Featured for a whopping 15 minutes of film is the Whitewater juror who went to court dressed in a Star Trek uniform, complete with phaser and tri-corder. As a fan, I was embarrassed when she did this, because when your friends and family read about her, they all point in your direction and say something like "That's YOU!" B. G. Burkett wrote a book about stereotypes. In "Stolen Valor" Mr. Burkett described the crowds at Vietnam memorial commisionings. These crowds are made up of many successful veterans. These veterans own businesses, are managers etc., and the media always walks past these smartly dressed people to the back row. In the back row sits the two stringy-haired people wearing torn GI fatigues and various buttons. These are the people that are interviewed.
With Star Trek fans, the media too, always seems to find the one person who truly believes they have green blood, and interviews them. "Trekors" seems to be an honest attempt to portray the fans in a different light. This movie succedes EXCEPT when it changes direction, and shows the same stereotypes that the popular media is showing.
