Oh no no no no no no! No! Please don't tell me you took me ***seriously***?!?! And *gasp* don't tell me you've never seen or heard what must be the greatest SNL skit of all time, where Bill Shatner finally snaps and yells at a bunch of hardcore Trek fans at a convention that they should: "Get a life, will you, people! I mean, for crying out loud, it was just a TV show. You've taken a fun little job I did 20 years ago and turned into a tremendous waste of time" I thought everyone had seen that! Heck, Shatner even wrote a book entitled "Get a Life!" I would easily be able to convincingly argue that I'm one of the biggest ST fans on the list and even I thought that skit was hilarious. :-) > 2) There are lots of things that are "just a TV show" that are still > worth > discussing.

My uncle had one blasted for his home, but my parents (and grandparents) never had one. Expensive as all heck to do.
