Cool Ok - Who's a Trekkie?

The new Star Trek remake is due May 2009.
Couple of trailers if you're that way inclined.
(trailer 2 the latest and best)

If its Sci Fi, it'll be a must see for me.....

I think I can honestly say i have seen every episode and movie, except the cartoon series. If only we could truly Trek through the stars, well I will have to make do with my telescopes for now. SciFI rules.

I've never really watched it, but the director of this new one is a genius filmaker, so i think i'll give it a go.

When i was 14 i had a movie stashed away called S*x Trek - does that count?

Nice ones
I was after one of the big enterprise models on ebay a while back, but got out bid in the last minute .
Baz (Bloodhound) is thinking of building a 2 metre one in wood

I always used to get miffed when people accused me of being a "trekkie" - its just another sci fi series (albeit a good one).

Then I realised one day I'd watched just about every episode (catching up on some missed Voyager currently)

Always thought Star Trek TNG was best by far and William Shattner hammed it up too much, but I'm starting to come to realisation TOS was pretty special really. Limitations in time, money and special effects just seemed to spur them on to greater creativity.

Looking forward to this new one - just hope they don't stuff it up. And good to see there's plenty of Enterprise tragics here too....!

Have you ever seen the "trekkies" documetaries. I thought I was pretty bad with it, but got nothing on these guys. The first one is hilarious.
It still makes me laugh when I remember being at a public viewing night and this little boy got his first look at Jupiter through a telescope. He said, "Mum, its got moons" Mum said "You should know that, you watch enough Star Trek".
