I have no idea what this fascination is, but I can't help being in love with Star Trek. Mind you, I've only been able to watch the original series, but I am totally in love with it. I don't understand this obssession at times. It's hard to understand what's so appealing about it, but I adore it. Especially the characters.
I have a hard time choosing my favorite character. At times, Kirk stands out, with his overinflated ego and his overly-dramaticness. I am enamored with Spock and his logic and his witty sarcasm. And I can't help but love McCoy in all his pessimistic negativity.
What's the appeal of Star Trek and geeks? Why are geeks automatically associated with Star Trek and Star Wars and any sci-fi show that begins with Star. Is it the advanced technology, the complicated plots, the unfamiliarity of alien worlds? Or is it only the characters and the story that make it interesting. I mean, seriously, it would be such an intriguing study for a sociologist to research this hidden link. I myself cannot explain this naturally occuring phenomenon. But I can sum it all up in a word, a direct quote from Spock himself:
"Fascinating"
