Boldly Going Where Few Reviewers Have Gone Before

Patrick Bromley came to find Star Trek much later in life than most. A casual viewer of TNG, he gained most of his knowledge by watching the movies.

Recently, armed with only bits and pieces of the vast Trek story, he headed into the theater to see the JJ Abrams reboot and it was as if the sky opened and the angels sang — or maybe it was a choir of disembodied elders who had evolved into a state of higher conciousness.

Whatever it was, it converted him, right then and there. Suddenly, Patrick realized that he’d been missing so much by not engaging in the Star Trek experience in the order it was meant to be seen  — the original order. He went home and straight to Amazon determined to make it all right.

Now, with DVD sets in hand, Patrick Bromley is dedicating his life to something many of us take for granted. He’s going to view the entire Star Trek franchise, episode by episode from beginning to end. And he’s going to chronicle his journey on TVVerdict.com.

I say we should all support him on this long, dangerous and what will sometimes be a tedious mission. You can see him off here in his introductory post, then relive that first giant step for mankind as he takes on The Cage.

From there. . . well. . . it’s hard to say. There’s no telling how long it will take to complete his mission, or if he’ll ever see the end of the journey at all. But all of us who know Patrick from DVD Verdict and beyond, wish him god speed as he boldly goes where few reviewers have ever gone before.
