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!

Oh, there's fanfic all right... but it's hard to read it after the fact when one already knows that nothing will happen.

And you are so right-- Kira/Odo are TOTALLY OTP! I remember watching that season six episode where they finally get together, after four seasons of poor Odo angsting about how much he loves Kira, and then SQUEEEEE! Star Trek writers finally pay off. :)
