Trekkies

After viewing the Trekkies video I would say that I am not as effected as some other people but like Joli Jenson said this can be disrespectful to others, encourages elitist assumptions, and acts as a scapegoating mechanism. I would say that this movie is disrespectful to others in different ways. Even as we watched the video we were laughing at how ridiculous some of the things they did were. For example, the fact that one of the cling ons paid thousands of dollars for the mask. We also make fun of them for dressing the way they do or even for how much stuff they collect from the show. Some of the assumptions that we make from the Trekkies video is that some of the people are loners who may not be but the movie or even how they act makes them seem like they are. We do not know everything about their background or what they do fully besides what the movie made them out to be. It is not fair to them. We also have the opposite extreme where like the group that met every week and had discussions about Star Trek. I would also say that the ladies who ran the talk show were on the opposite extreme. We think that they are all nuts for being so involved in a show.
