mijanFor all the fannish fun, the geeky stereotypes, the meta, the movies, the costumes, the toys, and the many episodes of all the series... what's a Trekkie? Trekker? Star Trek fan. WHATEVER you want to call us. The name isn't important, but I can tell you what a Trekkie is.
A Trekkie is someone who has a greater hope for the future; one who truly believes that human beings can and WILL do something better with our tiny corner of the galaxy. And from there, believes that someday, we'll become both capable... and worthy... of going beyond our tiny corner, to explore something greater. Believes that there are new frontiers to discover, and a universe adventures to be had. And that as grand and vast as the universe may be, and whatever we may discover out there, there is nothing more incredible, precious, and unique as each individual sentient being. And in all that, and maybe more... we sure as hell better have a little bit of fun along the way. :)
Well, I guess I'm a Trekkie. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Date: 2009-12-03 02:40 pm (UTC)When I watch Star Trek, I see what I hope will happen. People being more tolerant, learning to work together instead of fighting, Putting aside petty differences for the greater good. Diversity, equality, open minds.
I was just watching Star Trek: A Captain's Log last night, and it was actually talking about how at least, The Original Series and first seven movies, and the messages they were conveying, with diversity and fighting and tolerance. (It was released in 1998, so the most current movie was Generations.)
I'm a Trekkie, and proud of it.
ETA: Okay, so I was uninformed. The most current movie in 1998 wasn't Generations, it was First Contact, and maybe Nemesis? I've forgotten in the 5 seconds it took me to get from IMDb to here. Anyway, Generations was the last movie reference in the special I mentioned above. There, I covered my tail. :D
