School Boy error there Kosh
Trekers is what you meant I belive.

You have 12 years on me Kosh as i'm not surprised I play World Of Warcraft and some of those fans are as NUTS as the converntion lot!!
As an example when the expansion before the last one came out they ran a story on it on BBC Breakfast and got a couple of gamers to come on and talk about it.
I was sat with my head in my hands as they appeared dressed as Elves and Orcs wearing the full gear including face paint and false ears and tusks, Everytime I mentioned it after that for months I got called a loon or worse folks thought we were all the same (See pmh's comments)
Conventions are much the same by all acounts and that is just TOO heavy for me, Infact I would go as far as to say the convention types give normal Sci-Fi fans a bad name.

Got the original V series on DVD and sky-linked the new version. Looking forward to the Spielberg epic 'Falling Sky' starting this month.
Syfy's an excellant channel. Haven, Human Target and Painkiller Jane. Oh and cant wait for series 2 of the 'Walking Dead'.

No shame in the dressing up bit, me and my best friend dressed up as Cally and Jenna from Blake's 7, with the teleport bracelets, stun guns and we made our own Orac computer too. Oh, hang on, we were only 10 at the time.

I still can't belive that Eric Idle voiced some of the origional Transformers movie.
I also love the fact that Orson Welles was the voice of Unicron.

Try a Buck Rogers convention where everyone waddles about shouting 'HeeBee DeeBee'.

I can do some chunks of dialogue complete with sounds effects and even score - not as much now as I don't get to watch it as often. I have a mate who used to be able to do the entire first movie verbatim if he was asked.
