I'm totally proud, this is coolness! Just when I think Star Trek has become irrelevant and no longer matters in our society, someone proves me wrong. It hurts me when I realize people don't recognize a show, and it fills me with glee and delight when they do.
Like, I was watching this quiz show one time when I was bored, the host asked this question of schoolkids, 'Name the show which involves the never-ending search for alien life'. They blanked. 'Would it help if I mentioned Mulder and Scully?' Still blank.
THERE WERE LETTERS FILLED IN A FEW OF THE SPACES AND STILL THEY COULDN'T ANSWER IT. *FACEPALM* X-FILES, YOU BRATS, X-FILES, I MEAN, SERIOUSLY OMG! *HEADSPLODES*
That about broke my spirit. >_<
BUT the other day, I was on the bus and this little girl, like Year 7 maybe, about 12 or 13, gets off the bus. Her friend waves at her and she spreads her fingers in the Vulcan salute, and I was just sitting there with the biggest smile ever, all nerdy and squeeful because of that little gesture. Hee.
