Does it make me more of a nerd to admit that I
think Star Trek is really cool? Or does it make me less of a nerd because I’m
only just now admitting that in writing?
I guess I should start by saying that in this
case, I’m talking specifically about Star
Trek: The Next Generation, because I happened to catch a few episodes of
those recently. But I’m not opposed to
any of the others. Quite the opposite;
when I was a little baby Voltech I used to drift off to sleep thanks to the
lulling tones of reruns for TNG, Deep
Space Nine, and Voyager. (Not Enterprise,
though -- I don’t remember there being any reruns, at least none that threw
themselves at me.) Most of the show’s
dialogue was lost on me, naturally, but these days? If and when I catch reruns of TNG, I find myself pulling a Shulk and
going “I’m really feeling it!”
In all honesty, though, I’m still a greenhorn when
it comes to the franchise. So what do
you say we unpack this for a bit? I’m
sure it won’t be that hard, seeing as how it’s already off to a strong start. As if you needed a reminder that SPACE IS
AWESOME.
