The Beginning of the End

I was still partway through season 7 when I dropped off watching the show. I got busy, life happened, and it’s not nearly as fun watching alone. But then one day my kid was getting restless and I figured, it’s a good show, maybe this will distract her.

It didn’t work as well as I’d hoped (but she did stop running around for all the songs that played). But I was distracted. I’d forgotten how much I loved this show. Ended up binging the whole 8th season in two days.

And now season 9 has started, and it’s the last season. I’m a little sad. I know it’s part of the circle of life and all, but this has been part of my life for what feels like forever. It’ll be strange to know it’s over. But I guess it’ll never really be over. I mean, Star Trek is still kicking, and that first came out in 1966. And I’ve got a ton of stories on my read later list, and my google drive is full of story ideas that, at my writing pace, should last me for the rest of my life .

When I first decided to watch the show, I was in bed on my tablet when I should have been asleep. Figured I’d watch one, see what the fuss was all about. Ended up watching three episodes that night. And when I watched the season 9 premiere, I did the same thing. So I guess it’s all coming full circle.

And the best part about circles is there’s no end.
