How far would you go?
Several science-fiction films and series have become
so popular that they have achieved cult status. Their
influence continues to grow and followers and fans
remain steadfastly loyal to their imagined heroes. There
are conventions, books, magazines and websites all
dedicated to these stars, their exploits and their lives.
One of the most influential TV sci-fi series of all time
was
Star Trek
, an American series which followed the
adventures of the
Starship Enterprise
across galaxies
for many, many years. The characters of Captain Kirk,
Doctor Spock and Engineer Scottie, to name just a few
members of the valiant crew, captured our imaginations.
Feature films brought the adventures to the big screen
but even when the series and films had finished and the
ageing crew long retired loyal fans keep the memories
alive. There are regular
Star Trek
conventions all over
the world where fans meet to buy memorabilia, listen
to talks and of course dress up as their favourite aliens.
And as with other cult shows,
Star Trek
also has its fair
share of eccentrics who take interest that one step further
– into obsession.
One such person, Tony Adams, lives in Leicestershire,
England and is so fond of the series that he spent
several years and many thousands of pounds decorating
and changing his flat into the bridge of the
Starship
Enterprise
. It contains replicas of all the machines and
screens and even has a transporter room fitted with
special beams of light. The flat is perfect but it still
functions as a living area. The owner has ingeniously
disguised essential appliances such as microwaves and
sinks, and normal entertainment equipment like TV,
radio and DVD systems are carefully hidden behind wall
panels. The whole flat is bathed in an eerie blue light and
you can really imagine looking out of one of the porthole
windows and seeing stars and planets speeding past.
Perhaps the owner’s next step will be to learn Klingon,
the language spoken by one of the alien species that
Kirk and friends encounter on their travels. In a quite
remarkable feat, a whole new language has been created
and it is possible to attend the Klingon Language
Institute in Pennsylvania, founded by Lawrence M
Schoen. You can actually gain a qualification in Klingon.
And when you have learned the language you will be
able to read Shakespeare’s
Hamlet
which has already
been translated!
For more interesting
Star Trek
obsessives, look on their
website or even better, go to one of their conventions. It
will be quite an experience!
