I realise I'm known as a bit of a geek, and that my love of Sci-Fi may possibly make me seem somewhat odd. And while I've always been a fan of Star Trek, especially The Next Generation, I didn't really get into the later spin-offs. I tried with DS9, but couldn't get to grips with a stationary story line - it was almost as if they'd copied Babylon 5. Almost. And with a better budget, so it probably doesn't look quite so 80's dated right now. I wouldn't know, I couldn't get into it. I never even gave Enterprise a chance, because I had other things on my mind when it came out. Babies and stuff. But I did rather enjoy Voyager - this may have had something to do with being one of the very few people on the planet who didn't find Janeway annoying. I liked her - she was spunky!
But it would appear that I didn't get into Voyager quite as well as I'd thought, because I've just discovered, while browsing through my Radio Times (no, I never did send that letter off) that there's a character called Annorax in it!
Oh, come on! You can not be serious! You've called a character Annorax, and you expect me not to laugh!
You know what I think? I think it's an hommage to all the fans over the years, without whom Star Trek would have been nothing.
