No pointy ears for me

Nope. Never been to a convention (laughed my ass off watching "Galaxy Quest"), don't dress up in costume, don't have pointy ears or speak Klingon. Nope, just watch the shows.

I used to work with a woman who went to the conventions in costume. This was back in the mid 1980s shortly after STIII came out, the one where Kirk's son was killed. In the movie, he says "Klingon bastard, you killed my son." At the conventions, a popular button was "Klingon, son, you killed my bastard!" Geek humor.

You're right, I forgot about the time travelers on "Enterprise." Hell, it was in the first episode. I was thinking about the Enterprise crew travelling in time, not being visited by time travellers.

Over the years, I've seen just about every episode of each Trek series. Hell, I watched the original series when it was a first run series when I was a kid. It's just escapist fantasy and mostly harmless stuff. A friend of mine is a high school science teacher. He credits the shows with inspiring a lot of kids to look closer at physics and other science classes. If that's the case, then may the series enjoy a long, long run.
