I think a lot of people here are true Trek fans. They might not like every aspect of Trek but they are true fans. Just like many here probably don't like every aspect of SW but still consider themselves true SW fans.

By almost anyone else's definition, I am a true Trek fan. I see all of their movies, most of their episodes (though, I admit, I have finally given up on Enterprise), and have followed them from the start. Here, everyone thinks I'm a SW fan--and I am--but I also watch ST and B5. I guess it's all dependent on our points of view.

Then you might want to post the fact that you believe most Trekkies are NOT like DarkStar.

Basically, if I had your post count, I'd be afraid of just about everyone. If you catch my drift.

Seeing as I am a well known Trekkie at SB, I am on Mike Wongs hate mail page, I am a well known Trekkie here, that and the fact that Mike Wong doesn't see me as rabid and considers me (and a handful of others) a rational trekkie...

You do the math.

He'll catch up quickly, methinks. Anyone who can become a youngling in less than one day of posting (which he will do at this rate) will be very competitive.

Better question: Why do so many people like Star Trek? I mean, it's not like it doesn't suck...

Whenever I watch stuff like Voyager (not anymore. Just don't have the will to) I just filter out all the technical mistakes, acting and writing mistakes, and just concentrate on what entertainment value the show may offer. In other words, I don't think about the mistakes and just enjoy the show.


That could be what all the Star Trek lovers do. Focus on the entertainment and leave the technicalities to those who actually care about the technicalities.

Of course. That's how I'm able to enjoy Enterprise - just ignore the technical inconsistencies and focus on the show. It's just like watching Gekiganger, only without as much action, and Gekiganger is much more exciting - Let's Gekigan in! Am I beginning to sound like Gai Daigoji? :D
