    Nothing at all!  Actually, that's not true, they've provided   
   some spectacularly fun evenings. Or so I am told. I don't remember.   
   Something to do with vast quantities of alkeehole, I believe. I have   
   seen photographic evidence, though, and it did look like I had a very   
   good time indeed, up to and including the point where people   
   (including, perhaps even lead by me) started disrobing... I've also   
   helped out at a mate's convention shepherding several hundred fans   
   around a convention hall, all in good humour. So the fans are okay.   
      
   Some of the programmes, on the other hand, mostly suck in the nasty,   
   noisy, down-the-plughole-suckyness kind of way. "Turn your brain off"   
   doesn't even start to cover most of season 3 of TOS, a lot of the   
   back-end of TNG, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and a fair chunk of   
   DS9. At least half the movies don't just suck, they come with their   
   own in-built black holes.   
      
   Oh, don't get me wrong. Huge swathes of B5 suck as well. I'm not doing   
   the blind fanboy thing here!! :-)
