Slashdot Mirror
Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard
When I was last in California, I had the good fortune to bump into Roger Nygard who agreed to be a Slashdot interview victim. He is the Director of Trekkies, 6 Days in Roswell and the recently released Trekkies 2. He's made quite a name for himself documenting some fairly extreme geek activity, and this is your chance to put him through the wringer. Standard interview rules apply: Post questions. Moderate them. We'll select the best and post Roger's answers in a few weeks.
You mean 'wringer'. In the old days, washing machines didn't do the spin-dry thing. You had to take the wet clothes out of the barrel, and feed them through, you guessed it, a wringer, which was two motor-driven rubber rollers that squeezed the water out of the clothes. It was fairly powerful, and people got hurt.
So, why not a "gaming" documentary?
You know that one already exists, right?
Carthago delenda est!
I would like to say now that I posted this for its humourous value only. I never expected it to get to the +5, Interesting where it stands right now. If he responds and says "get a life" I will _not_ be held accountable.
It's spelled "accept"
The people involved with Star Trek openly admit that there is no reasonable logical explanation for the difference. The audience is just asked to accept that the makeup needed to be changed.
In an episode of DS9, Wharf was directly asked about it (in the trouble with tribbles remake). And he just avoided the question by saying it was a "long story". It's sort of a trekkie joke because trekkies and most humans know that there is no explanation.
Why do you accept that the computer technology in old trek looks inferior to our current technology? Oh wait, I know why everyone accepts that. It's just a TV show and is for entertainment purposes only. If the writers, producers, etc could predict the future they would not be making low budget TV shows. That includes being able to predict the best way to do Klingon makeup.
and no. I'm not a Trekkie.
