Well...right now, I'm watching Voyager - 7th season. I have seasons 1-7 on DVD (a once in a lifetime find on craigslist for $50 in all), and I've nearly complete my Trek (pun intended) through the set of 7. We're on "Body and Soul" and I have to say, that season 6 and 7, have been wonderful.
I just got into Star Trek around a year ago. My boyfriend Brendan got me hooked. He knew that I enjoyed Sci-Fi (sorry...just had to pull a band-aid out of my puppy's mouth...more on him later) and introduced me to the wonderful world of Gene Roddenberry. *DAMMIT ROGER* (I had to take one of my work shoes out of his mouth just now). I've seen nearly episode of Enterprise (the other half of the amazing $50 per series find), and now we're working our way through Voyager. Every night, we watch between 2-4 episodes. It's something Brendan and I do to spend time together because it's so special to us. This is because Trek offers so many cinematic qualities most episodic television series lacks. It's a lens through which we can examine our society, and ultimately ourselves. I know I'm not alone when I say that part of me wishes it were real (emphasis on the *PART* because SHIT those Borg are scary!). *and the dog just peed on the floor....nicccccccccccce*
Brendan and I watch other shows together too. We enjoy normal sitcoms like House, How I met your Mother, Friends, anything on Comedy Central etc. but we also watch nerdy shows too, like Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, and (you guessed it) Star Trek. Brendan also introduced me to the world of Science Fiction literature (I'm reading Foundation right now). Hopefully this gives you a good background from where I'm coming from, but honestly, it's going to take more than a few posts to get you up to speed on where I am on the geek'o'meter. Well I'm off to clean up puppy pee and to play some FFIV on my nintendo DS.
