Comment on The Department of Temporal Investigations is on the case

At least at the Faires I’ve worked at no one cares.

In fact, I have a second-hand anecdote that one faire staff has a screen accurate combadge inside their doublet. When they see people doing stuff like this, they run over and pull them aside. They would whip out the badge and get in their face. “Does the Prime Directive mean NOTHING to you?! This is an uncontacted pre-warp civilization. You are ruining YEARS of undercover research! Who is your captain? I’m going to have your court martialled if you don’t get under cover FAST.”

  God forbid I see some Star Trek cosplayer while I’m watching a comedian crack whips and sing twisted tunes.

I’ve seen that as well, it’s slowly growing. Unsurprisingly the correlation of ren faire goers and trekkers is high.

  Is “trekker” the new “trekkie”?

    …considering the term is nearly sixty years old i’d say no.

    Fair enough, though I’m not too far behind ya there. I suppose it’s similar to the dichotomy of geek v. nerd, insofar that the distinction is lost on those outside the group (much to our chagrin/cringe). 🖖🏽
