Hello.
I'm Articulate Madness. And I'm a Trekkie.
Right now I'm stateside (yeah, I know) in America right now, plotting my escape to freedom, but in the meantime, I keep up with my Trekkyistas. Shout out to all the Star Trek fans across the universes (except you Abrams cult followers - THOSE MOVIES ARE FIGMENTS OF YOUR IMAGINATION AND DO NOT EXIST). Roddenberry or die.
I started this thread because I'm tickled. BBC America right now is the ONLY channel that shows Star Trek anything. Mostly TNG, but I catch some originals, and definitely some DS9. Our sci fi network is stuck on horror, mostly vampires and zombies, and has pushed away from great original programming and classics and went that way. Every now and again I get some Twilight Zone at 3:30 am (And I'm just absolutely a junkie on some TZ). Maybe, if there isn't a vampire hunter original they want to show.
Where do you guys get your Trekkie fix on network. I have all the films, but haven't gotten the box sets so for the original episodes, its BBC or bust.
My favorite Star Trek sect is Star Trek TNG, and my favorite episodes are the one where Beverly Crusher went back home and was falling in love with this entity that had turned out every woman in her family for generations, Wesley Crusher coming into his own as a Q like entity, and the ones with Deanna Troi's mother being absolutely a Betazoid. I'm one of the few Trekkies that really thought the Borg saga was just beat like a dead horse.
Side note: Ironically, its hard as hell to catch any good classic British comedies on BBC America. And I admit, I'm not really caught up like I should be. I'm up on Father Ted, Benny Hill, Python, Fawlty Towers, and Mrs. Browns Boys - shame on me. I'm not a big Doctor Who fan (but my significant other is and from a country 3 over from you, lol). BBC America has just ran Footballer Wives in the ground and that isn't my cup of tea anyway.
