I haven’t watched much TNG since middle school until very recently and so reading your blog and Wil’s book (as well as listing to his podcast) has made watching the show just that much more entertaining. Thank you.

Anyhoo, another option aside from reviewing the episodes and blogging them now would be to write up your reviews and save them for when Memories of the Future, Vol 2 is published. It’s the best of both worlds: You can post your review side-by-side with Wil Wheaton’s and your take on the episodes is still your initial response.

Just a thought. And thanks again for the blog; it fills my heart with the happy. :)

I turned 8 the year Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back premiered. I’m old enough to remember seeing it in the theater, but not quite so old that I remember anything but the look of it. I have no memory of my initial reaction to the storyline or the theme or the characters. There has never been a time when I didn’t know that (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Darth Vader was Luke’s father. I’ve always wondered how I would have viewed those films had I first seen them as an adult, whether I would have thought them brilliant or cheesy. Empire will always be good to me, but is this because it’s good, or because it was good when I was 8?

I have a similar feeling about Star Trek: The Next Generation. I was too young to really evaluate it as it premiered, and so I never really got to see it through fresh eyes. I thought certain things were really cool which I now suspect I would take as the epitomy of self-indulgent geekiness, but because I thought they were cool once, I’ll always think them cool.

That’s why I enjoy reading your reviews. You’re watching the show as an adult uncolored by a childhood’s addiction and decades of minutia. You can evaluate it in an unbiased way I never can. And so, for that very selfish reason, I vote you continue. I’m sure Wheaton will understand.

And sorry, Jessiqa, but Christina won’t find the Best of Both Worlds until the end of season 3.

I say keep posting your reviews. I’m having a great time reading your thoughts of the episodes as you watch them, and I’m horribly impatient and don’t want to have to spread out my enjoyment for years! Keep watching and blogging about it!

Please continue with your reviews! It is so nice to see these episodes through virgin eyes, and I’ve been really enjoying your posts. I hope you’ll keep going!

Its not so much that you annoyed your friends and family. It was more of a strange jealousness that my celebrity childhood crush knew who you were. Because, let’s face it, childhood celebrity crushes don’t know who you are unless you happen to be Katie Holmes who somehow ended up married to Tom Cruise.

I agree! Please keep going, I’m really enjoying your posts! =)

Well, from some random person you don’t know (the internet is truly a strange place) I’ve enjoyed these posts tremendously and actually find myself looking forward to them. I was 12 when they started (ah, dating myself) and watched them on and off throughout the 7 years until I was 19. Each time you write about one I’m able to pull up details and reactions I had to them and it’s great to here that these shows still carry some of the weight they did when I was younger.

Anyway, I’ll add my voice to the “keep going” chorus. After all, I want to see what you thought of the Binars (I think I’m remembering that right). :P

lol, just reread that… I was 12 when the show started, not the posts.

I also say continue the reviews! I came to your blog only when Wil linked your initial article – and I really like what you’re doing here!

Greetings from Germany!

Please please PLEASE continue the reviews! I was twelve when the series originally began its run – and I will freely and without regret state that I only started watching the show because I had a crush on Wil Wheaton. 35-year-old me now enjoys watching reruns on MeTV in the Chicagoland market. I love hearing what you think about the series as you go through it for the first time, while I’m watching episodes for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or the who-the-heck-knows time.

Please keep going. I’ve enjoyed reading them very much.

I too found you through Wil but will be sticking around because you are a reviewer of books and into Swing and Lindy (AWESOMENESS)

Yes, keep going! With the new Star Trek movie this past year, I’ve gotten to enjoy seeing some of my friends see Star Trek for the first time, and it’s a surprising fun thing to see. The Amnesia of the Future series is just like that, and it would be nice to keep reading someone’s first impressions on each episode of such a landmark sci-fi series.

WOW! I am sooooo glad all of you have enjoyed the project! I received a few emails and twitter notes as well and have decided that there is a definite need to keep going.

I’m going to take a short break – about a week – and will set-up a new site just for Star Trek reviewing. A suggestion was made that as we are on hold with Memories of the Future, Vol 2 – I should take a break from TNG and start with the original series, maybe by the time I get through that Vol 2 will be available again and I can review the episodes and chapters in tandem again.

And also, a BIG thanks to all of you who have helped to educate me and have sent me photos and links. You should all know that a comment was made about red shirts recently any my first thought was that someone was going to die. Guess I really am turning into a Trekkie!

I have very much enjoyed these posts. I was 9 when TNG premiered, but didn’t start watching it until the early 90s and we were living in the States again. No looking back after that point though. (I may even have bought a novelization or twenty, the shame, the horror.)

I have ordered Wil Wheaton’s book for Mr Lush for Christmas–and only partly because *I* desperately want to read it! :D

Hehe. It’s okay, Christina, you can totally stalk Wil. The guy’s got about 26 billion followers on Twitter for Pete’s sakes. I follow the poor bastard all over the net and piss in his corn flakes every chance I get. But that’s just me. I have my reputation as Annoying Chick from Philly™ to uphold, after all. In about five and a half years, he’s only yelled (and by yelling, I mean that he’s threatened me with his “Dad Voice”) at me maybe about three or four times and meant it maybe once, and trust me when I say that I totally deserved it the time that he actually yelled at me. He’s actually a really nice guy.

I would say to keep on writing your reviews because of how much I’ve enjoyed them, but part of the enjoyment came from your critiques of his critiques because you can outsnark him with professional courtesy as your excuse. You have plenty of other worthy content to read on here, so if the rest of us have to suffer while we wait for Vol. 2 to come out, we can suffer along with you. And for your Amnesia of the Future segments.
