Nerdiness is inherited, geekiness is learned.

Da and I go to a lot of movie together. It's a tradition that started right after his divorce from my mother. Sometimes, at least at the beginning, we pretended that the movie outings were commemorative or at least occasional: the first few X-men movies because they were released in theatres right around my birthday... the Lord of the Rings ( Read more... )

mundanities, joy, coceptualizing

I just hope she doesn't grow up to be a Voyager fan.....

Ouch. :-( Sad cowboy.

(And no, that's not all I took out of this. I agree with a great deal of it, but I love Voyager...)

Heheheheheh... no, I liked Voyager alright. I REALLY liked Deep Space Nine, which is a great deal more shameful. I was going to type: I hope she doesn't grow up to be an Enterprise fan, but that would have wounded Da once again: Enterprise is the one spin-off he enjoyed almost as much as the original, even with that horrible theme song.

So I switched it to Voyager.

I've not seen more than a handful of Enterprise (it's next on the Netflix queue, after we're done with Voyager). I tried like mad to get into DS-9, and while I can appreciate that it shows a different slice of Federation life, I couldn't stay with it. Although, I <3 Jeffrey Combs more than I can put to words. He was AMAZING as Weyoun, and I'm giddy happy that he was on Enterprise as that Andorian.

...why yes, I'm a bit of a Trek fan, why do you ask?

Ah, well: you see, for me, the DS9 attraction was Avery Brooks. My mother loves cheesy detective shows almost as much as my father and I love cheesy sci-fi and Libby loves being shocking; so I also watched a lot of Mike Hammer and (more importantly) Spencer for Hire along side the Doctor Who and Star Trek as a kid. I had the female equivalent of My First Boner over Hawk at a young age. So when I saw the same actor staring in (be still my beating heart!) a Star Trek spin-off, I couldn't look away.

So I understand. :-D

I thank the heavens every day that Yuna likes musicals. That's my girl.
