Are there any Trekkies here?

[AngryDem001]

Hi, all! I am new here and I wanted to know if there are any Star Trek fans in the DU galaxy!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

1. Sure

Welcome

[avebury]

2. Yup.

I even follow George Takei on Facebook.

[Ahpook]

3. Sure Thing

I nerd out on the original series quite often.

The Twilight Zone is another

[Callmecrazy]

4. Make it so!

But I think the term is Trekkers.

[cyberswede]

[yuiyoshida]

34. + + +

[PragmaticLiberal]

5. Yep.

I've probably seen every episode of Star Trek...and that's including every series.

Yeah, I have no life.

[Aristus]

6. Welcome to DU!

Check the television topic threads; there's likely to be a Trek fan group there. If not, hang out here in the Lounge. Lots of Trek fans here. Plenty of fans, including me, of George Takei, as well.

[AngryDem001]

17. Thank you for the welcome!!

I LOVE Takei's FB page!! So many laughs!

[OriginalGeek]

7. TOS

followed closely by:
Enterprise and TNG with DS9 and Voyager bringing up the rear.

I was old enough to have seen it but don't remember watching the Animated series.

welcome to DU!

[mainer]

8. Yo

Only the original, though. Not the Next Gen.

[CherokeeDem]

10. But of course!

Will admit to watching the original when it was aired (I was very young...). Fan of all the series... loved and liked the movies, and I love the remake...

So... I am a Trekkie! On edit... oops... Callmecrazy is right, it's probably Trekkers.... I get confused. I'll answer to both!!!
Welcome to DU!

[Aerows]

11. I'm so nerdy

that I will say "Make it so." "Engage."

[yuiyoshida]

33. This might help...

[rug]

12. Do not set phasers on stun in GD.

[AngryDem001]

14. I will remember that!

Those are some great gifs! I love Spock's eyebrow raise!!

[MrScorpio]

13. We are here… nt

[AngryDem001]

15. NEATO!

Where did you run into Mr. Koeing?

[MrScorpio]

16. Believe it or not, he's my father-in-law...

No, actually, I met him hat a comic book convention a few years back.

[cyberswede]

22. So jealous!

He was so good as Bester in B5!!

*plonk*

[Ilsa]

18. Love Star Trek!

STNG is my favorite!

[AngryDem001]

19. DS9 and TNG are a tie for me,

but DS9 has the best villain hands down!

GUL DUKAT!!!

[Generic Brad]

20. I've seen the whole canon

I have seen the original series 6-7 times, DS9 twice, Enterprise once, and am finishing up Voyager for the second time. I've seen each of the movies 5-10 times.

I guess I could be considered a Trekkie.

[AngryDem001]

21. What series is your favorite?

[Generic Brad]

43. DS9

I originally resisted watching it because I thought it was a rip off and I could not imagine much adventure taking place at a location that just sat there. Was I wrong!

The character development is fun to watch. Watching Sisko transform over time is worth the ride alone. Gul Dukat is hands down the best Star Trek villain of all time. The Odo/Kira relationship is at times heartbreaking and then exhilarating. It also had cliffhanger endings and was more of a soap opera at times. I enjoyed the story arcs that spanned multiple episodes. In my view, the writing was just better.

[Arcanetrance]

23. Yep very much so seen every episode of every series and all the movies

Multiple time

[Jetboy]

24. My favorite show is Rawhide but I like Star Trek because it is kind of like Rawhide

in space.

Trail Boss Gil Favor- Captain James T Kirk

Ramrod- First Officer

Scout- Navigator

Cook (and trail doctor)- Chief Engineer and Doctor

Flank and Swing- Other Star Trek regulars

Drover- Star Trek Non-regular (look for 'em to not be alive at the end of the show in many cases)

Spock and Bones both appeared on Rawhide at one time or another. Rawhide was trail blazing (pun intended) in it's own way having the first African American regular cast member of a TV Western in Raymond St. Jacques.

[Ino]

25. Someone said Romney looked like Gul Dukat and I laughed.

Then I was slightly embarrassed that I knew who Gul Dukat is.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

[AngryDem001]

30. Yes he does!

And Paul Ryan totally looks like Weyoun!

[cinnabonbon]

36. Oh NO. I love Dukat and now I'll think of Mitt when I see him. :( nt

[ZombieHorde]

26. People will hate me for this,

but Voyager was my favorite. Lots of Borg and craziness. Great ending too.

[fizzgig]

29. i was not a fan of that finale

love janeway, though.

[Sedona]

27. Culver City checking in

[pinboy3niner]

28. 27 replies and nobody posted in Klingon?

Things have really gone downhill!

[yuiyoshida]

31. Yes...and have roled played it

for fun on IMVU.com



with friends

[sarge43]

32. Live long and prosper .... at DU. n/t

[cinnabonbon]

35. Of course! nt

[KamaAina]

37. No.

It's Trekkers, dammit!

[Bake]

38. Oh hell yes!

Bake

[eShirl]

39. both of us: conventions, fan clubs, uniforms, ALL series and movies

We're currently re-watching EVERYTHING Star Trek in chronological order, on Netflix. We started with Enterprise and now we're up to 3rd season Original Series. With some of the Time Travel plots we might have to fudge the chronological order "a wee bit," but we didn't want to put the reboot movies before TOS.

I have a Next Generation one-piece medical uniform in my closet I'll probably never fit into again. Boy, did I look good in it in my twenties, though.

[pokerfan]

40. Big fan

for the most part. There are good eps and bad ones but most of all I appreciate Roddenberry's optimistic vision of a better future.

Mission Log is a podcast created by Gene's son, though he's not the primary on-air talent. They're going through every single episode in chronological order and providing commentary. It's my favorite podcast. Episodes are once a week and they just concluded the original series.

Previous episodes are in their archive: http://www.missionlogpodcast.com/archive/

[hamsterjill]

41. Absolutely!

I think Gene Roddenberry was brilliant. I mean, just look at all of the stuff in the original series that is now commonplace in society!

I am old enough to have watched the original series when it was on after school in the early seventies. I loved TNG and DS9. Beyond that, I didn't watch much else.

I saw the first Star Trek Movie prequel with the young Kirk and Spock, etc., and I did not like it at all. Total fluff IMHO.

[denbot]

42. maH 'oH law'!

Though not a big fan of DS9..

[GreenPartyVoter]

44. Yep!

[Agschmid]

45. Yup!

[fizzgig]

46. patrick stewart is my starship captain husband

i would love to have tea with janeway and i'm pretty sure i'd lose a shouting match with sisko (nothing but for sisko).

my favorite episode of the series i've watched is the one in tng where everything is ruined forever. everything is broken, picard is stuck in the turbolift with those kids, troi is the senior officer on the bridge and worf is playing midwife to keiko.

"congratulations, you are fully dilated. you may now give birth."

[Recursion]

47. Darmok. And Jalad. At Tanagra

That episode was why I got into linguistics...

[Archae]

48. Charter member of the Trekkers here!

Been to a grand total of one convention, the infamous 1976 Chicago con.

Heard rumors there about that kid who made "American Graffiti" making a space movie.

Saw Shatner hit in the face with a pie.

But I was 6 years old when Trek started, and the monsters scared the potzriebe out of me!

Was furious when I heard about NG.
Then delighted.

Only liked ONE episode of "Enterprise," the two-hour Mirror Universe episode.
