I’m a big fan of Star Trek. There I said. I’m not ashamed. I liked watching the original cheesy version with its bad special effects and worse acting. Don’t you just love the way William Shanter spoke? No one butchers a sentence better than he does. It’s a classic. The many movies they made years later…priceless. Star Trek The Next Generation – three words: Jean Luc Pickard. I can listen to him speak all day – classic voice. Special effects and acting improved greatly from the classic version, but hey it’s still Star Trek.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine – interesting new characters. I watched it for a while but it wasn’t the same.
Star Trek Voyager – cool female captain who takes herself too seriously. Still it feels like classic Star Trek. It’s enjoyable to watch.
Star Trek
Why the fascination with Star Trek? Today I was thinking about some of the cool gadgets of Star Trek. Who wouldn’t want to create a force field around their vehicles (especially if their teenagers are driving)? Why spend money going on a vacation? Instead visit the Holodeck and be anywhere you want to be.
My favorite is the transporter. Tom left on a business trip today and he’ll be gone until Sunday. When he travels, I wish there was a transporter that he can leave in the morning, do his business, then come home to me at night.
I want a transporter in my future – don’t you? I mean we have the flip phone. It’s the next logical step in technology. Okay, I know I’m stretching that a bit, but I’m missing him.
I’m counting the days honey.

I... attended the ... William SHATTNER school of (dramatic pause) over-ACTING!
Not really... but I love the original ST series. Seen 'em all at least a dozen times. The movies are great as well. And TNG: awesome! But after that, it just wasn't the same.
Still, I hope you get your transporter soon!
Make it so.
I loved the Star Trek Series; Next Generation and Voyager. Enterprise was iffy. Grew up on the Next Generation shows, and still love to watch them.
I really hope someone is working on a transporter. Wouldn't that be fun!
A transporter would be awesome! That would make my hubby's business trips a lot less difficult as well.
I actually don't mind the newest star trek but that is as far as I go! :-)
Yet another reason I like you. I'm a big Star Trek fan also. Grew up during the original. Loved NG and Voyager DS9 was pretty good. I also didn't get into Enterprise series when it originally aired but I recently recorded and watched the entire series on SciFi channel when they showed four episodes each Monday for several months. I just saw a article on the web that predicted that we could see Holodecks in our lifetime.
I watched Star Trek in TV as a kid and that's as far as I got. I haven't watched ANY of the movies. But I am all for the gadgets. Anything to make life easier and less scary. Jen
I actually watched Star Trek "ON" Tv and not in it. That would have been a bit cramped.
I love star trek too! Tyler got me hooked!!!
Aw, I hope the time flies by for both of you.
I was an avid Star Trek fan. I watched with my dad every night. It was our time together. I admit I didn't like any of the new ones after Star Trek: the Next Generation.
The transporter is a wonderful idea. I hope you don't miss him too much...only three more days to go! :)
I'll be transported in the future...yesssssss indeed...who needs technology when ya got...well...beam me up Jesus!
I think I have one of those movies...I do believe it is the Next Generation...on Laser Disc of all things...yep, still have the momma of all lazer products.
a Transporter? yeah that would be great wouldn't it?! ya never know;)
Hey, don't forget, God has the origional transport system. He did it for Philip....who knows...Nadine may be next!
Very cute, Nadine! My husband is a bit of a Trekky...not so much anymore, but he still has just a little bit left in him. I only liked the original Star Trek...such memories growing up watching those reruns at 5 pm every day. Loved William Shatner! :)
** William SHATTNER
like him alot :)
Keshi.
I LOVED Star Trek the Next Generation, yes because of those three word's "classic voice"! I wish I every home had a holodeck too!!!
I LOVE Star Trek - and Jean Luc? Well... let's just say he's on my list of sexy old guys (guys older than me anyway...)
Never been a Star Trek fan, but my husband is the biggest fan I know!
You are too funny :) Yeah - I am a Star Trek fan myself. I grew up with the original one :)...The transporter would be cool - than I wouldn't have to endure traffic to work...
i love star trek too! and for many of the same reasons. i count captian janeway as one of my heroes - he makes such tough decisions! looking forward to the new movie....
I have often wished I had a transporter, because here in the DC metro area it takes you FOREVER to get through traffic.
I am also a big Star Trek fan and can't wait for the new movie to come out.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
