I'm watching Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time--boldly go with me to look at each episode through a feminist lens!

Welcome Aboard!
Hello, and welcome to Feminism Aboard TNG'S Enterprise!
What's This Blog About?
As I watch Star Trek: TNG from start to finish, I'll be making posts about any episodes worth taking a closer look at from a feminist point of view--both positively and negatively! Having absolutely no experience with the series, I hope to provide a fresh point of view on it. I won't be writing about every single episode, since it's unlikely that every episode will have something to talk about in it, but rest assured that I'll only skip writing about an episode if there's really nothing to say.
How Often Will You Update?
Posts will be at the very least biweekly, if not more often than that! I am a college student, so my time is somewhat limited, but my schedule this semester gives me a lot of free time in the afternoon and evening most of the week.
What's Your Background?
Where feminist critique is concerned: I'm a third-year English major--picking literature apart is kind of my thing! I personally think that media can be literature, or at least treated like it, and that's what I tend to do with anything I watch. I've been involved in feminist groups both online and on my school's campus.
As for my background with the Star Trek franchise, seeing the reboot films inspired me to begin watching the show itself. I've just recently finished ToS and I'm excited to start TNG!
Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll stick around as we go on this journey together!
