Becca:

Now that big chunks of each series (like a year or more of episodes) are now available on DVDs, you can go back and watch them all in order more easily than ever before.

Twitter as the Borg – I love it, George!

I liked ‘She’s breaking up …’ – a reminder not to overextend ourselves, perhaps?

Sharon,

Oh well. I guess I had to be forced out of the trekkie closet sooner or later.

Very inventive analogy here.

I do have to add one other:

“We are Twitter. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”

Hehe.

Hi Becca, I know what you mean: there are a LOT of Star Trek episodes and it’s a daunting task. It’s amazing what you can get lessons from, like your ‘Dog Train Your Writing’ Series.

These are some fantastic writing lessons. It’s interesting to take what other elements of our lives offer and apply it to writing.

If I’m honest I’ve never seen an entire episode of Star Trek. For years I’ve thought, “I really should start watching that,” but I’m the kind of viewer who likes to start at the beginning. That would mean going back a LONG way to watch all of the original Star Trek before digging into what the merchandise has done more recently.

Of course with lessons like these, and I’m sure many others, I will have to make sure I get started now. I wouldn’t want another ten years of ‘shoulds’ getting in the way.

So, you’re a Trekkie.
Fascinating.

Scotty reminds us when the work is done:
“I canna give her any more, Cap’n!”

Cheers,

Mitch
