Savage post,

Nobody believes me when i say im a trekkie!
I grew up on the stuff, box sets, the Star Trek Fact files, the works!

Admittedly I went on a battlestar gallactica binge lately because of enterprise (poo) and i had seen all star trek episodes like 10 times

The new startrek has revived my interest tho, i think im gonna have to dust off the fact files and get out the DS9 box sets ha

I had nightmares about the episode The Best of Both Worlds – quite possibly the best two-part episode of any tv show ever. Scarey as hell. I loved the 5pm Sky One episodes, was perfect for after school.

I don’t think the movie is scarey, if he’s a 5 year old that doesn’t mind loud noises he should be okay, there are quite a few fight scenes too. To be honest, I’d bring him if he REALLY wanted to go, you know?

Sin�ad, a great post that got me thinking about how Jean-Luc kept me sane when studying for my Leaving – TNG was on every day at 5pm – perfect time for a study break.

My most memorable childhood nightmare involved a scene from the original.

My dad went to NYC; first person in my family to go to the States in 1994 and brought me back a book “Everything I need to know I learnt from watching Star Trek”

CanNOT WAIT for the new one. Would it be too scary for a 5 and a half year old, d’you think?

This is a lovely post and what a GREAT cake. Someone wonderful must have bought that and carried it around in a cooler bag on a hot June day.

@Allan You’re going to love it, trust me.

@Renaldo We’ll have to fight over the title I guess. ;)

@Marie DO go see it, it’s so so good. You know, I was a *huge* Voyager fan myself, I think it’s a girl thing! Figures though.

@Mark Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an airy fairy who thinks the Star Trek future of perfection is 100% possible – only that it seems like a place where those of us stuck in the 21st Century could be a part of. I think most of us wouldn’t survive in the future set out in the likes of Firefly or Battlestar Galactica.

@Ciara Ah thanks *blush* :)

A post about Star Trek I could understand and that wasn’t preachy.

You’re a breath of fresh air lady :)

Well it’s probably smarter to ask What Would Janeway Do, rather than What Would Kirk Do as the latter could soon land you in jail. Personally I’d prefer What Would Picard Do. The answer being have a cup of tea and a think about things.

Personally I have a more glum view of the future and so am drawn to a more glass half empty view such as Firefly.

What a fantastic post. Being a Trekkie is definitely something to be proud of. I love that it has taught you some valuable life lessons. I myself watched it but was never a big fan although I was slightly obsessed with Voyager back in the day, but now I’m all psyched about it and want to go see the new film!!
