A friend once told me this. If you call someone a ‘fanboy’ and they chuckle and nod, they are just a fan. If you call them a ‘fanboy’ and they go into a two hour diatribe on how their devotion is perfectly justified and rational, then you’ve got a ‘fanboy.’

No idea, I’m not a super-fan.

I will say that I like those uniforms the best of all the iterations. Maybe because Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie?

My personal take is that when a new species/planet joins the Federation they get to design a new uniform for Star Fleet. The Betazeds picked the miniskirts from TOS.

I been saying this for a while.

Drop all the ‘canon’ lore. No more Klingons, Romulans, Vulcans, or Borg. In fact, no six foot tall, five fingered aliens. Aliens will look completely unlike humans.

Wipe all memory and start 100% fresh.

Speaking as an American, I’m stunned by the lack of political awareness most of my countrymen display.

Over one million people died under Trump and they voted him back in.

I will pick something up without knowing anything about it, but I am pretty quick to give up on a book if I don’t like it.

One time this backfired on me : I started the book ‘Gone Girl’ and gave up in the first chapter because I couldn’t stand the smug yuppie narrator. Later I saw the movie and read other books by the same author. I realized she was really good at creating unlikeable characters.
