The 40th Anniversary of Star Trek
Digitus1337 writes to mention the 40th Anniversary of the original Star Trek series. StarTrek.com's article has a look back at that first episode, and tries to explore the whys behind the popularity that followed it. From the article: "On the evening of the 8th of September, following Daniel Boone, this new NBC show premiered with an episode called 'The Man Trap.' The angle of the story was different, to say the least: It was a love story with a sci-fi twist, borne of a relationship from the doctor's past, featuring a monster that, in the end, just wanted to live. It was moving, tragic and anything but cheesy. The viewers -- at least the ones who were paying attention -- were hooked." Update: 09/09 16:16 GMT by Z : Just to be sure you're aware of it, Slashdot's own CleverNickName is celebrating the 40th anniversary by reviewing episodes of ST:TNG on TVSquad. He begins with "The Naked Now". You know, "You are fully functional, aren't you?"
Actually none of the above as only fucktards that should be taken out of the gene pool love the shit created by Gene RetardBury. Shit Trek is one fucktarded dream that should fade into obscurity.
I always hated Star Trek. It creates such an unbelievable vision of the future. Everything is so pristine, but you never the the laborers or even robots to keep it that way. Even the actors (in the Next Generation and later) were stiff and spoke perfect emotionless english. Just a bunch of cold automatons moving through pristine sci-fi sets.
And that's why geeks love it. They are as stiff and as lacking as the idols they worship. They can't and won't deal with reality, because in the harsh reality, they're losers. They're nobodies. The skills they vaunt are nonexistant. The "knowledge" they claim to pursue is useless.
Those nerds aren't misunderstood: they're pathetic. They are annoying and obnoxious. We deal with them in the only possible way: we rip their fake uniforms to pieces, we smash their laughable imitations of silly space gadgets, we beat them up and beat them hard. We humiliate and debase them. We stick their heads into toilet bowls. We kick them in the teeth. We shit on their faces.
And that's only because the real solution - slitting their throats or burning them - is insofar illegal.
