Sibelius6 1,009 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've not been able to sit through any of the films or any episode of the TV series.So I voted hell NO , never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivier 4 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Simple answer:Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,324 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 No I'm not a fan, but I don't mind some of it.I do like watching the older episodes, which are charming in their own way. Some of the movies are entertaining enough, as were some NG episodes. I quite liked Voyager and very nearly got into it, but then I remembered that I'm not enough of a fan to stick with it. Oh and I'll probably go to see the new movie, if the reviews are good.Trekkies on the other hand are mostly horrid little creatures who should be rounded up and shot.

Deleted 309 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Those of you who are not familiar with DS9, Voyager and Enterprise, I recommend that you check them out. Keep an open mind when watching the series especially for Voyager and Enterprise. I know a lot of people didn't like Voyager all that well but I for one loved it from beginning to end. Ya there were some rather boring episodes but TNG, DS9 and Enterprise had their fair share of boring episodes.To me DS9 is the best Star Trek series there is.Trekkies on the other hand are mostly horrid little creatures who should be rounded up and shot.Um okay what ever.

Luke Skywalker 784 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Star Trek > Star Wars.yes, YES.i'm puzzled.Star Wars as in 5 star movie from 1977 or as in crappy saga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,438 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd say they're both even in terms of how fanatic their legions of die-hard geeky fans will go to publicly demonstrate their love of their fictional universe of choice. For crying out loud, there is an organized Jedi church in England. Shatner may have two specials on Trekkies, but I don't think anybody sits down and practices Bajoran religions based on DS9...not even Stef.

However, Nihilius is from the video game Knights of the Old Republic II, so he's a little more mainstream than most of the other EU materials. I think what I was going for is that Voyager and Enterprise suck as much as the SW EU. Which I think is mostly true. To me they always felt like ST EU.
