    I tried to sign up, but during the login process a wild pack of jocks showed up and gave me a wedgie of galactic proportions, stole my lunch and banged the picture of a girl I planned on talking to eventually.

    Actually, Facebook gained popularity by doing very much the opposite. At first, it was just for Harvard students. Then just for Ivy league. They created an exclusive club, and gradually opened it to more and more people.

    Not mine. Nor most of the sci-fi fans I know. My father-in-law and my virgin ex-roommate are about the only exceptions.

    The man that told Star Trek fans to "get a life" and who wanted to put as much distance between himself and the role of Kirk as humanly possible? I could see Koenig, but Shatner?

    I smell a "there's money in it, and those Sci-Fi geeks gobble up anything Star Trek, let's cash in".
