-: My first point of contact with Star Trek was 1996
when I first watched the movie,
First Contact with Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Before that I didn't like Star Trek at all
but somehow that movie really captured my imagination,
I loved it.
Ever since then I've been a Trekkie.
This is the season two,
a captain's uniform by Captain Kirk, William Shatner.
He got a little, he gained a little weight for season two,
so that they he had to make him brand new uniform
for him to make a little wider on the bottom
so, and I'm a little bigger down
to myself now that I'm 41 years old.
So metabolism has not been kind to me.
So that's my uniform for now.
-: I kind of grew up with Star Trek.
I was like a Alaska kid and my mother used to sit me
in front of television
and I would watch old episodes of the original series.
So I just kind of, you know, I grew up with it.
I think my favorite original series episode it was
with the one side is black, the other side is white
and then the other side,
one side is black and the other side is white.
You know, it just spoke to a deeper issues in society
and it never made very much sense of like,
they are the same people,
but they, you know, it's kind of impacted
so when I was a young adult,
that's when The Next Generation started
and I was all in from the beginning so.
It was made by a company called Annabelle's.
They do the high quality costumes
and we loved it, we saved up for it and we bought them.
This was from Roddenberry's, this is a actual Tricorder.
So we thought it was cool, we had to get it.
-: So, you know, it was the fact that
there was a a black captain man,
that was like, honestly, you know,
it was like the first thing that drew me in.
I've seen all the other iterations,
but I felt like this one was a little bit more timely
and like, it spoke to me a little bit more.
So it was like, all right, let me, you know,
shout out a few shillings
to like check out the All Access
and check it out so it's dope, man,
I really like it.
-: My first point of contact
with Star Trek was the original series
that was showing back
on NBC in living color back in the 1960s.
-: Also (indistinct) David, the original series in the 1960s.
Well, when it started,
of course the original series,
I did have color television too.
(man laughing)
We're in the process of actually finishing up a fan film.
So written by David, our wives tolerated.
(man laughs)
-: Old favorite character,
I loved Spock from original series.
It was war from The Next Generation
and I kind of liked Anton Yelchin.
And so, you know, from the new guy,
I just loved his character.
And so, you know, rest in peace,
but that was my favorite character from the new ones.
-: Call me, you know what I'm saying?
Let's work, let's do something.
You know what I mean?
Like, yeah let's figure it out, big fan,
I appreciate all the work you guys are putting down
and, you know, keep killing it.
