I came for the models, because I build and paint them, and I prefer practical effects to CGI. But it looks like I may stay for the writing, and your analysis of the show and episodes. I’m getting interested in the vagaries of production, though at my age I will probably never use the information. I already have far too ambitious a reading list, but your project seems to have a powerful tractor beam.

I absolutely adored the original Trek, and was a young adult when TNG launched. I was excited about the new show, and was extremely disappointed with it, because I was a devotee of the Kirk Spock McCoy triumvirate and therefore I struggled to see it on it’s own merits. But I also thought it was heresy to have three command chairs instead of one. I still do. (I have some military experience.) The crew member wearing the skirt distracted me to tears and laughter. Anyway, it took me some time before I saw the show as worthy of my time.
