If by "Trekker" (the preferred term, or so I'm told), you mean someone who watches the shows, well, I guess I qualify. If you mean someone who dresses up in costumes, goes to conventions, speaks Klingon, and has no life, nope, not even close. Whenever I think of those people, I put "Galaxy Quest" in the DVD player and laugh my arse off.

The premier episode of "Enterprise" was pretty good, IMO. I'll certainly tune in to watch every week if for no other reason because there's little in the way of science fiction on TV. Like every one of the Trek series, this one will probably start off slow with the character development as the writers and actors get a feel for the roles. I like the premise of the show of humans taking their first real steps into the galaxy (not beyond it as the commercials stated) and learning on the job. I thought the friction between the Vulcans and humans was an interesting idea.

I used to work with a hard core Trekker back in 1986. She told me about the popular button that was being sold at the conventions that year. This was after "Star Trek III: The Search of Spock" had hit the theaters. One line in the movie is when Kirk is mourning the loss of his (illegitimate) son saying, "Klingon bastard, you killed my son!" The buttons read, "Klingon, Son, you killed my bastard!"
