We are all “Star Trek Fans.”
When I heard that some “trekkies” preferred to be called “trekkers” I thought that it make them look even more weird. I’ve been a fan my whole life and have many books/models/videos etc. but conventions and opening night at the movie theater scare me. Trekkers are trekkies that don’t want to be thought of as weird. Guess what? you’re just as weird at the guys who paint their faces and put cheese on their heads. As Malcom Mcdowell said in “v” “Normal is what everyone else is and you’re not!”
Be good or I’ll be forced to recite all the episode titles in order from memory. I mean ALL, animated and unfilmed Phase II included. Yes I’m a Trekkie.
Cassibill! You’re late! What took you so long to get to this thread??[;)]
Truer words were never spoken! Your logic in flawless John.[;)]
First time on a computer since Fri afternoon, that’s why. Start at top of active topics and go down. Class was out at 11 and a few conversation later I got online.
“If you post Trek, she will come.”
Back in the “old” days around the release of the first movie, I heard it told that the term “Trekkie” had become a demeaning term to refer to refer to “Star Trek is all there is in the world” types. So the fans came up with the term Trekker. I’m a loyal fan (except for DS9!), but don’t live, eat and breath Star Trek.
Well Bill, being a Trekkie I do eat, sleep and breathe Trek. (Even DS9, as of last Tues. I own all 7 seasons on DVD. Still ticked about them not having a feature on EZRI Dax/Nichole DeBoer. Every other member of the main cast got one.[soapbox] getting off now…) MMMmmm… starting next week Enterprise will be new!!
Great! When are you having a Trek party? I’ll bring the Romulan ale.[;)]
hmmm… missed First Contact day… Takei’s birthday is next Tuesday but that not the right circumstance…Mulgrew’s B-Day is the 29th, wrong series again…The 5th of May is Marc Alaimo’s but it confict’s with Enterprise…5/23 is 10 yrs since NG series fin and 3 since Voy…
This is difficult.
