You mean did she watch Galaxy Quest? I'm not even sure. I told her I loved it and she yelled, "I HATE GALAXY QUEST!", and I figured there wasn't any point asking why. But Star Trek, sure, she'd seen everything.

I am really not sure what you mean. Are you talking cloved hooves and a tail, too?
The reference is to the Star Trek original-series episode "Mirror, Mirror," in which the mirror-universe Spock sported a goatee.Lazy + smart = efficient.

oh, oops. Thanks. I was more into TNG. Even though I love Leonard Nimoy. I was in the middle of re-watching the original series when my sister died and now it's too depressing to go back and finish it.
TMI, I know. -

That is a rather strange reaction considering that, in spite of all the pokes it takes at them, Galaxy Quest is pretty much a love letter to sci-fi fandom. By Grabthar's hammer, it's the fans who end up saving the day!

OMG, I've been a Trekkie since back in the day when they got irate at the term "Trekkie" and preferred to be called "Trekkers".
I would imagine that on the whole, "Star Trek" fans would be the
biggest
"Galaxy Quest" fans!
From the posts above it seems as if I'm correct.

There are Trekkies and Trekkersand they hate each other so much that they must have separate facilities at conventions. You'd think that they would be able to practice the STAR TREK philosophy and be able to come together since their differences seem so trivial, but no way.
The last con I went to they came to blows over snack arrangements. I am not making this up. I'm a fan of all things ST but I stayed far away from that insanity and hung out with LEXX and FARSCAPE on that trip. I always called myself a Trekkie in the past but that group came close to being thrown out of that con. A rose by any other namehey, that was an episode title. Season two, IIRC.
It was a great series.
Bored now. -

I own all of the original
Star Trek
series on Blu-ray and own DVDs for all seasons of
ST: The Next Generation
,
ST: Deep Space Nine
, and
ST: Voyager
. The only series I don't own is
ST: Enterprise
. I own the books
Star Trek Chronology
by the Okudas,
Captain's Logs
, and
Star Trek TNG Technology Manual
. I even own
Trekkies
, a documentary on Star Trek fans. However, I have never been to a Star Trek convention and I don't own a Star Trek uniform.
I love
Galaxy Quest
. It is both a satire and a homage to Star Trek.
