We join the project in progress.
I have taken advantage of Netflix Streaming to begin showing my fangirl 11-year-old girl, Kate, Star Trek.
We started with Enterprise. We have seen them all in order and liked them. I’ve always thought Enterprise was cool, actually. She dug it.
We finished the original series last weekend. Kate was big on the GalaxyQuest quotes.
“I see you managed to get your shirt off.”
“Does the rolling help?”
And so forth.
Now…Next Generation. And, God help me, The Giant Space Jellyfish that holds hands.
She’s now seen it. She even participated in the drinking game. Every time Troi cries out an emotion and overacts she took a hit of ginger ale.
Oy.
We’re sailing through NextGen at Warp Factor 1987, Captain! Further updates as events warrant.
What? How do YOU bond with your adolescent children?
Watching “Big Bang Theory,” “Fawlty Towers,” quoting “Holy Grail” and listening to Weird Al.
All of the above, Doctor Who and science programmes.
She turn 13 in a few weeks, she plans to join the Dope.
And really bad punny jokes.
I just turned over my collection of classic MAD books to my 7 year old son.
I’m watching the spiderman cartoons with my 5 year old. The writing goes waaaay down after the first coupel of seasons. We just saw the one where Peter revealed his secret identity to MJ and fought the lizard people in the sewers, mutated because anything Doc Connors flushed down the sink hits the sewers…
Honestly, for all people seem to like BBT I found it disappointing and pointless. It’s every other sitcom I’ve seen (complete with the junior high-level sex humor) but with the tension centered on smart-guy dumb-girl. Nothing works for me there.
Still she’s coming along fine so far. She’s learned to do some deconstruction of story types already. Smart kids are fun.
Oh My God NexGen starts with some clunkers.
Africans kidnapping Yar
Drunk wesley
Magic Wesley and the traveller
Ferengi and laser whips
Oy.
