Data astrale 362002 punto 5

(mai capito come funziona…)

Questi sono i viaggi mentali di Tanachvil, alle prese con il balsamo psicologico del momento.

Dove per balsamo psicologico si intende ognuna di quelle piccole cose che sono il premio di consolazione alla fine di una giornata, lo zuccherino che ti fa dimenticare gli scazzi, la stanchezza e le delusioni e, anche se a lungo andare danno una strana forma di dipendenza, sono, nel loro piccolo, le cose che rendono piacevole ogni giornata.

Il mio zuccherino a fine giornata, da un po’ di tempo a questa parte è…

"Fate protects fools, little children and ships named Enterprise" -- Cmdr. Riker (Contagion) 

Un’ infanzia passata in compagnia di Leonard Nimoy con le orecchie a punta, innumerevoli tentativi di usare la presa vulcaniana su compagni di giochi rompipalle, mi aveva regalato una nostalgica passione per la serie originale (TOS) , e al solo suono delle parole ‘Spazio, ultima frontiera…’ mi sono sempre venuti i brividi.

Ma mi fermavo lì, avevo visto ‘The insurrection’ quando è uscito al cinema, ma Next Generation (TNG) non mi aveva mai entusiasmato quanto TOS. Certo, Patrick Stewart in divisa della federazione era un incentivo non da poco, ma evidentemente ci voleva altro per farmi prendere la febbre da TNG.

Poi, una sera, sono sola soletta nella mia stanza, faccio zapping avanti e indietro e capito su La 7, rapida occhiata e vedo il prode Jean Luc che contratta, con i suoi favolosi modi da capitano incazzoso ma pacato, con un alieno schifido che pare fatto di catrame.

Chi segue da più tempo di me la serie ha già capito, sì, è la puntata in cui muore Tasha Yar.

Per un motivo o per l’altro mi fermo a guardare e, miracolo, mi scatta la lacrimuccia sul funerale…sigh!

La sera dopo mi sono ripresentata puntuale all’appello del Capitano e ho scoperto che per anni mi ero persa uno dei telefilm più belli del mondo! Ora sto rimediando, poco a poco, ogni sera alle 00.30 (orario fantasioso…La 7 è moooolto sportiva col proprio palinsesto) recupero piccole fette di sogni spaziali, recupero il tempo perduto e mi addormento con la sigla di coda nelle orecchie.

Ora capisco molte cose.

Ora capisco perché se fai un qualsiasi stupido test sul tuo futuro sessuale (di quelli che si trovano su internet, tipo quelli di TheSpark, avete presente?) e alla domanda ‘Sei un fan di Star Trek?’ rispondi Sì, i tuoi pronostici sessuali peggiorano notevolmente!

Ora capisco perché qualcuno di mia conoscenza si è scelto il nome di Q e aveva chiamato il suo scooter Jean Luc.

Capisco parecchie cose, sì…

Capisco anche che mi sono presa un’altra delle mie infatuazioni e che se non sono a casa per la sigla di testa mi sento quasi in colpa….e non è mica troppo sano, credo.

Non è sano, ma è divertente e mi da quella dose di ‘favola della buonanotte’ a fine giornata che è capace di cancellare qualsiasi cosa negativa successa per un’oretta almeno, e scusate se è poco! 

Poi, vabbeh, se fossi normale non sarei io allora andiamo pure a scoprire chi è il mio membro preferito dell’equipaggio dell’ Enterprise…

Devo ammettere che i Klingon mi sono sempre piaciuti tantissimo e che Worf per certe cose è insuperabile…

Devo ammettere che Riker ha una fascino tutto suo…

Poi c’è il Capitano che è davvero insuperabile, ma…

Insomma, adoravo Spock…

E’ inutile, anche col cerone dorato dei primi episodi, anche con le sue osservazioni a volte irritanti, anche se è un androide (che ci sarà poi di male…), io testè faccio pubblica dichiarazione di imperituro amore a

Data

Insomma, cotanto androide, cotanto tenente comandante, “Positronic and proud of it”, citando dal sito dedicato dalla BBC alla serie, alla fine il mio PC, ancora in attesa di un nome con cui essere battezzato ha ricevuto finalmente, grazie alla riscoperta di Star Trek, la sua identità e temo che i miei mi prendano per matta a sentirmi rivolgere allo scatolotto qui davanti con i gradi della flotta spaziale…

Insomma, è chiaro ormai che la sanità mentale è cosa che non mi appartiene, mi dirigo a curvatura 9 verso il delirio, ma almeno mi diverto, voi come la vedete?
