Star Trek Thesis

Seriously, this stuff is awesome. Not because it's dorks writing about dorky stuff (although it is), but because it's taking a frequently overlooked section of society and seriously applying academic research and study to it, and yielding (surprise!) really fascinating results. Things like star trek and their ilk are simply another way of reflecting or questioning the society around us, and (although I'm not a particular fan of star trek) it makes me warm and happy to see somebody taking a scholarly interest in them.
