So I met up with Sunny (disclaimer: not actual name), my newest friend in Bergen, and after observing the mummies in the local museum (yup, still dead) we decided the best course of action was for her to show me some Star Trek, original series.
So hey, I've watched my first TOS episode! And my second! And my third!
I think there was some worry whether I would find the late sixties special effects distracting but, hahahaaaa. You know. This is what I usually have to deal with.
First impressions of TOS: Okay, okay, I can see how Kirk is sorta kinda Mister Awesomepants of the universe - Spock is possibly even more awesome, only in a completely different way. I'm glad I watched my first episode with some company, since that meant I could go "Oh thank God I thought it was only me" when she pointed out that Vulcan mind melds were hilariously sexual. Also, we could stop the DVD and discuss possible ways to crossbreed Vulcans and tribbles.
Anyway, I'm intrigued. I liked TOS, but I liked it on absolutely different premises than TNG. I enjoy the campness. Over time I might learn to be less annoyed with the set lighting.
