Resistance is futile…
We like to think that we are on the cutting edge of the video revolution.
We are at a moment where, for the very first time, anyone can get access to the tools, and indeed the distribution platform that will allow anyone to make television and video.
We like to say that up until now, access to that medium has been for only a small elite.
Well, yesterday, one of those elite walked into the TCA class… as a student.
Garrett Wang, known to the television watching world as Ensign Kim aboard the Starship Voyager, is taking our course.
Of course, I know Garrett Wang from years of watching him on Star Trek.
My ex-wife was a mega fan. So much so that she asked me to get her the full uniform from the Star Trek store in Las Vegas. (Don’t ask).
Her all time favorite show was Star Trek Voyager.
Every night, (as the show was in syndication), we would get into bed and watch Voyager.
Every night.
(This could, of course, give some insight as to why the marriage did not work out).
Ensign Harry Kim, of course, was a graduate of The Academy.
That would be the Star Fleet Academy. Well, if all goes well, on Sunday, he will also be a graduate of The Travel Channel Academy.
Maybe he won’t be able to navigate a starship through the Delta Quadrant… but he’ll sure be able to make a video!
(And whatever happened to Jeri Ryan?)
