Star Trekkin!

sharpeslass and I have been immersing ourselves in Star Trek again lately, a nice way to spend the summer. (Sitting on the couch, in the air conditioning, with cold beer/wine/Pepsi/diet Coke, and science fiction show of choice.) sharpeslass had not seen all of the ST: Next Generation episodes, and I'd hardly seen ST: Voyager except for first season, so we're switching back and forth between series.

She is discovering the joy of awesome TNG episodes like Yesterday's Enterprise and I am amazed at the "soapiness" of Voyager. And I actually LIKE Seven of Nine. But I may be irreparably ticked off because sharpeslass warned me to back off on my 'shippiness because Janeway/Chakotay do not ever get together. This is an unbelievable CRIME. Chakotay=HOT and obviously nuts about Janeway. Star Trek writers are so Eeeevil. Why do I bother to 'ship Star Trek? I am reminded of back in the day when I threw a fit every time Picard hooked up with a new set of space boobs.

At least the creators got Kira and Odo together in Deep Space Nine. But I'm still ticked over this Janeway/Chakotay thing.

Off to Indiana tomorrow... everyone have a great week!

I think that's what got Voyager fans so discombobulated. They started out with great characters. And then they just started changing everything around. And it wasn't in a "the characters are growing" kind of way. They just changed things. Quite disorienting.

I ended up appreciating Chakotay and Seven, but it still should have been Chokotay and Janeway. :)

Well, like I said, I actually like Seven, but not sure how I'll feel about her with Chakotay... We just watched the one where the Hirogen (sp?) take over the holodecks and they're stuck in a 1940s WWII simulation... PERFECT time for Chakotay/Janeway to get busy. If counted by hours screaming in frustration, Star Trek actually makes me scream more than any other fandom. Though I did spend a lot of time screaming over KJA. ;)
