and I still love it.
+    Movies were simply better back then.
