A group of sci-fi geeks have penned an inpromptu dirge for the Star Trek franchise, and the genre in general, in this mefi thread about the demise of Star Trek: Enterprise. A good read in general for any fanboy/girl or -er/-ie, but the bonus is concrete proof that I’m not the only one who harbors a secret love for Deep Space Nine over the other series.

I’ve been following mefi again lately, and am realizing threads like that one are the entire reason for sticking your head under the torrent of linkage and discussion mefi has become. Still, the overarching “it’s-not-the-same”ness keeps me from diving into the threads too often.

I don’t know if being nostalgic for a web site is the type of wierd to sew a new patch on you freak flag for, or the type of wierd to be deeply, deeply ashamed of.
