Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

By the sound of it, I won't be surprised if season four has more gimmick eps than non. Harrumph.

Well, just posted it to the Season 4 preview thread but it seems to fit here too:

In my experience it typically means "someone who agrees with me in full."

A real Trek fan has or secretly desires to wear a Starfleet outfit in public and let others bask in his or her Trekieness.

If you're not using stardate conversion charts to turn real world dates into stardates then you're not a real fan.

 

[Tallguy]

If you're not using stardate conversion charts to turn real world dates into stardates then you're not a real fan.

I have occasionally been astonished at how old I was when I stopped writing my dates as stardates. (Simple yymm.dd.) Or in what venues that I did it.

 

[cooleddie74]

I did it in high school.

I kid you not.

My teacher who got the explanation humored me, but I know I lost coolness points that day, and I had almost none to begin with.

Wait... you stopped?

I think that might be the nerdiest thing I have ever read and I am a almost 50 year old virgin who still lives with my mom!

Well, I didn't realize how much facts could hurt until it was my turn.

 

[Firebird]

If you're not using stardate conversion charts to turn real world dates into stardates then you're not a real fan.

Pfft, I’ve made my own excel spreadsheet to make the conversion.

I wish that was a joke…

I'm taking note of the wording about Sybok, specifically that we could see "a version" of him.

Maybe he's going to be a Sybok muppet!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Y’all are next level nerds.

[MarcKle1964]

A real Trek fan has or secretly desires to wear a Starfleet outfit in public and let others bask in his or her Trekieness.

I have to restrain myself when I'm with friends or I'll Trek-out in conversations.

Y’all are next level nerds.

Ya better believe it. Trekkie proud since 1973.

I started doing that in 1972 after I went to the first Trek Convention in NYC.
I was 13 and had graduated from 6th to 7th grade that year.
I wore my nerd moniker proudly.

"Gain strength from the hand up your backside."

Heh ... I did, eventually.

(butt only once ... turned out it wasn't my thing ... Ooouchie!)

I once made a list of every Starfleet officer, even it was a random extra or name for some reason. Also I don't know much about tech yet somehow I figured out how to hook up two vcr's to my tv were I could play a video on one and record it on a blank VCR tape from the other. My goal was to record all the Trek shows in run order and I would for example rent some DS9 episodes from Blockbuster and record them onto my blank VCR tape. Basically I was thinking of figuring out how to binge watch Trek before that was even a thing.

 

[DaveyNY]

I created my own Star Trek Timeline using all the episodes in my imagined order a year before TMP came out and was showing it around at Trek conventions I went to.

Wasn't half bad, even got me a mention in the first edition of the Okuda's 'Star Trek: Chronology' foreword.

Even though no one really gives a shit what someone might have done with a VHS tape back in the day, given this forum's policy against discussing piracy, I'm not sure that's something you want to admit doing.
