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!

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.
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?

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%...
Anyone show up in^H^H out of their Betazoid costumes at that wedding?
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?
