To all the Trekkies of this world, Are you trekkie enough for this? Options

If you're reading this, you're either a trekkie, or you're a non-trekkie who hopes to get a really good laugh. I think the subject at hand has potential to please both groups.

Trekkies, if you wonder if you're geeky enough, there is now a chance to find out. Turns out Paramount has cleaned out the garage and is now selling off crap from 40 years of Star Trek! And before you think back to that last convention you went to where they sold all that cheap crap like horribly glorified drawings of aging actors, this crap they're gonna sell is good crap! Among the highlights are:

- that flute Picard played in that one episode where...uh.. you know
- a real Klingon captain's chair! (Q'Pla!)
- Phasers!
- and the ultimate dream of the real basement-dwelling trekkie: 7 of 9's season 7 jump suite!

The auction is done by Christies, and takes place stardate October 5th through 7th. In case you want to browse a few of the highlights, click here - Flash required.

Scott Bacula. And seriously, it was aweful. Worst thing ever to happen to Trek was Enterprise. Best thing that ever happened to it was that it was cancelled after 4 seasons. The first two were ok, the third was -simply put- a disgrace.

Me, personally, I guess I'd want the flute or the chair. The flute because I really liked the episode it's from (TNG episode Inner Light), and the chair because it looks like a good computer chair! However, considering the price tag, I don't think it'll happen. Not because I couldn't afford it (well, the chair would be pushing it), but because I'm just not that crazy. I think. Well. I hope!

Ah, I do tell a lie. I just remembered they also sell the runabout model. Now considering that DS9 is the best Trek show hands down, and considering the many cool episodes with that particular model in a central role ("One Little Ship" comes to mind, an episode where the Rubicon is accidently shrunk to the size of a brick while the Defiant is attacked by the Dominion), I guess that would be even better. But... the amount of money this is going to sell for is beyond good and evil.
