(There’s not a season of any of the series that I haven’t sampled.) But nothing has had the staying power of Voyager Season 4.
#STAR TREK VOYAGER SEASON 4 TV#
Excursions into Voyager and Enterprise soon followed - then both seasons of Discovery.Īll told, I’ve now seen roughly two-thirds of the Star Trek TV episodes, and I continue to fill in the gaps. Somewhere around the middle of Season 6, I decided to vary my diet and sample some of Deep Space Nine, starting with “Improbable Cause” once again, I continued uninterrupted for three seasons. There were actors and characters I liked more than others, and stories I liked far more than others, but nothing dampened my pleasure enough to drive me away. It didn’t take me long to figure out who was who, and if I realized I was missing out on some necessary backstory, the internet was there to bring me quickly up to date. I mentioned to a friend that I was going to check out some of the best-loved Next Generation episodes, and he replied, “Like ‘The Best of Both Worlds’?” I had no idea what that meant, but I located it at the end of Season 3, and began watching: the first installment in my “random sampling” of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Is there a better way to begin a journey into the Star Trek universe?Īfter viewing “Cause and Effect,” I wanted to see more. Was my set malfunctioning - or was this a function of the plot? I hit “info,” and was informed that this was a fifth season offering called “Cause and Effect.” The next day, I located Star Trek: The Next Generation on Netflix and watched the episode. That was what I knew of Star Trek: it was a great dog sitter.īut one day, as I was walking in and out of the living room, I kept seeing the same scene replay, as if the TV had somehow gotten stuck - or was buffering improperly. The little we knew of The Next Generation suggested that there’d be a steady stream of chatter and background music that would block out the street noise, and that it was unlikely to contain any of the sounds (thunderclaps, gunshots, fireworks) that tended to frighten him.
At that time, BBC America typically ran eight-hour marathons of The Next Generation on weekdays, and after breakfast, my customary routine was to turn the living room TV to BBC America and hit “mute.” My husband and I - who work from home - knew that if we had to run errands suddenly, we could simply unmute the TV, and the puppy would be well cared for while we were gone.
I’d never seen an episode of Star Trek - in any of its incarnations - before last spring.
