I
couldn’t help bouncing as we got snacks for Star
Trek: Into Darkness. Yeah, yeah, fan
bias abounds. I get it. But it’s science fiction, and it’s
well-crafted and it’s action/adventure, and it’s set in the Trek universe (or
near enough) that I’m a willing and excited consumer.
The
snack bar girl looked at me funny after I did the bounce, and I explained, “We’re
seeing Star Trek.”
“Oh!”
she said, and I thought I had a kindred spirit until she followed with, “You’re
one of those . . . Trekkies . . . or whatever they’re called.”
Or,
ya know, I’m a customer being over-charged for popcorn and sugar water.
That "Kahn" in the picture has man boobs. I also have man boobs, but I know better than to pose as "Kahn."
