One thing about Star Trek I always admired and liked: They worked in an incredible amount of naval terms. Helm... set a course.... I wish I kept a list of all the cool nautical stuff they say in a show about spaceships.

Tonight while working, I watched "Naked Time". Kirk, that computer-killing, female alien loving bastard--you have to give it to him--he loves his ship. In all the episodes, if anyone messes with his ship, it's trouble with a capital T.
Not big a Trekkie fan, but the original used more theoretical systems than the new one did. I didn't watch many of the original episodes, but I did watch all the movies and enjoyed every one of them. I do have the complete deck plans for a Klingon Battle Cruiser and the USS Enterprise - given to me when I was younger. Hung on to them since they may be worth something at some point in time.

A deckplan? I have a complete BOOK about the TNG-Enterprise, it's deck layouts, technical systems and components, procedures and such!

On the other hand, i also have a 1200 pages encyclopedia on the fictional history of the Dune-universe. And Frodo's travel blog is somewhere hidden on the shelves, too. Diary, I mean
