   Most so-called "fans" are fly-by-night psuedo-fans happy with any old crap   
   as long as it has "Star Trek" in the title (or in the case of Enterprise,   
   assumed to be in the title) OR they simply flit from one new toy to the   
   next no matter what it is. Slap a "Star Trek" label on Barney and many of   
   these morons will happily watch that believing it actually is "Star   
   Trek".   :-(
