Techies are Trekkies!
Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don't give a shit about Star Trek. I've seen a lot of it, just because I've had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched any after my childhood.
Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I'd probably get into it.
There's a fun documentary called How William Shatner Changed the World about all the scientists and inventors who have been inspired by Star Trek.
I wish that title was different. Bill doesn't need his ego stroked anymore.
It’s ok, whenever you get annoyed about his ego, just go watch the clip of Ole’ Bill trying to pontificate after his trip to space and Jeff Bezos cutting him off. The look on his face is so sad and frustrated.
Yeah, not the best, but still a really fun documentary.
I find star trek boring too, there’s a lot of far more interesting and exciting scifi out there so I really don’t get how it still has such a huge fan base still.
That said, if they start dropping the hard Rs in Star Trek I will definitely tune in to that catastrophe.
If it's hard Rs you want, just put on any episode where O'Brien is mad at the Cardassians
Star trek: in our universe racism is no more...
O'Brien: Damn Spoon heads!
Star Trek: Except Miles, he's the exception to the rule.
Not everything needs to be action or drama packed. It’s like a good documentary, the premise is usually very exciting. Kind of like a what if.
Star trek is a big plate of mashed potatoes. People eat because it isn't exciting.
Tech nerds are Trekkers!
