It is a myriad of different established social dynamics and cultural traditions, all dancing in unison to the same philosophical two-step. With Picard as my spokesperson for the rational and the vulnerable me and the enterprise traverse the deeper channels of the television universe.
The creativity, the endless boundaries for thought.
Just like Space itself.
No I don’t know Klingon or go to the conferences, but I’m enough of a nerd to make this post.
I admit I am old enough to have watch the
original in 1966. I have watch every single trek,
every single movie since then. My brother and I used
to play a game whereas we would guess which star trek
episode it was, the fastest. Once I got it in the very first shot
of the episode. I still watch reruns of the various treks to this
day. I guess that makes me rather dedicated, or my wife
would say, insane.
Origenal, Next Generation, DS9 were all great, even Voyager was good at times.
Although Star Trek isn’t my favorite sci-fi franchise. I’d have to say that Babylon 5 is my favorite sci-fi show. You just have to watch every episode to get it.
Trek from the original to voyager ,generation, deep space9, enterprise, and then of course all the movies. They are great, I enjoy watching the casts of the shows slowly develop into their characters and meld seemingly as a real crew, usually by the end of the first seasons they work well together, deep space was the only shaky one that had a hard time. I enjoyed it anyway,It had Whorf on it.(If you know how to truly spell his name you are a bigger fan then me).
I am waiting for Anne McCaffrey’s dragon world of Pern to come forward. If they can do that, it might just make a good series.
I just picked up a collection of 18 of the first year’s run of gen 2. Supposedly, for my oldest son, but he might have to beg a little to get them away from me…
