Dave McGuire wrote: My mother used to work with someone who had the entire run of every series of Star Trek. On VHS. That really WAS a wall full of tapes. I seem to recall she had signed posters of some of the TNG characters... I got into it because of someone at work... "You do realise that's not going to work..." "Alright, Sheldon." "Huh? Why did you just call me Sheldon?" "Oh, you don't watch Big Bang Theory? First episode was on Channel 4 last night, it's repeated tonight. Watch it, you'll love it!" And I did... :) Stargate went along similar lines -- a friend let me borrow the first season of SG1, then I bought the entire series on DVD. Atlantis I downloaded off of EZTV, then bought the box-sets again. Unfortunately once you really get into Firefly, the series ends :-/ I've got a few of the comic books as well ("Those Left Behind") but it'd still be nice to have a second season. Though we all know FOX won't let that happen, because it could be taken as an admission that they were stupid to cancel it (which they were)... :) I've been renting Deep Space Nine from Lovefilm. That's fun to watch on occasion... Can't say I'm much of a Trekkie, though. I don't have any of it on DVD and I most certainly don't go to any of the conventions... There is a (subtle?) crossover between Big Bang Theory and TNG too, watch out for it. It's Sheldon related and turns up (IIRC) towards the end of the third season :) -- Phil. classiccmp at philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/
