Hi!  I have been listening to the podcast for a while now & finally decided to jump into the forums.

I am a big Star Wars/Star Trek/BSG(TOS)/Buck Rogers heck any sci-fi fan.  Since this is primarily a Star Trek Site I should probably go with my views & history on that so everyone knows where I am coming from when I post.

TOS: I grew up watching this on reruns. Where ever my dad was stationed, some channel ran it.  I think that was one of the earliest shows I ever watched. (OK the earliest I can remember were the cartoons Battle of the Planets, Speed Racer & Banana Splits at my grandparents place, I am pretty sure I was still in diapers :taz.)  I loved the series & eventually my dad let me play as few games of Star Fleet Battles with his friends.  I died horribly but had fun.

TAS: I saw this on reruns on Nickelodeon & loved it as part of TOS (in my mind).

The Movies: All in all I liked the TOS cast movies.  When I saw a copy of TMP I was wondering what weird bumpy headed aliens  :klingon had captured some Klingon ships, then I found out those were SUPOSED to be Klingons. :shocked  The Klingons in the movies always reminded me of Space thugs in run down space ships.

TNG: I am in the target audience for this to be my "Favorite" or introductory series, but it isn't.  I watched most of the series & enjoyed many episodes.  Data was one of my favorite characters.  Although she was a much older woman I thought Beverly was HAWT.  I can picture a 12 year old me humming "Wesley's mom has got it going on" :love (for those who know the Stacey's mom song).  I liked Picard as a captain.  Not my favorite captain (Sisko) but one I liked.

A few of my biggest grips; The Klingons & the Romulans.  The Klingons went from being Sun-Tsu, Von Clausewitz, Machiavelli reading Totalitarians to Bumpy headed Biker Space Vikings pretending to be Samurai. :wacko.  The Romulans from being emotional, honorable enemies who looked like Vulcans (Gasp!) to sneaky back stabbing grim people who couldn't smile unless they tricked a puppy into stepping on a mine. >:( Oh & they were given ominous Neanderthal brow ridges.  And to further my heresy, I don't care for the Borg.

DS9: I really liked the early seasons that I could watch.  I missed most of the later episodes though.  I thought the Cardassians were what the Klingons should have been.  I suppose in my mind I could pretend that the Cardassians were the TOS Klingons occupying Bajor :ohbaby  I thought the show was really neat & I liked allot of the characters.

Voyager: I tried to watch the series but gave up.  So much potential & we got a this & a ship that could catch the sniffles.  I liked the Doctor.  From what I remember Tuvok was pretty cool too.

Enterprise:  From the few episodes I saw, I love this series too.  I would put this behind TOS & TAS in my fav list.

The New Movie:  After seeing do many fond childhood memories molested by Hollywood I was nervous.  I decided to keep cautiously optimistic & avoided spoilers.  I did read the prequel comics.  I Thought the movie was great!  I enjoyed it.  My TOS universe still exists but I have this new one to watch now!  :cheers

Well I am running late & need to run off now,  So here is Hi & a bit about myself (Star Trek fanwise.)
