[Thor Joachim Haga]

It just had the advantage of being there in abundance when there was no other food for my scify hunger. But to stay in the metaphore in a way I watched it for the nutrients, not for the joy.

That’s a very precise description, and something I can very much relate to. Some friends and I made it a mission to rent and watch all the STAR TREK films that were available on VHS in the 90s. And then I did watch THE NEXT GENERATION semi-regularly when it was on Norwegian TV, early Saturday afternoons. Because it was basically only that and BABYLON 5 available to me (I connected to the latter far more). But mostly, it stayed in the outer rim of my awareness. A few years ago, I made my first forray into the original series too, but nothing that struck a chord, I’m afraid.

Music-wise, I have all the feature film scores (excluding the new Giacchinos, of course), most on CD, some only on digital because I’ve traded off the CDs. And that BEST OF STAR TREK CD featuring music from the TV shows. Plus some odd’n’ends, like the SYMPHONIC STAR TREK CD by Kunzel & co. (once owned on CD, now only as files).
