Word up guys. I am new here but not to the fandom--currently rediscovering my childhood love for all things Trek, thanks to a trekkie boyfriend

Hey All!

Hi! Stating the obvious -I'm new here. I live in New Zealand, and have been a longtime Trek fan. I'm looking forward to the new Trek XI movie.

As much as I love Trek, and all things Trek, my bent is towards Trek starships - from every era and of every design. My all-time favourite design is the Refit Enterprise (TMP). The new Enterprise (as shown in various Trek XI trailers) looks awsome, IMO - I love it's look, most likely because it shares much in common with the refit Enterprise.

Anywho, enough about me! I look forward to participating in this community and engaging in some great discussions!

^ From the FAQ:

Avatars are only available once you have made 50 posts and been a member of the Trek BBS for at least two weeks. This is an anti-spam measure (and gives you something to look forward to once you've settled in). Once you are eligble, you can upload an avatar from your User CP. Click here to go to the avatar upload page.

Oh, and welcome to the board, andrewsean1701!

I suppose I should post in this thread. I'm a new fan, watched a couple of episodes last year and got hooked. It sure is addictive, lol.

Very much looking forward to the new movie. Especially because Quinto is the new Spock, yay.

Welcome to the board, Penelope. Which episodes (of which series) did you watch?

LadyPenelope · March 8 2009, 09:38 PM

The first ones i watched were in season 2 of Voyager.

Since then I've seen season one of the original series, 1, 2 and 3 of the Next Generation, most of Voyager and all the films.

Wow that is quite a lot when you write it down, lol.

M · March 8 2009, 09:40 PM

^ Yeah, that's definitely a lot of Trek. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Again, welcome to the fun! Hope to see you around.

Hi everyone, I'm a huge sci fi fan who watched the original series when I was a kid, and have loved Star Trek ever since. I enjoyed TOS, Next Gen, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise without animosity, and some of my favourite characters are: Reg Barclay, Quark, the EMH from Voyager, and last but not least, the delectable Empress Sato.

I'm currently watching the new BSG, Fringe, Dollhouse, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Heroes, True Blood, Dexter, Chuck, Smallville, and Sanctuary.

I'm also a fan of Stargate, Babylon 5, Firefly, X-Files, Space Above and Beyond, Buffy, Angel, Farscape, The Wire, Regenesis, Sliders, Andromeda, American Gothic, The Lone Gunmen, and The Pretender.

My favourite authors are: Dan Simmons (Hyperion cantos), Greg Bear (Forge of God, Anvil of Stars, Moving Mars), Larry Niven (Ringworld), and George R.R. Martin (Song of Ice and Fire).

I've been clunking around the net for a long time, and I even remember stumbling upon this place when it was darker and bluer a few times, but that was many computers ago, so hello again Trek BBS.

I'd like to bring complete and total closure to the issues I've had with the forum and this thread seems to me like the best opening.

The forum is okay once you know how to navigate the waters. It just takes a lot of effort and isn't something I want to do on a regular basis. But for anyone who actually wants to put in that time, go for it.

I think the key is to remember that a lot of these people are going to want to talk about these things longer you do, so just look for the nearest exit when you're done and let them continue.

Roberto · March 22 2009, 06:45 PM

Hi fellow space cadets!

I'm a fan of almost anything sci-fi related and I also enjoy horror.
