I have manged to make it another 40 minutes into the first episode (which appears to be an extended showing, hurrah!) I’m finding my memories of watching Star Trek TNG the first time around are drastically different now, 20 years later. Being a young impressionable kid at the time of the original airings I think I would have believed anything…and also relished the cheesey story lines. Maybe it is just this first episode, overemphasizing the connections between people, treating us viewers like ignorant braindeads who cannot follow subtle story lines? Oh well, from what I can remember the show gets much better.
I’ve also noticed a few great things about VHS tapes. One, you can fast forward through the FBI warning. With DVD all you get is the red X.
Also, I’m saving the planet. By reusing all of these tapes I’m stopping about 10 pounds of plastic (and probably other countless chemicals in the actual tape) and saving 8 cubic feet of garbage. Hopefully I will find another TNG fan with a VCR whom I can pass these onto when I’m done. Pay it forward, right?
