For the past serveral years, I've had a subscription to Net Flix. Although their policy of "throttling" is infuriating, I have loved it. One of the thing's I've done is create four seperate Ques, each of which has a different theme to it. One of these is the "TVQ" as I call it. The TVQ contains a full TV series on DVD. I get a couple discs a week, which comes out to 4-8 episodes.

When I was a kid, I was a Treky. Not a Trekker, mind you. A Trekker is your average person who just happens to be a big fan of Star Trek. No, I was a Treky. I had the uniform, I knew a little bit of Klingon. I was in a club. Yea, it was bad. When I hit 16, I got a job, and from there on out, Keeping up with my favorite shows became harder to do. VCR's were MUCH less reliable than TiVos. So, around season 2 of Voyager, I just kind of lost lost track.

And so, a year or so ago, I decided that I was going to catch up. I was going to watch all the Star Trek that I had missed out on. Now that the franchise is, for the most part, dead (yes, I know about the new movie coming up, but I've not heard anything about at T.V. show), I can actually get completely caught up, so I figured why not. I began with DS9, (I saw every episode of Next Gen a hundred times back in the day) which ended up becoming my favorite of the various franchises. Next Gen was what got me hooked, but there was just something about DS9 that was...I dunno...personal. You just really got attached to those characters.

Tonight, I watched the final episode of Star Trek: Voyager. I can't say that it was as good as DS9 or TNG, but I will say that I think it was under-rated. I think it got a bad rap because it started about half way through DS9, and kind of existed in the shadow of that and Next Gen. But, by itself, it was a really good series. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Next up: :::shudder::: Enterprise. I watched a few episodes of this when it started. It seemed pretty lame, for a number of reasons, not least of which was that it was about a starship name Enterprise, despite the fact that it had been well established in Trek-lore that Kirk/Pike's enterprise was the first. Besides that I remember gratuitous cheesecake shots of the Vulcan chick, and just overal..."badness." Still, I promised myself I would watch all of it, and watch all of it I shall.
