Star Trek Tour
Monty and I decided to check out the Star Trek Experience today at the Hilton hotel. I was expecting something totally lame, but it was actually cool. Well, cool in a Star Trek kinda way.
In the beginning, we were all herded into a room and there were lachrymose guys working there and beginning the tour. They were in these lame Starfleet uniforms and one guy said to the other, in a sad distant voice, “Commander Flipfellow, is the away team ready to go?” On the other side of the room, behind all of us, the other guy answered in an equally distant and practiced way, “Yes, Commander. My phaser is set on ‘fun’.”
The rest of the tour was actually sort of cool. It was pretty much an exact replica of the bridge from the Next Generation, and I could almost get into it, if there wasn’t a 300 pound woman in front of me that was wearing a T-shirt that said, “Branson, Missouri - It’s Not Just for Chicken-Fried Steak.”
