I'll see what I can find, but I originally read about it in an old Something Awful thread, and it was documented in a professional journal.

The NExt Generation has a huge crossover between its fandom and diddlers. The dude who was restoring the bridge set and was going to open a TNG museum got busted with tons of material, and something like half his core team on the project were on the registry or accused as well.

I'm intrigued; can you cross ref different fandoms with pedo leanings?

I think the quote from the article was "Not every Star Trek fan is a pedo, but every pedo is a TNG fan." Speaking of SA, the mod that ran the Star Trek thread and worked on the Blu-Ray releases of TNG was a diddler.

I do remember a forum post where a cop who busted kiddie diddlers said that he saw Star Trek related merch in the diddlers' homes a good chunk of the time.

Wait. I found an article about it:

Pedophilia and Star Trek

If you're a pedophile, odds are you've watched a lot of Star Trek.

I don't think there's anything pedo about the original series. But maybe the thought of a brightly colored utopia that nannies its members and provides for them is appealing to pedos, the same way that Disneyland, with its high level of coddling and bright colors is appealing to gays.

I really think it's more that there's a lot of crossover between pedos and SFF in general. But normies know what Star Trek is, so you can get a lot more eyeballs with "Trekkies are pedos!" than you could writing about the Breendoggle, because who outside of fandom knew who the fuck Walter Breen was?

Not pedos (afaik) but lest we forget the Heaven's Gate Cult's Star Trek connection as well. I think Star Trek is just well liked by freaks of all stripes.

Nichelle Nichols's brother was one of the cultists who went to meet the aliens that day.

I always avoided it because everyone said just watch 2, 4, and 6. Is the first movie actually decent? What version should I watch?

Dollar for dollar, watch the TOS episode The Changeling. It's the same kind of plot, but told in half the time. TMP was very expensive--which is why Harve Bennet said he could have made several movies for the budget of TMP--and yes, technically all that money is on the screen, but as a story achieves as much as one TOS episode.

Patreon Update:

In a re:View first, we're covering a movie we've already talked about before! Oh wait, I guess we kind of did that with the Friday the 13th movies. But ignoring that, this is the first time we've done it! Rich and Mike sat down to have a discussion of Star Trek The Motion Picture. If you were unaware, there have been many many many re-releases with various tweaks and changes and that's discussed amongst other things. Coming soon!​

Why not review Wrath of Khan you hacks?

It's because they coom thinking about an unrelated holodeck.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture set the standard for what a badass starship engine is supposed to look like, and remains the unchallenged champion to this day. Any nigger who sees this in motion and thinks "pffft, they wasted too much money on special effects" is wrong.

With such a gigantic engine, you'd think the film would move a little faster.

It's the only Star Trek movie you can leave to run some errands and not miss anything important when you come back.

Star Trek is like Sonic. It's not pro-deviancy but it does attract a lot of deviants.

It obviously took a lot of inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey, slow pace included.

I have to nerd out and respectfully disagree, Alien's Nostromo has got it beat:




For those unfamiliar, that whitish-blue horizontal line in the rear are windows into the room where Ripley initiates the self destruct, you can see her tiny figure moving around in the window in the movie.

Though I do agree that TMP did an extremely admirable job. Real-life seagoing vessels have huge engine rooms, why shouldn't fantasy spacefaring vessels? It's a movie, impress the audience. That "passengers" movie had the tiniest cubicle of an engine room powered by a glowing ball or something. All I could think when seeing that is thinking "you have all the budget and cgi and stuff in the world, and this is what you come up with?"

Ugh yeah that was so damned disappointing. The rest of the ship looks amazing, and they just had a little metal room at the back taking a (bad) shot at mimicking a tokamak interior acting as the power center. Such a cop-out.

I have to nerd out and respectfully disagree, Alien's Nostromo has got it beat:

Event Horizon had a unique engine room with its gothic design and biblical inspired 'gravity drive'. The Hal 9000 control room from 2001 with the bright red walls was an inspiration for a lot of science fiction films as well. 1984 Dune had a long scene with lots of practical effects where you see a shuttle land inside of a Guild ship that then travels through space at 'folding' speeds. Starship Troopers also had a lot of scenes where the pilots are maneuvering giant ships or flying tiny shuttles through some type of large space station.

The derelict in the original Alien is also well designed. Especially stuff like the egg chamber or the space jockey room.

They have to go in order.

I've really gotta hunt it down, but the Toronto PD said the same thing. There was an article floating around where they said all the sex pest trannies they'd bust for diddling ALWAYS had Trek memorabilia.
