Ten Forward Lounge - Miscellaneous General Chat & Welcome Thread

People were talking about their gateway drug Trek show and I have to say the it doesnt look it but Lower Decks is a surprisingly accessible show to start Trek with.
Technically mine wasn't a show although it ended with my watching TOS (and eventually most of the other series). My mom showed me TVH when I was 16 and I never looked back.
 
I grew up watching TOS every Saturday. Endlessly on repeats.
I never got tired of it.
Every week was like a new adventure, even though I had seen each episode hundreds of times ( and yes, I do mean literally hundreds of times).

That's how I feel right now with SNW (although I'm probably biased oops).
 
I had a casual relationship with TOS, though enough to hook me, I guess. I wouldn't have called myself a "fan."

TNG came out when my fraternity was doing a Rush Party. I sat with some of my brothers and a couple pledges watching Q put humanity on trial. That was my gateway show.

I grew up watch the reruns of TOS.

I tried watching TNG (I couldn't get into it. Picard struck me as bloviating.)

Voyager was MY gateway show (Seven of Nine is my favorite Star Trek character. When she first appeared, I thought, "Finally! Someone who behaves like me!")

My mom and my boyfriend did, too. The former would race home after school and watch and the latter would come home after work or whatever and catch it later at night.
 
A good friend of mine (who is now an Episcopal priest) calls her "Seven of 44D." It's a loving reference. Voyager was her favorite show.

Jeri Ryan wore a catsuit (that was padded to Hell and back) and corset for four seasons.

When she needed to go to the bathroom, she had her own radio code on the Voyager set ("Code Jeri Twenty").
 
Somehow I had forgotten that TrekBBS *exits.

*I think he meant exists.
It’s an easy typo to make
Seriously, there are exits to the front and rear of the BBS in case of emergency ;)


Nuns on the run
Austrian nuns Sister Rita, Sister Bernadette and Sister Regina broke out of their Catholic retirement home where they were placed and returned to their old convent.
"I have been obedient all my life, but it was too much," Sister Bernadette told the BBC of her decision to leave the retirement home.

Good for them :angel:
 
Google has it in for me, I swear.

Last night I was trying to find out if Anson likes cats (spoiler: no, he's a dog person) but one of the suggestions was 'does anson mount sink?'

I suppose that's better'n the thing about whether he's got teeth or not, though. :lol:
 
Just watched one of my favorite TNG episodes. Made me wonder, again, what a "low-mileage pit woofie" is. But, it's funny enough not really knowing.

Fun to recognize Mark Alaimo as the Romulan, though. Haven't seen the episode in a long time. I heard a line and thought, "that's Gul Dukat!"
