I am a scifi fangirl!
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles starts again tomorrow night! And so the scifi fangirl in me is watching the first season again!
I have been a scifi fangirl since the first Star Trek series, back then it was okay to think William Shatner was hot. 
Back then, it was a groundbreaking show, women in miniskirts as a normal everyday thing! An interracial kiss!!!! Tribbles! I seriously wanted a tribble back then and come to think of it, I still want one!
The later series got a bit tamer, as I occasionally catch a Star Trek TNG ep these days, I realize how thinky it was, how much everything wrapped up in neat little bows with a good little utopian ending. The Borg brought in good conflict and then the war with the Founders in Star Trek DS9 attempted to display the realities of war but it never quite worked for me. By then, I’d seen space wars in the first Star Wars trilogy and movies like Alien, Independence Day and Terminator.
Star Trek Enterprise took a step back in time, before the first Star Trek series and that held promise, all the newness of space, all the aliens new again and not friendly, no Federation to make everyone all chummy, but again, a bit too much with the thinky-ness and too much foreshadowing of the other series. I am interested in the new Star Trek movie tho, set in the academy with the original series’ characters just starting out. It could be good, could be bad tho, I can’t remember if it’s an odd number or even number…
