So. While on vacation, I watched a lot of the TNG with my mom. Which caused me to realize, again, that I have actually not seen a lot of TNG. I always think that I have, because my parents watched a lot of it when it was on for the first time and because it's essentially been around for as long as I've been alive and got replayed a lot, but literally every episode I watched on vacation was one that I couldn't remember having seen before.

So when we got home, I started watching some more TNG on my own. And it's totally fun and I love Star Trek and I have a whole lot of Trek novels that I downloaded a while ago, so I put a bunch of TNG books on my kindle. As well as a few random other things that looked interesting: some Mirror universe stuff, the first novels of a couple spin-off series, the first couple books of the DS9 relaunch.

You can see where this is going, right?

I did read a TNG novel! I totally did! And then I started reading Avatar and oh, Kira, hi, I love you, Kira! DS9 is the Trek of my heart*, y'know? I like other Star Treks - they are lovely - but they lead inevitably back to DS9.

I think I was somewhere in season five the last time I was watching. I should pick that up again.





*Which is really the problem that I have getting my mom to watch it. Because TNG is the Trek of her heart, so when we watch DS9 she is always thinking, "Well, this is lovely, but why are we not watching my show?"
