As of last week, our grand (re)watch of every single Star Trek series from TOS to ST: Enterprise has finally finished. I must say that except for that one Klingon episode too many for most of the time, it has been an endeavor well worth it. Over a period of nearly two years
cavendish and I rediscovered an awful lot fannish goodness and also caught up on a lot of stuff we had missed during the original airings of the respective shows.
To sum up viewing experiences in just a few words:
The Original Series: The re-mastered DVDs, which kind of started the whole re-watching business *g*, are worth every cent. The colours, the carefully modernised special effects, wow, just wow!
TNG: Much love, accompanied by occasional wincing. If there is a Starfleet captain I would love to serve under as an officer, it is cleary Picard.
DS9: Capturing and thought-provoking, even after all these years.
Voyager: The biggest surprise, by far, and I hasten to add the surprise has been an unexpectedly positive one. During the show's original run, neither Cavendish nor I had watched any further than season three. Also the re-watch which resulted in the most nick-naming of characters with regard to certain episodes. GI-Janeway. Ethno-Chakotay *g*
Enterprise: Moments of wonder, moments of greatness, moments of repeated head-desking. The red-headed stepchild of the whole Star Trek franchise with an awful lot of wasted potential. The final ep These are the Voyages does not exist. T'Pol, Phlox, Macolm, Hoshi, Shran, you're brilliant. Trip, dear, you're too good to be true. Most hilarious moment during the rewatch: the episode where I discovered my husband's a secret Trip/T'Pol shipper.
Not having any Star Trek to turn to in the evening feels kind of strange. So, dear f-listers, I ask you
