Trek tomorrow.
I never really considered myself a Trekker/Trekkie/Trekkist, per se,
(although I shared a flat with one, once).
I haven't seen every film, only skimmed DS9, abandoned Voyager after the
first season. I've never read zines, hung out on boards, been tempted
by fic...
But Trek is
a.) an essential element of my childhood, of teatime viewing, sometimes,
like Who, from behind the sofa.
b.) the essential strand of the DNA of fandom itself.
The Daddy and Mammy of them all.
The Ur-Fandom.
It's Fandom's Jerusalem.
And now - oh joy, I have the very last available ticket to watch "Star
Trek Babies" on the IMAX tomorrow evening.
Thrilled in every sinew.
