    Can I just yell out the word "computer!" and then tell it how to advance the plot of this week's storyline?

    Let's get it right... we are NOT "Trekkies", we are TREKKERS!

    Trekkies are the kids with the Spock ears and Geordi visors.

    TREKKERS are more "normal"! We love Star Trek, yes, but we ALSO have a life. ;)

      I've always seen "Trekkie" used as a sort of catch-all for Star Trek fans while "Trekker" was a term I only heard people who took Star Trek way too seriously use about themselves.

      Or the union of those terms: Loser
