    Up until that point my exposure to science fiction had been minimal, limited to France's national treasure, Jules Verne, and playground echoes of Star Wars. Star Trek: The Original Series was not shown on French TV, and besides we did not have TV at home (another one of my parents' anti-imperialist decrees).

    My parents were not exactly thrilled. To them anything that began with “Star” was bound to be super violent Yankee crap. That is why they had denied me the chance to go see Star Wars back when I was five. And they still had to be convinced for Star Trek.

    Are you punking the reader??? I watched STAR TREK from before I was too young to understand it. I watched it when I was almost too young to remember it!!! My mother did not have a problem with it. I don’t think she understood it herself. I asked her why Spock had pointed ears. She replied, “Those are putty.” That did NOT answer my question.
