What does an 800 pound gorilla do? Whatever it wants. Same thing with Trekkies, in the privacy of their own household. But ... what I'm wondering about, really, is that these publicised attempts hard core fans make to simulate a STAR TREK environment at home can only be counterproductive, to that goal. I mean, everything's got LCARS on it, the Living Room's laid out like the bridge of the Enterprise-D, the Dining Room looks like the Officer's Lounge, they're in full STAR TREK regalia, all of the time ... but ... there's no Federation. No Starfleet. And it's so easy to hit that brick wall of Reality that it seems, to me, at least, like it wouldn't take long before the escapism it initially provided, itself escaped. I don't get that, their setting themselves up for one hell of a disappointment.
