I can remember as a little girl, my brother and dad would love to watch the Star Trek movies and talk about the shows. I, being the annoying little shit that I was (am), chalked it up to stupid boy sci-fi stuff and went back to... whatever the hell I was interested in in those days. New Kids on the Block or something (but I can't really joke about that because I still like them, damnit).
It's a sad story to tell, but it wasn't until the 2009 reboot that I really started to get to know the characters and wanted to know more about where they came from. I piled through all that I could: books, comics, the original show, movies, fanfiction, Enterprise schematics, Klingon language tutorials, Vulcan anatomy websites (THOSE were interesting)...
I should now probably seek rehab.
(Note: since posting this video, I have decided to give TNG a second chance. It probably has everything to do with Wil Wheaton's book Just A Geek, but I'll never admit it.)
