Good morning, all! I was awakened by an anxiety attack around 5:00 this morning. I tossed and turned for about 45 minutes, pondering the Ohio trip, my financial woes, and fretting about getting more sleep, Just before 6, I figured to hell with it and got out of bed.

It's another work at home day. I am overdrawn, i have no money and little food in the apartment until tomorrow's Social Security deposit so going nowhere - which is how I feel about my existence today - is my safest option.

Good morning, all.

A pretty decent sleep was had, all things considered. For which I am grateful. I so empathize with the kind of early awakening DR Elmore describes. I have too many of those myself.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #10 on:** September 15, 2015, 05:54:52 AM »

A lot of congratulations and good lucks and vibes of all kinds to send out to the DRs today.

TOD:

No.

For years I thought I was the only non-Star Trek person in these United States of America. Only lately have I discovered that is not necessarily the case.

I sometimes feel I missed something of the camaraderie and joy of discovery experienced by the followers of the series and the movies, and I even occasionally entertain the idea of starting it now and seeing how far I might go with it. Or just satisfy my curiosity about what I missed. But there are so many things to spend one's time on, and choices must be made...

Car expense vibes to DR vixmom, to DR John G. and to my own little self. This very morning I'll be finding out what today's work will amount to.

DR vixmom, I love those Cracker Barrel stops, too, but I also have a special fondness for sandwiches in the car. Have a GREAT trip and vacation!

I enjoyed the series, but not as much as the summer replacement series, like Bobby Darin's variety show. I remember the kiss between Kirk and Uhuru, which I thought was not worth any sort of controversy at the time. But little else.

Favorite movie: Wrath of Khan.

I completely missed STAR TREK and now i understand none of the slavish devotion to the series.

Tuesday morning greetings! Last night's AAUW potluck dinner was very nice and the 2015-16 year is off to a great start. I'd had a busy day, including a depressing visit with Mom, so I crashed early.

I was too young to see the original series when it first aired. But I did enjoy the re-runs. I was a very big fan of Star Trek The Next Generation. I also watched some episodes of Deep Space Nine, but didn't really get into it. The pilot episode of DSN was excellent. I saw most of the movies and enjoyed them too. My favorite was the 4th, The Voyage Home. There were a couple really good TNG episodes. One of favorites was the one where Captain Picard goes to a planet where the inhabitants speak English, but you can't understand what they're saying because they speak only in allegories. It was very cleverly written.
I've seen George Takei in a number of things and I like the way he's so great about making fun of himself. I saw him on an episode of "Third Rock From the Sun" where he was especially funny.

Ginny · « **Reply #22 on:** September 15, 2015, 07:47:41 AM »

TOD - I didn't become involved with Star Trek until Richard and Rob began bonding over it and I didn't want to be left out. Not so much the original series, but Next Generation, Voyager, and Enterprise (the theme of which was the "play out" music for Rob's Eagle Scout ceremony). My favorite movie is Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, because I like time slips and the California scenery.

I even accompanied Richard and Rob to a Star Trek convention in Cincinnati. We heard George Takei speak and Rob (age 12 or so) won an autographed 8x10 of Gates McFadden for answering trivia questions on stage.

Good morning.

TOD: My sister LOVED Star Trek. I didn't get it. My husband dragged me to the first movie, during which I fell asleep.

Congrats to DR GEORGE and DR SINGDAW on their millstones.

I wanted to like the original series, but I didn't watch many episodes....they all seemed the same to me.

Crew argues - ship encounters a world that mirrors an earth philosophy from the past....crew gets captured/mind altered/body shifted.....the end.

Like DR AMY and DR GINNY - I liked THE NEXT GENERATION much better, and I still watch it in reruns....the original not so much. I also liked TNG cast much better.

TOD: I did watch some of the original series when it aired. It was fascinating but I wasn't devoted to it. I caught all the episodes in re-runs many years later. Now I own the complete series on Blu ray disc!

Of the original timeline "Star Trek" movies, my favorite is "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" which I saw in a theater in Perth, Australia, on Christmas Eve 1986. I enjoy "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" despite it's being bloated and bit eccentric in design (sets and costumes). My second favorite movie, though, is "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan". VERY entertaining.

Of the alternate timeline "Star Trek" movies, I definitely love the first one the most, but both, thus far, have been very rewarding.

I very much enjoy "Star Trek: The Next Generation" TV series and have the first five seasons on Blu ray. Additionally, I'm very fond of "Star Trek: Voyager" but have none of those on DVD or Blu ray.

I do have the complete series on DVD for "Star Trek: Enterprise".

And I have all the "Star Trek" movies on Blu ray.

But I'm not slavish or anything.

JRand65: I can see you in a Star Trek episode. Of course, you'd probably be wearing a red shirt instead of a gold one. And you KNOW what that means!
