Samuel_Siegel Unfortunately the IMDb lists a different Samuel Siegel as being in this title, but to correct that I shall give my experiences on this. We met Roger's Son that morning at my crews betleH Tournament as we were setting up for it. Upon signing the "permission slips" We then took towards Roger's Direction for the way that things were filmed. Roger and company were quite accommodating in going with our programming.I had decided to wear my experimental and quite unorthodox battle armor. Black with Grey shoulder laims and the top layer was covered in a Blood red marbled vinyl. I died during a double kill during the combat bout that was shown on the film. That was completely done by accident (Only one of us was supposed to take a hit). During the filming Roger had me Yell QAPLA'! So many times my voice when so horse that I was unable to talk for 3 days. But it was very much well worth it, and as my crew at that time will attest it was the quietest con with me they ever had! LOL

CaptainPiecesofEight I didn't see the first Trekkies movie, but I enjoyed this one. I thought Denise Crosby was a good choice.I appeared briefly in the documentary on the 1995 Glasgow Worldcon, so I can sympathise with some fans' sensitivities. (Some overlap re filk)On the negative side, I thought two discussions went on too long: whether one should wear Star Trek uniform on jury service, and the definition of an anorak. What I would like to see more of is the artifacts of the fans who had turned their homes into replicas of the Enterprise. I liked the international character of this documentary. I was fascinated by the visit to Hinckley, a small town in England which is hosting this year's Eastercon. I would rate Trekkies 2 above some of the later Star Trek movies, but not the first five. I would watch it again.

rsyung Trekkies 2 is the logical continuation of Trekkies, as it follows the Star Trek phenomenon outside the borders of the United States, to the far reaches of the civilized world. Which makes me wonder why they focused as much as they did on the United States as well…I think I would have preferred the international angle exclusively. That said, it is still an enjoyable, and at times touching, look at a fan experience that is both benign and in many cases, beneficent. What this documentary has to offer is the striking realization that Star Trek (in its various incarnations) has become a mythology and even a religion for the disaffected of much of the world, and that its influence seems to be expanding, despite the concerns of fans as to the future of Trek. Substitute a belief in an afterlife with a belief in a better future, and you have a group of acolytes who have faith that they'll get there, if they embrace the precepts of Trek. There are no agnostics when it comes to Star Trek. Either you're a believer or not. As of this writing, the fate of the latest Trek show has been sealed, and the future of the franchise is in doubt. But those of us who have loved Trek since its inception in 1966 know better. After some time off to re-group and re-think, we know that Star Trek cannot die, just as faith in the future cannot die. Just wait and see.

JennyGump I am a big fan of the original star trek and the next generation, and I'm also a fan of the first film about trekkies but, this one was just beyond tedious, and slow. it wasn't as good as the first one. the first had funny, interesting, moments, and they always had great interviews with the trekkies. this one was more of a "hey, look at all the stuff i have", it was like watching antiques roadshow, except it was the fans themselves guessing how much everything was worth. it was interesting to see some of the people doing their own fan films and plays based on star trek but, aside from that the best part was the recaps on who we saw in the first film. it was interesting to see how they were now, and how they were effected by being featured in the film, widely regarded as one of the best documentaries ever made. this film is forgettable at best, and i wish they tried harder to make things a little more about the fans and not about how much money they have spent on star trek.
