It really does bring me happiness. My grandfather passed away last year. One of the things we bonded over was Trek (however he wouldn’t call himself a Trekkie; he introduced me to others as a Trekkie). At the age of ten, I was old enough to watch an entire series from start to finish on first broadcast and that was ENT. I still remember how excited he was for “Broken Bow”, telling me it was going to be set before the time of Kirk. We watched every episode together. Before he passed, I took time to sit by his bedside and watch season 1 with him, albeit unknown if he understood what was happening around him. Episodes like “The Visitor” and “Horizon” bring on intense sorrow now but I still find happiness overall.
