Trekkers Alert: If you're a Star Trek fan...

Near the Georgia/Florida state line in Kingsland, GA are the Neutral Zone Studios that recreate the sets of the Original Star Trek series.

Neutral Zone Studios.

    Fascinating. Logically-speaking, Trekkers and Trekkies have existed simultaneously in parallel universes since the beginning of TOS. Trekkers were/are the science and slide rule wielding engineers and Nasa employees who helped advise TOS on the science used in the story-lines. That tradition continued with TNG, DS9, Enterprise and the various movies therein.

    Trekkies were all the rest of the fan-base who dress up as Romulans, Klingons, Khan and whoever else they admire.

    If you disagree that's fine. I won't get into a Kirk-fu, fist-fight about it. :B
