A serious discussion on a serious topic. . . . Outrage.

Tell me about it... Imagine my outrage at the infinite delays to the Hollywood remake of this classic Sci Fi show...

Fortunately my wife is a Trekkie.....lol

Ok.

I couldn't let this one go.

The term is "Trekker".

SMH


Trekker!

IDK...Pretty sure the term is 'Trekkster'.

Mandela?

Trekksters are actually Amish Trekkers.

They have wooden phasers set to "annoy the English".

Space Disco.

Ahhhh, good times. Gooood times.

a reply to: DBCowboy

They had to glam up the space waste management crew....

I like to see them as Universally Friendly...

Someone has to clean up the mess all those other Sci Fi flicks create in their endless battles of good vs evil...

a reply to: JacKatMtn

Satire about space travel.



That show was well before it's time.

I believe that they can't accept the fact that Star Wars is better but the votes are in and nothing can change the fact that Star Wars is better.

Hmm nope. StarGate is the leader in this genre.

Why, I'm up to season 9 on a marathon rewatch.

Up the mighty Tau Ri !!!!

Would this be the wrong to mention that R2-D2 won't be in this new Trek? I know I was really, really, really upset when I heard it.

Talk like this does not help.

I have asked the mods that you be banned for a serious breach of T&C's.

If I had an airlock, you'd be in it!

Throwing people out the airlock is decidedly unTrek-like. Don't they just refuse to beam them anyplace in particular and lose them in a pattern buffer or something?

But what would I know? I'm just off hanging in the TARDIS.

You wibbly wobbly timey wimey sort will be the death of us all !! Just like on Gallifrey.

And K9 should never have gone to live with Sarah, he seems to have died when the actress did

StarGate is just about a doorway that takes people to very weird places.

The doorway to my basement does the same thing.

My personal outrage about that is:
Why is Wil Wheaton not the Cpt?

Because Wesley crusher was the jar jar binks of the Star Trek universe.

If Gates McFadden had married Bill Gates, her name would have been Gates Gates.

*boom tish* hey I know it's an oldie, but she was his mother after all, and deserving of the ire...

As long as I don't find myself facing angry klingons down there, preparing myself for an unexpected incoming wormhole, I'm game !

Oo

Ah, bringing new insight to a post that my mind had not yet taken to the gutter.

There isn't enough hand washing gel to sanitize the membership here.

That's why we have to KILL IT! Kill it with FIRE!

You'll have to put the lotion on your skin. . . .

I'm pretty sure it is 'Virgin'.

Nope.

Virgins are Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've been known to buy a few in my time.

Nuke it from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

Technically, my first one was when I was at a Big 8 indoor track meet. They were holding the Trek convention in the same convention center as the meet.

Nothing says strange like warming up over hurdles in the hallway while Klingons in full battle dress with their bat'leths are walking down the halls staring at you.

I got on the reverse side of it at one of the Gen-Cons I attended later in life. It was in Indy. On costume night at the con there was a pre=season Colts game, so you had everyone in full geek costume attire on one side and the Colts fans in their full Colts fanatics get ups on the other. Nothing like seeing a guy who was half-naked and fully body painted blue and white look at the elves and others and say, "Freaks!"

High irony there.

I'm taking my kids to their first Comi-Con in a couple of months.

Nothing says, "I'll never have grandkids" more than a generational romp through Nerdsville.

That's so sweet.

And here I was thinking the only con your kids would ever experience was talking to you through Plexiglas.

I was pardoned by Obama.

Yeah, I took my kids to Convict-Com a few years ago...It wasn't exactly what they expected, but one of my sons did learn how to make a shiv...and I managed to get an autographed photo of 'Big Carmine' Saluzzo.

It never really is, isn't it? Which is what makes their surprise so genuine when you load them up with pruno and then toss them into the shower.
