My Weekly Addiction


Star Trek: Voyager

Voyager was my first Star Trek love. I have a friend who is a Star Trek buff and after a great deal of persuasion she convinced me to give star trek a chance, well that was is I was hooked. Gotta say I'm thankful for her persistence, I should have trusted her in the first place after all she's responsible for a pretty high percentage of my TV addictions. Any-who I managed to watch the first season in just over a day and haven't looked back since. One of Voyager's greatest attributes has got to be it's strong female leads, having a female captain like Janeway definitely goes in its favour. Unlike most of my friends I view everything as a separate entity, I don't compare the books to the films, similarly I don't compare one star trek to another. However that's not to say I don't have a favourite because I do and it is inevitable that it would be anything but Voyager. I cant explain why, but I can tell you that with a cast with such great chemistry and unique setting, as far as I know there isn't another show that focuses entirely on a crew lost in space. Whatever its is it works with gusto.

Kick-Ass Women


Women Who Kick-Ass: Metaphorically and Literally

Okay so here's the thing, my addictive personality has had a long time affair with lists and women. So I've decided to combine the two, after all who am I to deny my mind that which it craves so intensely. But these women aren't just your ordinary people, these are my top nine kick-ass women, well characters really, but same difference. I know nine seems like a random number but I figured that this way you get to pick your number 10.

1. Catherine Willows (CSI)
2. Gemma Teller-Morrow (Sons Of Anarchy)
3. Kathryn Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager)
4. CJ Cregg (West Wing)
5. Callie Torres (Greys Anatomy)
6. Abbey Bartlet (West Wing)
7. Irena Derevko (Alias)
8. Helen Stewart (Bad Girls)
9. Kathrine Mayfair (Desperate Housewives)

Now I have my reasons for adoring these women. But that's a story for another day. For now I'm content just staring at their pictures and watching their shows.
