"Not that many people like Star Trek..." :o

**Jester** · 06-16-2010, 09:38 PM

So I was on IMDB the other day and saw a link to the entire run of ST:TNG on DVD that ran for $400, which seemed a bit pricey. I mentioned it to my wife and she said, "Not that many people like Star Trek..." I just looked at her, my jaw dropped. Really? They don't have conventions for nothing. Am I wrong here?

Hmmm, Star Trek has alot of hardcore fans. But it's not as "universal" as say Star Wars or even TMNT.

Star Trek is WAY bigger than TMNT is, has been, or ever will be.

*XERO* · 06-16-2010, 09:45 PM

I have never met a Trekkie in my life. Ever.

Star Trek sucks.

*Ninjinister* · 06-16-2010, 09:48 PM

Why do so many people think TMNT is bigger than it is?

*Eiko* · 06-16-2010, 09:48 PM

My husband loves Star Trek he just not a collector. But a lot of people are collectors and a lot of them prob already have the entire Star Trek run on DVD.

This is entirely true.

I dig Star Trek movies. The show, for some reason, i find really boring. The movies tend to be funny and endearing, but I can't bring myself to ever fathom spending money on the tv show.

Well when I wear TMNT shirts to parties, the mall, amusement parks, etc. people always take notice and say something. I don't own any Star Trek garb, but I can't imagine it being a conversation starter.

The way I see it...
Star Trek: Way more hardcore fans, very few casual fans
TMNT: Way more casual fans, very few hardcore fans

*XERO* · 06-16-2010, 10:09 PM

I bet it's HELL at a Trek Forum, though.

**GK Punk** · 06-16-2010, 10:09 PM

Not true, I've gone places with either my Brother or a friend of mine wearing Star Trek shirts and they ALWAYS get comments from other fans.

*XERO* · 06-16-2010, 10:11 PM

Well, the shirts are cool.

*Ninjinister* · 06-16-2010, 10:14 PM

And ya'lls are wearing red ones.

Oh shi-

That doesn't really prove anything, homie. Face it, no matter how you spin it, it's not hard to see that Star Trek is bigger.

*XERO* · 06-16-2010, 10:17 PM

Beam me the F*CK up, Ninji.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-16-2010, 10:46 PM

No it's not. It's fun. Sure it's died down a bit over the years but with the new movie series things are picking up. Some new fans are coming in and all sorts of fun stuff.

I once went to Vegas just to meet folks from a Star Trek chat room (a chat room that I've been going to for almost 13 years now) at the ST Experience. That was a totally awesome and fun weekend.
