....your a trekkie...
I dont watch much Star Trek but i do like a lot of sci-fi....I was just printing off 9 sheets of paper and when i got to the seventh one i looked at the page number at the bottom and thought 'mmmm 7 of 9'................ I just wondered what are the tell tale signs and thought it might be a good thread to start(im well bored at work)....

is a perfect tell tale sign...

personally i dont know why people watch star trek, biggest load of shìte i have ever seen.

another tell tale sign would be when you start to speak like the comic book guy outta the simpsons? ;o

mooman_00

I disagree, I think its a very good show.....but im not a trekkie, i only watch it every so often.....it is good though. Personally I love stargate and farscape to a lesser extent and i do watch a lot of the other shiit thats on tv. I think its healthy to have a little trekkie in you it keeps your mind open to new experiences(in tv).

when you start to speak like the comic book guy outta the simpsons

worst indicator ever.

Sposs

I Like star Trek (dont throw rocks at me:( ) i think the reason its so popular is it realism,although whats puzzled me is the fact the all speak with American accents even Picard who's from France,may be this is a sign of things to come after America are finished in Iraq :eek:

mooman_00

Americans Believe that everyone in the whole world should be free(and American)

And yes much of what star trek has done will be everyday in the future. Imagine if it became a religion....

Priest like fellow "and in season 12 episode 2 Cpt Jean Luc Piccard sayed onto his crew "warp speed 8 please"
and into warp speed they did go and out of trouble did they flee. This is an invaluable leason that we must all learn and practice. Star Trek"

Congrigation(through live video streaming) "Star Trek"

It could happen. There are already people who follow the Jedi religion afair!

Startrek is great tbh. I was pretty surprised (well, actually no I wasn't) when people in my school started asking people whether they were a trekkie or a WWF fan. I thought people would have been slagged to bits for watching WWF seen as they're not 5 anymore, but it was ME who was ridiculed! Comparing WWF to startrek is just not right, not right at all.

Also, why the hell do people pronounce the trek as track/trak? It's so damn annoying, especially when they make it out as if YOU'RE the one in the wrong!

*sigh* I need to lie down now.

How do you know when you're a trekkie?

1. When you insist on being referred to as a trekker.

2. When you start trawling Google for top ten signs of How Do You Know When You're a Trekkie? sites.

did you enjoy them? do you live your life awaiting your call to the enterprise? are you proud of your love of star trek? if you answer yes to these questions please put a tick in the box next to yes i am a trekkie!

When you quote random lines of trek in your sig.

My last one :

"There is the theory of the Mobius. A, twist, in the fabric of space, where time becomes a loop, from which there is no escape" -- Warf

or my current one

"Revenge is a dish, best served cold " -- Kahn, in 'The wrath of Khan'.

Or when you get plastic surgery to have ears like spok.

either is an acceptable show of your appreciation for Star Trek

I think I fancied her at some stage meself ( Geri Ryan. )

I used to love Star Trek, especially the needles they used in the sick-bay where they could inject 200 mg of various chemicals into people, who always had a genetic mutative disease. They would change back to their original state in seconds.

I went through phase of thinking it was great and then got over it pretty quick when everyone started slagging me.

Used to be a fan, mostly because of the special effects I think. But somewhere it all started to bore me. The majority of stories aren't actually all that good, sometimes they're terrible. The realism has completely gone from it (if it ever existed), and it's horribly american in its "Do as I say, not as I do" approach to enforcing and breaking rules in whatever episodes the prime directive is spouted...

Tis just my opinion however.

I'm still a fan of the old series, simply because it's so hilarious and cheap looking...:D

I've wanted to shag 7 of 9, that mind reader wan from next generation, the wan with spots on the side of her head in DS9 and the vulcan in enterprise. Does that make me a trekkie? Anyway Red Dwarf will always be the king of space opera.

Not really a quote from Star Trek as much as a quote of a quote:

: Who said/wrote this originally?

Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderios de LaClos (1741-1803). He originally said it in French in his 1782 book Les Liasons Dangereuses: "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid,"

from here.

Never watch Star Trek so I never associated that phrase with it.

I used to love star trek except for all the horrible character development plots, the sucked bad especially DS9, on the up side though, the Dominion wars in the last series of it had some of the best space-battle scenes ive ever seen.

so ya, i guess im a trekkie
