Top Ten Signs You are Obsessed with "Star Trek"

[Nerys Ghemor]

My sign of being too obsessed with Trek is that, whenever I see a person with a slightly longer neck, I'm starting to imagine them in Cardassian makeup.

Yep, totally.

That's exactly what I think every time I see Alan Colmes on TV--he should be put in Cardassian makeup. He practically has the hair for it already...just needs a little black dye and a bit more grease, and he'd be THERE.

I had to look him up... A rather weird-looking guy! Kinda has a Vorta face/smile...

Hm...I never would've cast him as a Vorta. Then again, I would never have cast Iggy Pop as one, either...

And hi, TZ! Hope all's well with you!

And for equal opportunity fun...seriously, if someone had fixed the proportion to get it EXACTLY right, I think Charles Krauthammer actually looks good as a Klingon!!

I could easily see Brit Hume as a Vulcan. (To be honest...Krauthammer, too...but that's just me.)

And...while he doesn't quite look the part, I'd say Greg Gutfield (of Red Eye) has the personality of a fast-talking Ferengi salesman. Y'know...slimey-and-sexist in a good way.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Uh...I don't think IRL there really is a "good" way to be either of those things. We'd have to be talking STRICTLY in the fictional realm where no real people could actually be harmed.

^ I fail at 3 of those... Though I plan to do 2) at some point... 5) might possibly happen at some point, too... but 3) is definitely not the case.

Rhona Mitra would make a gorgeous Vulcan, don't you think?

DIE, GERMANY. DIE!



Edit: Found this - http://youtubeproxy.org/ - very useful

----------------------------------------------

From the 47 things:

#4 – …you perform the Picard manouevre

Guilty as charged.

#6 – …you can identify an episode from a few seconds of footage.

Only TNG though.

#10 – …you spent hours as a child with your fingers taped apart so you could perform the Vulcan hand salute.

I could do it right from the start...

13 – …you know of The Picard Song.

Guilty as charged.

#17 – …you order tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

No, I order tea. Darjeeling. Hot. Close enough though, I'd say.

#21 – …at least three of your top ten movies are Star Trek ones.

Yep. Four, to be exact.

#22 – …your favourite time of day is 17:01.

Exactly.

# 26 – …you don’t have a name but a Borg designation.

I have both :P

# 27 – …you’ve witnessed the only time Andy Dick has been funny in his entire career (ST:VOY – Message in a Bottle).

GAC.

# 42 – …the only knowledge you have of baseball was gained through Deep Space Nine.

Yes, but in my defense, baseball is practically unheard of in the three countries I have lived in in my life (India, Britain, Austria and Germany)

# 45 – …you know the lyrics to the Star Trek theme.

Not exactly, but I know the lyrics to the STTNG episode guide song.

# 47 – …you understand the significance of this number.

Very much so.

None of the 10 from the video apply to me

...if you spend your midnights plotting the assasination of Rick Berman.

No, JJ Abrams

 

[Nero's Shadow]

The top ten does not comply with me but i do call my girlfriend Spock alot lol and I have a star trek shrine in my spare room to be lol !!!!

As I say part time geek full time trek fan !!!!

can't view it in the UK, contains copyright material from CBS and is blocked.

Ultrasurf is a good way to get around that. If you use firefox grab the ultrasurf program and the ultrasurf firefox plugin.

Sheesh. If you've got a target on the head of the Great Bird currently in power...you REALLY need help!

(By that, I mean the big intense Berman-bashing didn't really seem to me to occur until after B&B-Trek's death became a given....

Could be wrong, though.)

 

[Rush Limborg]

Side note:

Here's some evidence of how far gone I am....

I have just finished lyrics for a Trek spoof of Don McLean's song "American Pie", that spans all five shows, the movies--and even some nods to TAS and JJ's film.

*sigh*

Nah, I remember the good (or bad) ol' days when people here would have a Berman or Braga bashing session, when VOY and ENT were still in production. I remember people whinging about ENT from the moment the series was announced onwards.

 

[Rush Limborg]

As ye say, lad.

Still...it always seemed that it became The Trend after ENT died off, to look back and say, "IT WAS RICK BERMAN'S FAULT! HE DESTROYED TREK BY ABANDONING GENE'S VISION!"

While, to be frank, I'd say it was when Rick and Co. super-over-struggled to mimic the old way--or the obsession over canon-detail--when it started to go down. Observe all the bashing of the "planet of the week" trend...or the "rosy ending" trend, or the "new technobabble in case it's contradict something established earlier" trend....

He's not the Great Bird, in fact I bet the real Great Bird is turning in his... orbit. Abrams is a terrorist who was arrogant enough to rape Star Trek

At least he didn't cast anyone he was sleeping with in the movie (that we know of, anyway ) and none of the actors left because they were raped by a studio exec and he didn't do anything about it...

 

[George]

At least he's not Woody Allen... ...I love Woody Allen, but gawd imagine what would have happened if he directed a Star Trek movie!

That's a scary thought!
