Sibelius6 993 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 post Share on other sites
Olivier 4 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Simple answer:Yes. Link to post Share on other sites
Quintus 5323 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 759 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 post Share on other sites
Quintus 5323 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Star Wars and it's two sequels laugh Trek movies out of the theatre and curb stomp them on the pavement outside.As geek properties, they're even. Link to post Share on other sites
SeekUYoda 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 YES. Proudly. As evidenced by my legitimate copy of Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back.Ray? Not a Trek fan? Really?

Wojo 2438 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. Link to post Share on other sites
