My inner 6 year-old is happy...

I dallied for a while with the Millennium Falcon, but when I first saw the E-D on screen, I knew I had finally found the spaceship-love of my life.

By far the most graceful, curvacious, duranium-clad vessel that ever sailed the heavens.

Amen, brother. Seeing NCC-1701 in TOS as a 4-year old whet my appetite. Seeing NCC-1701-D in TNG's 1987 premiere as 5 year-old sold me on Trek fandom forever. Seeing a saucer sep at Warp 9.8 just inspires one's imagination to run wild.

I never had any Trek toys as a kid. I wasn't interested in Star Trek at the time despite the fact that my dad was a huge fan. He built a model of the Enterprise-D and it's still in his office. I remember when he finished it many years ago... it had a detatchable saucer section as well and he demonstrated it to me, along with a reenactment of the crash scene in Generations. I wasn't too interested, but that's about the only time he ever explained something to me about Star Trek and I understood it.

And for years I could've sworn we had an Enterprise-D Christmas tree ornament, but last Christmas (my first Christmas after becoming a fan of Trek) I realized it was actually Voyager.

for those of you who don't have an ent d model, i urge you to get the corgi die cast. for it's price it's a good model. highly detailed and not too small and not too big so it can be displayed anywhere. bad thing is that it doesn't have a saucer detaching mechanism. still i'm quite happy i picked this up. i also picked up the johnny lighting ones. those are awesome.
