Title: Greetings fellow Trek and sci fi fans!
Post by: The IC on February 02, 2007, 12:05:59 PM
Allow me to introduce myself. 

My name is Mark, I am married with no kids, and I live in Madison, WI

I am a long time listener, first time poster, and I would rate the Trek series in this order:

1) TNG
2) TOS
3) DS9
4) Tie Voy-Ent

I am a QA Engineer at a web software firm, and spend a lot time during my workday listening to a wide variety of podcasts while performing my job.   I became a Star Trek fan watching TNG through junior high school, high school and college.  I met two of my best friends while watching a TOS marathon at college during my freshman year.  I love most sci fi, and have recently gotten into Farscape (we watch it every Wed at work).

I discovered Treks in Sci Fi in December, and listened to all of the archived episodes over the course of 3 weeks.  I must say that I absolutely love this podcast.  Rico  does a great job, and I am glad that he does it.

See you all on the forums.

Wow.. I don't know how you do one episode per week.. I would get started and would watch four or five episode in one sitting.

The two-part episodes are hard to watch once per week.  We just finished Firefly on Tuesdays, and replaced it with Futurama.  We watch Scrubs on Thursdays.

I work with a pretty geeky group, and we are thinking ahead to Septemberish when Farscape ends.  I proposed TOS or TNG.  I'm sure we'll have a meeting about it.  ;D

I love working here.
