Organising my DVDs
I created some cards for my blu-ray/dvd wallets so I can move my Star Trek TNG Boxset over. Planning to do the same for all my Star Trek Boxset. I should get an entire shelf free on my bookshelf doing this. I might not chuck the packaging straight away incase I change my mind. I…

Star Trek TNG: Darmok
I have been continuing my rewatch of Star Trek The Next Generation and am now up to Season 5. I have found another episode called ‘Darmok’ that strongly related to my own challenges and experiences of Autism. This is a 14-part thread and please Boost if you enjoy reading. In this episode as described on…

Star Trek TNG: Tin Man
Today I continued rewatching Season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation by watching ‘Tin man’. This episode was aired on the 23rd April 1990. As an Autistic person I felt I could relate to the experiences of the three main characters of Tam, Data and Tin Man. This is a 15 part thread and…

Growing Up in Star Trek
I’ve been watching Star Trek since 1995 when I was 11. It became my #ActuallyAutistic special interest and still is today. From around that age I was considered a geek at school and not popular. I struggled to make any friends except other Star Trek fans. It’s fair to say a lot of my psychosocial…

Data in Star Trek
I’ve always admired Data and his relationship to Captain Picard. Rewatching Data I notice some of his challenges like his literal interpretation. I’ve often had a literal interpretation myself. His interest in researching most topics is very much me as well. He is the ultimate generalist. Learning more about philosophy with the historical context has…
