I have inherited (you might say) a couple of big boxes full of Star Trek - The Next Generation (furthermore referred to as Star Trek TNG) tapes. I have been told it is the entire series. How great is that? Oh, and yes, I said 'tapes'. As in VHS. Remember those? Contrary to popular belief they are still in use by some people (the kind of people who still have cassette players in their minivans, and are lacking the ever popular satellite dish mounted to their roof).
I have been in possession of these for over a week now, but, have only managed to watch 40 minutes of the first episode. Not from lack of interest, just lack of watch time. I do find the first episode to be a strange choice. Introducing 'Q' right off the bat? Q is a rather far out idea, which I guess signals a break from the original series where it always seemed that Kirk and gang were always taking on beings in a more physical battle.
Well, back to the grind (of the physical tape moving over the VCR heads producing video images that show up on my TV screen).
