I agree that a lot of Trekkies have a look about then. I don't think all fans should be tarred with the same brush. There are definately a lot of fans out there who are perfectly normal looking. However, when I saw the movie it was on opening day and in the best cinema in London so naturally the Trekkie quota was quite high. British Trekkies don't tend to wear uniforms just to got the cinema, but I can stop that more, erm, lets say socially inept breed with a combination of the following factors:-
1) Most of the men are rather unfashionable and there on their own or with another of their basement dwelling mates. They are usually kitted out in unfashioanble trainers, jeans and a jacket that they probably bought in the eighties.
2) The women are dull looking, never learned how to use make up, with daring hairstyles of either platts or straight long hair - no dye of course.
3) All of those wearing glasses cannot seem to, for the life of them, buy a pair of frames that were fashionable in the last 15 years.
4) 50% of the men have Riker beards.
5) 50% of the men are fat bastards.
6) The unfashionable ones are often also, curiously, very enthusiastic about any subject they are talking about... most commonly computers.
7) The number of middle aged men there with their mother or father vastly outweighs the number with wives or girlfriends.
8) Half of them are holding bags containing items bought before the movie in the local geek shop (in this case Forbidden Planet).
9) 20% of them smell really bad and have not had a shower in several decades (seriously, what's up with that????).
10) The shorter ones inevitably walk around with darting eyes that make them look like a nervous ferret.
11) They are the only people who think using a wrinkled plastic carrier bag instead of a briefcase or sling bag is acceptable.
I'm not prejudice. Honest.
