Journaling:
Late 1970s - 1989 ~ I have vivid memories of my Dad being ready for church on Sunday mornings. All his girls would be running around getting ready and eating breakfast and he'd be watching TV. Lost in Space and Star Trek The Original Series.
After I got married in 1992 and while I was still in college Dad would tape Star Trek The Next Generation for me. In the spring of 1993 he had an episode for me. The Best of Both Worlds Part 1. he did not tell me it was a cliff hanger. When it got to the end and Jean-Luc Picard looked at the camera and said "I am Locutus of Borg" I went nuts. To be continued was the worst thing you could see back then. He laughed and laughed. I was at his house for the premiere of Season 4.
1993- 2019 ~ Over the years I have been to see and collected all the available Next Generation movies and I love the re-boot. With the advent of streaming I am able to indulge my love without loading up my house with physical tapes or disks.
December 2019 & January 2020 ~ Rewatched key episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation and Star Trek Voyager. I also watched four movies. First Contact. Insurrection. Nemesis. the Star Trek (2009) re-boot.
January 23 2020 ~ Picard premiers on CBS All Access. I am ready. I am very excited about the continuation of Jean-Luc's story. I have re-watched the previews a silly number of times. I dislike having to subscribe to another streaming service. I think this one will be worth it in the long run.

      This is soooo cool!! I love that this is not only a timeline of the show/series but also a personal story of the connection between your love of Star Trek and your dad. I also love the clean lines of this spread... absolutely perfect! Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge!

      TV series, like Star Trek, have the amazing ability, to cross the generations and bring families together. I love the way you have documented, your and your dad’s shared love of the series in the form of a time-line spanning 40+ years, and how this includes changes in your relationship (as you grew up and moved away from home) and changes in technology (tapes to streaming services).
