Yep, I'm a geek.
When I first came up with the "etc." area of my website, I had envisioned it as an interactive forum for listing my top five favorite books, CDs, movies, writing implements, etc. I even had worked out a couple of my Top Five LEAST Favorites, too. And I figured I'd have a spot where people could respond. But two things got in the way.

1. I haven't quite figured out the whole concept of a blog, guestbook, or anything with scripting in it that would allow a visitor to reply.

2. The whole idea of me listing my Top Five Favorite this or that, seems so, well...self-absorbed. For me, anyway. I do enjoy checking out other people's pages, and often find myself drawn to their lists of favorites. I do certainly keep those sorts of lists (I do have a little bit of a list compulsion), but in my own notebooks. If for some reason you want to know what my top five favorite whatevers are, email me.

With that said, I don't really have a Top Five Favorite Star Trek Episode List. Though, if there were an episode where Wesley Crusher dies, (and dies as permanently as Jadzia Dax died -- that is with NO future chance of being on the show, and the actor who plays him so pissed off that he won't even allow clips of himself used in flashback episodes) that would certainly be #1 on my list. And in invoking the names Crusher and Dax, I suppose it's apparent that I lean toward the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine shows, personally.

On the web, there are TONS of Star Trek pages. A lot of them really suck, but some of them are good too. One of my favorite sites -- Ian introduced me to this while we were working at MacWarehouse -- is Oak Mountain Software. They have downloadable databases of every single episode of Star Trek, ever. One thing I must mention is that these databases are for the Macintosh only. Personally, it worked out okay for me, but I can't help feeling badly (for more than this reason, of course) for all the PC users out there, who can't run these great programs on their computers. If you're a Star Trek fan, Oak Mountain Software's Star Trek Stacks are reason alone to have a Macintosh.
