Star Trek and geek details:
I come into this project having seen most of Voyager and some of Deep Space Nine and Next Generation. I have seen maybe half a season of the original and none of Enterprise. I have seen some of the movies but this was a while ago and which ones by title remain to be seen.
I fell in love with Janeway from the first time she fixed her bouffant hairdo while sparks were flying around her. I found this unendingly hilarious and as a 5th grade girl, a woman in charge of a "boy show" was enough to have me hooked!
Yes, I was born in 1984, so Voyager is the only series I watched while it aired. Just this age issue makes me a relative noob and causes Shawn to mock me at times. This is one of many reasons that I step into this project with less experience than everyone else.
Just as you always prefer your first Dr. Who (Chris Eccleston) I think Janeway will probably always be my favorite captain, so deal with it.
As a geek, I fall into the following genres of geekiness:
- cat lady
- Joss Whedon geek
- math nerd
- compulsive crafter
- RenFaire attendee
I love several manga books and anime movies, but I find most of them annoying. I ADORE Elfquest, but have never followed another comic book. I know how to handle a sword made of duct tape and wood, but I'd rather not. I like X-men for the moral issues that they face, but could deal with never watching another movie about some emo guy in spandex who must save a city called somethingcity and protect the girl he loves by NOT hanging around her with his big protective super powers. Arg.
A couple warnings:
- My posts might be more concerned with plot holes and inconsistent characters than whether I think Sulu or Inigo Montoya would win in a fencing tournament.
- I call them Vger, DS9 and Next Gen when talking, so this is the last time I will type the whole names of these series.
- My posts will be longer when school is not in session. That's just how my life is.
