#Introduction, second of many.

I love #StarTrek . I used to be able to say that I've seen and know very well most of Star Trek, but there's so much Star Trek now that I'm not sure that's true anymore. Currently early in season 4 of #Discovery. Have seen S1-2 and all movies of #TOS, 1.5 episodes of #TAS, all of #TNG, all of #DS9, all of #VOY, S1-3 of #ENT, movies 1-2 of #Kelvin, S1-3 of #DIS, S1-2 of #PIC, 1 episode of #LD, Pts. 1 and 2 of #PRO.
