    Rambling old person storytime, consider yourself warned:

    My wife is from Hungary, and grew up while it was still communist so there’s many TV shows she’s never seen.

    When we were first together I introduced her to Star Trek, which she’d never heard of, and we got into the routine of watching one or two episodes of TNG every week.

    Fast-forward 9 years and we’d watched every Trek we wanted to, and were at a loose end on how to continue. My first thought was Babylon 5, but after Trek that first season appeared rough as anything, and it became more of a time-filler than actual enjoyment.

    A little while ago we hit the third season, and my goodness, it’s still rough, but the whole thing came together into something properly enjoyable!

    Me and my wife just hit our 10 year anniversary, and we’re both happily Trekkies together :-)
