Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge
gevmage writes "Gary Reign, a guy with apparently way too much time on his hands, built a home theater in his basement. This is not unusual. However, the room is designed, floor to ceiling, as the bridge of a Star Trek style starship. See his
photo page for details."

It looks like he did a lot of work, and it looks authentic.
However, there's one photo missing: one of these days, he'll have to sell that house. I want a picture of the real estate agent's face when they see that room!

" Plenty of real good-looking and smart women"
You might want to look up the word 'Plenty'.
There are not plenty of good looking or smart girls interested in science fiction, much less women that are both.
There are a few, and I married one(yeah me), but plenty is not the word I'd use.
When you go to a star trek convention and half the attendeess are good looking and smart women, then we will have 'Plenty'.
Of course, that means that the other gender needs more good looking and smart people as well. Fortunatly my wife got hers(yeah her).

Quick! Somebody go over to fark.com and get Wil Wheaton (aka Ensign Wesley Crusher)! He'll have the problem licked in no time! ;-)
What makes you think he's straight?
With a room like that, he could have every 12 year old boy in the neighborhood!

I was going to agree whole-heartedly with you here until you clouded the issue with your obvious falsehood of (reads /.) + (goes to trek cons) + (has wife).....
Of course he is loaded, think of all the money he saves living in his Mom's basement!

It is human nature to take shortcuts in thinking.
Why would he want a bunch of loud kids occupying his theater room?
Even if you're not a Trekkie, immersing yourself into a different environment like this would make for a more interesting experience. After all, isn't the point of such a room to entertain?
What I really want to know, though, is whether he requires his guests to lean dramatically back and forth during chase scenes?

This is a different asocial virgin.
It must have been rather shocking when you found out about this. Well, time heals all wounds I guess.

Go to a Star Trek convention. How many people there are smart? Quite a few.
Ha! This isn't true, at the last convention I went to most people didn't even know that in Episode #4F04 of TOS, if you freeze frame 16237 you can see some of the sound wiring from the set. How can any true fan not know basic knowledge like this?
Hmmm....my calculator puts 1:4 at 25%...
This dude is my GOD! If he's looking for a wife, my ex-gf would KILL to marry him.
SIG: TAKE OFF EVERY 'CAPTAIN'!!
Somewhere across time and space, the Captain of a star ship is now excitedly showing his officers around the new briefing room which he has painstakingly made to look like a residential apartment, complete with pretend windows that look out onto fake scenes of suburbia.

Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
Hmm.... I thought that was actually near frame 10237... are you sure?
I think 1:4 is kind of like shooting for the moon with a paper airplane.
