This is a nice feature. It can feature pithy little quotes or riddles, but it's just swamped with Trekkie drivel. I've just been informed "The deflector shields just came on Captain". What am I supposed to think about? Reminiscing over William Shatner's corset?

A little bit off topic but having been to DragonCon in Atlanta last weekend (Aug29-Sep1), I noticed that the amount of people wearing Star Wars and Star Trek gear has fallen drastically - especially the Trek people. Hopefully the franchise will die the miserable lonely death it deserves.

It will never die. I may have to slumber for a decade, but it will always come back.

Believe it or not, Pirates of the Carribbean fandom was more prominent than ST, at least judging by the number of costumed fans.

What's DragonCon?

[JohnT]

A yearly science fiction convention in Atlanta, GA that deals mostly with media (TV, Movies, no books or authors).

When's the PirateCon?
