I'm pleased to announce that I now have my wife completely hooked on Strange New Worlds! Not long after we met I got her started on DS9 and then TOS, which she enjoyed, but the other shows we tried didn't really catch her attention nearly as much. Because of that I normally watch everything else but those two on my own.

Last week while she was away for the evening I was rewatching a few episodes in our living room instead of my office, and she got home right as the holodeck episode started. She got a laugh out of the TOS homage and was interested enough to keep watching, at which point I suggested watching the first episode. At a little less than a week later we've already gotten to the first episode of season 3! She especially likes Uhura, La'an, and Spock so far. It's been a lot of fun getting to rewatch the show and seeing someone else's perspective on it!

It's nice hearing the show is getting new fans. I think that someone (might have been Jonathan Frakes) said that the Trek fans still skew older despite attempts by the new shows (Prodigy, SNW etc.) to bring in new younger fans.
