Thanks for the promotion! Permission to come aboard, captain?
Star Trek TNG is my favorite show of all time and I look forward to WAM TNG every week. I think I started reading somewhere in late season 2 or early season 3. I need to go back and read from the beginning. I'm sure there was a lot of fun on the production side in seasons 1 and 2.
Your last name reminded me of Kelsey Grammar's character from Cause and Effect, who's name I thought was Bateman but is actually Bateson so I guess there's no family connection. I wonder which was named first, the captain Bateson or the ship, USS Bozeman.
I am admiring the extra pip in my imagination even now.
