The "Jalad at Shaka..." reference, you'd have to be one heck of a weirdo fan like me to get it LOL

Darmock and Jalad -the walls fell!

(And my autocorrect insists I meant "FarmVille and Jailed" - I don't think I've ever typed "FarmVille" on this tablet)

Does that make me one heck of a weirdo fan?

LOL within the past few months, I have rewatched the the original series, TNG, and Voyager. Have not rewatched DS9 or Enterprise - I started DS9 but only got a few episodes in.

By then I was seriously Star-Trekked out.

Maybe I could have kept interest if I'd watched the series in reverse order of when they came out.

Not to my level. I've met a ton of these folks in real life and went to conventions as a kid. In junior high I was studying schematics of the various starships (as if they were real!? LOL!), and I owned, yes, owned Mark Okrand's Klingon Dictionary. I know, disturbing indeed

I'll never forget the time I was down in Pasadena, CA at a convention and was looking for a ballroom where Jonathan Frakes was supposed to be speaking. I went into the wrong board room and there were 30 people dressed head to toe in 100% legit Klingon make-up, wigs, and armor gear. I kid you NOT! They were speaking in Klingon and they all turned to me looking furious that someone would accidentally open up that door! "Ka cha huk cha-qui bunai kup ha" they were all discussing God-knows-what! I closed that door like I had seen a ghost!

I saw Gene Roddenberry speak about 9 months before he passed away. At the time I felt like Roddenberry was an ethereal heaven-sent genius superhero. It was years later that I learned about his intense atheism and devotion to secular humanism and distaste for religion that really disappointed me in a massive way.

Star Trek will always be something I love, but the secular humanist stuff that permeates it to some degree makes me want to ralf.

Oh well, and here I have spent the last hour looking at Star Trek memes. Just for that, I won't post them all at once.

(Not to mention there's a good many that are kinda funny, but also inappropriate - and some are just plain inappropriate without even being funny.)

It would have been cool if you'd answered them in Klingon.

And not to the degree that I dress in costume and go to conventions, lol, but I was a fan since way before it was cool. Back then we didn't have cool stuff, so anything we had, we had to make our own.

One day, 3-D printers will be known as "ancient replicators".

(I'm looking for transporters, replicators, and a holodeck myself)
