For those who say Star Trek is not real...

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Star Trek is real make-believe. That's all.

 

[M'Sharak]

Kiri-kin-tha's first law of metaphysics: Nothing unreal exists.

I keep reading stuff like "Take it easy, Star Trek is not real." or "Vulcan is not a real planet." If Star Trek is not real, Star Trek does not exist. We would not even be here in a Star Trek forum, talking about the latest Star Trek movie. Therefore, Star Trek must be real. By similar logic, the planet Vulcan is also real.

I am presuming that these people are not saying that Star Trek is not real, but that Star Trek is not important enough to influence them in anyway. However, please bear in mind that some of us not only view Star Trek as real, but also an important part of our lives. What happens in the Trek universe does not matter to you, but it matters to some of us.

Inspiration is where you find it.

...while I agree with this generally, I find comments like the following...

Get Help. Seriously No Joke.

I'm no big fan of Shatner but he really got it right all those years ago with those three simple words...

...to be not very encouraging as regards the future direction of this thread. Why don't I just close it now?
