Now while I'll firmly admit that there are plenty of intelligent trekkies out there, why is it that the show seems to have so many vocal retarded ones?

I'm not sure Trek has more retarded fans so much as more fans overall and consequently, the number of retards among them is comparatively higher.

Agreed. It's a good thing there's no "big rival" (like SW is to ST) to Harry Potter. That fandom is scary enough by itself.

Star Wars also has many vocal retarded fans. Did you forget about all the nutcase fanboys that go after Curtis Saxton but managed to make attacks against Karen Traviss' stupid writings an act of Blasphemy?

All such idiot fans should be locked in a room, tied to a chair with an apparatus that forces their eyelids open and forced to watch Galactica 1980 over and over. :twisted:

I don't think it's certain franchises having stupid fans, but that most fanboys of any kind are fucking stupid.

Battle Beyond the Stars is actually one of those things that you hope is a parody, but to your sheer horror, it turns out not to be one (unlike the much livlier Flash Gordon film from the same era, which actually was tongue-in-cheek, and quite good at that). It was one of the many B movies produced by Roger Corman, and in this instance, an attempt to milk the Star Wars phenomenon (something done slightly more successfully, emphasis on the word slightly, by Battlestar Galactica and The Last Starfighter.)

Oh come now, it was still a fun film. You've got John-Boy space hero, you've got George Peppard and Robert Vaughn, you've got leather-queen Sybil Danning, and to top it off you've got All-Time Evil Actor John Saxon eagerly scene-munching in a tongue-in-cheek space-opera version of The Seven Samurai. All the various elements of badness coming together in just the right way. How can you not enjoy a movie like that? 8)

I just read from a newspaper that a German corporation is supposedly developing an anti-stupidity pill. My god, if it would be possible to just make each of these retards eat one of those...

Actually, the first thing we should do is feed them to thread necromancers. What part of "don't post in a dead thread" is too difficult for you to grasp?
