The following question was presented:
Well, we wish this year's Fish-O-Mania anglers well. The first of the qualifiers is this upcoming weekend and yet again, I failed to submit my entry basically allowing someone to simply take the title unchallenged ... I mean, they should have to face of against me, let's be honest. The trick would be to see if they could stop laughing long enough to actually catch anything. That said, I was thinking of entering this year, but health seems to be holding me back. All that said, it has nothing to do with this week's vote question. I just thought you'd like to know and I strive to provide an invaluable service of meaningless information. To this week's question - What was your favorite Star Trek series?

Analysis:
We seem to be hitting the lows of voters which doesn't surprise me. Let me think .... what could have caused that to happen? OK so TNG gets the vote over the original series. To be honest, it's really only going to be between those two. Maybe DS9 gets a look in with a few folks. We have to salute Kirk and the original series as it broke a lot of new ground, but I have to say, I'm somewhat of a TNG fan. Now, I often wonder what appreciators of art see in a picture as to me it's just a picture, but they talk about the mood of the artist and details of the brush work. I have to say with TNG, first time I watched it which would have been when it first aired, I was focused on Picard and the adventures of the Star Ship. Since then I've watched it several times and I can't help think the central character is Data and the whole thing about exploring strange new worlds is a ruse to take us away from the fact that it's an exploration of humanity through the eyes of an android. Then again, maybe I'm seeing something that's not there, but I do enjoy it. I also really like Guinan and think that it's the best thing Whoopie Goldberg has done. The whole thing really comes together well. Anyway, just my thoughts.
