Although we all knew it was coming ... the last true (fictional) engineer has beamed himself out. When I came to the US, Brainy got me hopelessly hooked on the original show. Didn't care too much for the relaunches and the remakes.

Ya know, I've got a red shirt around here somewhere...

Next Gen wasn't bad. They actually used the made-up Klingon language that some guy created for the movies, and had a few other languages created for them too, so the show is pretty cool by -my- standards.

Farewell, Jimmy.... you will be missed.

I'm going to go dig out my original series tapes now. Haroun, if you'd like to borrow any, you're welcome to.

Borrow them?

I think that for an occasion like this the only thing that will do is a viewing party.

Got time to watch the entire run?

Salaam,
Haroun
