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 :sorry::sorry::sorry:^_^

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.
I was a major board gamer; Star Fleet Battles by Task Force Games was our favorite. That one is chock-full of schematics. I always loved to play the Romulans.

My friends and I dabbled a touch in those D&D style Star Trek role-playing games. Good times. We looked like the kids on "Stranger Things" on Netflix.

Speaking of Stranger Things, has anyone in here watched the show? I loved it! It was like Goonies meets E.T. meets John Carpenter flicks. Pure heaven for an 80's purist like yours truly! ^_^^_^
