I did rewatch the series recently, and I'd say a lot of it holds up really well.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I really enjoyed the spooky government covering up aliens main arc of the story, up to a point. Right up until the movie comes out actually. After that it starts to trundle badly and doesn't really go anywhere interesting.

That would be my recommendation in fact. Watch straight through up to (and including) the movie. From that point on, just pick and choose the good stand alone episodes, of which there are still many.

I always have to rewatch the fight from the end of Wheels on Meals every once in a while, it's one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen.

This feels a little crazy, but I've never heard of the noble gas Oganesson. Is it something new?

In that case don’t even worry about cpu, really you’d be fine with a 5600x equivalent. If the 7950x3d winds up being better value for money then fine, but otherwise your limiting factor will be your gpu, if not your data pipeline.

If you're training neural networks, I'm not sure - I would wait for reviews of the 7950x3d (though in this case, you should almost always prefer a mid-tier GPU like a 3060ti)

If you're doing something like random forests or SVM, you're going to find yourself limited by SSD or even RAM speed loooooong before the difference between a 7950x3d and 7950x ever becomes relevant.

No, it doesn't have to be. A long arduous hike would be type-2 fun. Besides, random calamity aside, there's not much adrenaline to be found from trudging through the snow.

This is type-2 fun. It's extremely fun after you finish.
