I first saw Trekkies almost 10 years ago and in watching this documentary
about Star Trek I was amazed at how diverse the fan base is within the
United States. As with any hobby or interest there are always a few "fans"
who are a little on the strange side and Star Trek is no exception.
Trekkies shows both sides of the coin from the truely dedicated fans of the
Series to the casual people who enjoy the stories, but stop short of having
the show run their lives.

Both Trekkies and Trekkies 2 (which follows up on some of people
from the first Trekkies) is wonderfully entertaining and makes a great
point that a single show such as Star Trek can make a positive impact
on society.

I highly recommend purchasing these for the Star Trek/SciFi Fan in your
life!!!!!

I enjoyed these DVDs, I took long enough to finally buy them but Star Trek is something I have been involved with since that first show on television. The cast interviews are worth the cost of the DVDs.

Those who haven't always been Star Trek fans will learn a lot about the Phenomenon that is Star Trek. Not only did its creator inspire a believe in better future for mankind, it inspired the people who made that future possible. Our technology today owes a lot to the inspiration that was then science fiction, but is today science fact.

You won't be disappointed in my estimation IF you buy them.

Some of the people shown in these documentaries are a little over the top. But for the most part it shows the dedication the fans have to the ideals of Star Trek and the positive impact the shows have had on people's lives. I love that Denise goes all around the world interviewing fans. Star Trek isn't just an American show. It belongs to the world.

Since I'm some what of a Trekkie or Trekker, depending on your preference, I enjoyed both DVD's. I definately recommend them if watch or have watched Star Trek.

Trekkies 1 is hilarious. Trekkies have the best sense of humour . Who could imagine golf fanatics poking fun at themselves this way. And on the serious side, the amount of charity and good will that trekkies give every day is inspiring. As a trekkie for over 30 yrs, I laughed, cryed, was slighly cringing at times but overall had fun. And if you're not a trekkie, find out what it all means. It's not so scary. You'll be surprised!!
