In which Chris will watch every Star Trek TV show, movie, etc. in chronological order (as in, the in-universe timeline order).
So:
Enterprise (I’m currently here).
Star Trek TOS
Star Trek Animated Series
Star Trek TOS Movies 1-6
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek DS9
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek TNG movies
Star Trek XI
There are some problems, of course. Some of the movies (Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact) involve Time Travel, so the actual order could be a little weird. For instance, a lot of Star Trek: Generations could come before TNG. Or the last 2/3 of First Contact could be before Enterprise.
My friends think I’m insane for even thinking about doing this.
So I went to Book Thing of Baltimore on Saturday to pick up some free books. Here’s what I grabbed, starting from the top and moving on down:
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (Because I was never going to pay for a copy, and making sure some poor college student doesn’t end up losing a few years to Objectivism is almost a public service)
The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama
The Godfather by Mario Puzo (I had to fight my friend Ben to keep this book).
The Gripping Hand by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (Sequel to the amazing book The Mote in God’s Eye).
Confessions of a Tax Collector by Richard Yancey
The American Way in Taxation by Lillian Doris (I actually could have used this book last semester to write my cap gains paper but whatever)
Maestro by Bob Woodward (It’s the story of Alan Greenspan. What’s not to love)
Which side are we on? We’re on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.
Saul Tight, my favorite line of dialog in the entire series. His other line that is particularly badass is:
My name is Saul Tigh. I’m an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that’s the man I want to be. And if I die today, that’s the man I’ll be.
