Hey, I'm also now a student in an English PhD program. So this is like, my sacred duty or something :p

On topic, I never watched much Star Trek as far as series, but I saw a few of the movies and quite enjoyed.

Be neat to pick up the DVDs of the original, yeah their a tad cheesy, but still, it's classic stuff

I once worked with a guy who made himself up to look like a Klingon for movie premiers and parties. When I called him a Trekkie he replied "I'm a Trekker! There is a difference, you know.

And I came back with "Yeah, but only a dyed-in-the-wool Trekkie would say something that lame."

I watch the original series when it first aired in 1966. Watched the follow-ons. Not so much a fan as I used to be.

Oh good! Then you can't get upset when I start correcting your spelling. ('Happened').

Your first step to recovery is admitting your dependency on a pointed ear Vulcan and a bad acting captain of a Hollywood stage prop of a "Starship". Other than that, you will just fine.

I like ST, too. ST 2-4, 6, 8, 9 are very nice movies, especially no. 9 I like for it's many slow, calm scenes - it is the most underestimated of the six, 2-4 are a nice trilogy, and 6 and 8 are simply the best Star Trek has ever come to. The later seasons of TNG also had quite some attractiveness, as had DS9 once it got into full swing after the first one or two seasons, i felt really like coming home to family when watching DS9's latest episode, and again some great character inventions there. But then the ST-idea was over-spent with Voyager (not feeling Trekkish anymore), and Enterprise really was the funeral of it all - not any Trekkie-feeling at all.

Some episodes from TNG and DS9 that I liked, I have recorded and keep them since 15 years or so. The movies (as listed above) anyway. And Spock? Spock is cool! One of the most fascinating and original film characters ever invented in film business, even more so in his relation to Kirk. As Captains, i liked Picard and Sisko better - both are more believable, and serious. Both also were played by way better actors. As Kirk, Shatner was fine. But as an actor beyond that role, Shatner is awful. I also do not liked his behavior when appearing in private on TV, in shows or interviews.

But then they are really going for it...! That's why it is only every 7 years, else the species would be no longer there since a long time.

Well, if it's confession time... I have the uniform! It's a Next Generation 2-piece, custom-made for me from the official pattern. And I think I still have a hand phaser around here somewhere... And oh yes, a meticulously painted model of the Enterprise-D!

And in the early '90s, I wrote & submitted a script to Paramount for an episode of ST:TNG, but that went nowhere. Back in those days, they agreed to read submissions from anyone, even without agents or WGA membership. As far as I know, that unusual policy did not lead to any actual episodes getting produced.

Never was a trekie fan. I did get an episode on video as a Christmas gift once, it was given away to a kid who had a space intrest. At least it went to a good home.

Oh No!!! I've helped create a new fan
