They suck your life, with their hands, not your blood with their mouths.

I recommend the Three and Master ones, which I've been liking in my gradual chipping away at the backstory. But then again, I've always had a weakness for classic television (it was TOS that got me into Trek, years and years after it had become classic tv). I have to agree with everyone else that the specials are less likely to be good stories than many of the regular episodes. What I've been doing, is reading about elements of the backstory I want to know, and then figuring out which episodes/other media might address those elements, and linking to other related episodes from there, through authors, characters, and events that I like. I figure eventually this will lead me through all the serials, or at least most of them. Not linear at all, and rather related to internet-culture, I think.
I'd like that vampires in SF t-shirt to also have the footnote on it.
