Yesterday I watched All Good Things..., the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  I kept tearing up.  I didn't even like the series very much when I first started watching the first season, but now I find myself rather attached to all the characters.  I'll miss them.

Today I read "Goodbye to Berlin" by Christopher Isherwood and loved it.  It left me in a nostalgic, melancholy mood which I managed to combat by cleaning and rearranging my bookshelf.

"Berlin is a skeleton which aches in the cold: it is my own skeleton aching.  I feel in my bones the sharp ache of the frost in the girders of the overhead railway, in the iron-work of balconies, in the bridges, tramlines, lamp-standards, latrines.  The iron throbs and shrinks, the stone of the bricks ache dully, the plaster is numb."

Emo Lish is emo today. :/

Meeting with Teh Boss went pretty well. I typed out a whole paragraph about it but deleted it because it was boring.

Battlestar Galactica is boring me, for some reason. I keep trying to watch the next episode but end up tuning out and doing something else before it even gets past the opening credits. I'm gonna take a break from it and watch some Trek.

Man, I can't believe it's only week 2. I'm already exhausted. *sigh*

Oh man.  I just watched "Endgame", the last episode of Star Trek Voyager.  I've put off watching it for several years, because I couldn't bear for it to end.  But tonight, I thought it was time.

The whole Seven/Chakotay relationship thing was completely unexpected and stupid.  There'd been nothing leading up to it, and they had no chemistry whatsoever.  (Although, Chakotay has about as much chemistry with anyone as a tree.)  Every time they were on-screen, I mentally replaced Chakotay with B'Elanna, which was actually surprisingly easy to do.  Must be from all the T/7 fics I read over the years.  :-D

I was also surprised by the crazy amount of J/7 subtext, like Admiral Janeway's face when she sees Seven after all those years.  The way she went all still, and said "Seven", with her voice all husky.  Hell, it seemed like her whole motivation for going back in time was so she could save Seven.  But the big one was when she's begging Seven to try and change Captain Janeway's mind, and her tone of voice when she's staring up into Seven's face, imploring her to think about "the people who love you."  And Seven, who had been looking away before, suddenly turns to look at her.  Srsly.  Holy batman subtext moment right there.

Some favorite moments:
- Admiral Janeway's reaction when Seven first steps into the room.
- The look on Captain Janeway's face when Admiral Janeway tells her that she gave up coffee.  Lulz.
- The Admiral Janeway/Seven scene in Astrometrics.
- Any and all battle of wills between Admiral Janeway and Captain Janeway.
- Voyager exploding out of the Borg sphere in a blaze of glory.

But ZOMG the ending is SO UNSATISFYING.  I need like... post-Endgame fic.  Right now.  >.<
