Document Summary
Started watching in 1968 when she was 9. Wrote star trek scripts starring herself, designed costumes. Compared to other folks, her star trek affection is nothing - the equivalent of a minor rash to an all-consuming cancer. Trek junkies: those who have a minor addiction to the series and their characters, a guilty pleasure not made public except to close friends and family, don"t own any paraphernalia. Trekkies: speak klingon, have the technical manuals for the trek ship, the people who are truly living in another space-time continuum. Deals with big questions and topical issues of the time (ex. Racial tensions portrayed as species tension, life with a terminal disease) As an adult, nds the original star trek hokey but lovable. Most of the time, it"s an intelligent tv show - questions the nature of time and space, discusses quantum.
