my first love...
Jan. 5th, 2014 03:36 pmfannishly speaking, was perhaps Star Trek: the Next Generation. Arguably, I may have been fannish about things long before, but TNG was where I started seeking out magazines in the one bookstore I was able to reach by bicycle on my own, and wished sometimes for more satisfaction in my episodes to match what I'd imagined from the teaser commercials in the week's lead-up.
Interestingly, my brother gave me the set on an external hard drive as a gift a few years ago, and I loved the show even more on rewatch, but for such different reasons! I'm Wil Wheaton's age, so I imprinted hard on his journey and loved that they had a medical woman for me to identify with. In my pre-teen years I became a shipper for a while (Capt. and Dr., please) but as a 30-something, I loved (LOVED, I SAY!) Data and Geordi's friendship, and felt strongly that the appearance of Whoopi Goldburg was guaranteed to add 40% more awesome to any storyline.
So, I guess the Blu-Ray's are being released soon? To drum up interest, the network is releasing limited versions of the blooper reels from each season. Mental Floss has links to each here. Oh, Worf.
