I'm Alan David Doane and I've been blogging mostly about comic books, but occasionally about Star Trek, since 2002. I actually started writing about comics in the late 1990s, but we didn't call it blogging then and my first official blog was sometime in 2002. Not that you care, so, moving on...
I started watching Star Trek when it was in animated form in the 1970s, having been born too early to have watched the original series in its first run, coincidentally the same year it debuted, 1966. The cartoon was my gateway to the afternoon reruns of the live action series, which was my favourite TV series then and probably remains so now. I've loved a lot of TV shows since Star Trek, from The Prisoner to The Sopranos to Twin Peaks to Mad Men and beyond, but Star Trek's original three-season run has always fascinated me. Forty years or so after seeing it for the first time, I still can really immerse myself in some of the best episodes, like City on the Edge of Forever, or Mirror, Mirror. On another blog I once listed my 25 favourite episodes, and I think over the next few weeks I'll be porting articles like that over to here, so that eventually all my Star Trek posts will be in one central place.
In addition to housing all my existing Star Trek articles, this blog will contain news and commentary on Star Trek in all its incarnations, and maybe occasionally related TV and movies as well. So whether you're new to my peculiar methods of blogging or a longtime reader, welcome, and thanks for checking this out. Oh, and live long and prosper.
