Techies are Trekkies!
Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don't give a shit about Star Trek. I've seen a lot of it, just because I've had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched any after my childhood.
Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I'd probably get into it.
I find star trek boring too, there’s a lot of far more interesting and exciting scifi out there so I really don’t get how it still has such a huge fan base still.
That said, if they start dropping the hard Rs in Star Trek I will definitely tune in to that catastrophe.
If it's hard Rs you want, just put on any episode where O'Brien is mad at the Cardassians
Star trek: in our universe racism is no more...
O'Brien: Damn Spoon heads!
Star Trek: Except Miles, he's the exception to the rule.
