Weve all heard about rabid Warsies, Trekkies and Hobbit freaks, but what gorups of fans have you met that are pretty ok in your book?

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Trekkies.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Ears" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Ears" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a TV show dammit, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!

Charlie: Are- are you saying then that we should pay more attention to the movies?

William Shatner: NO!!! THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING AT ALL!!! HEY, YOU GUYS ARE... THE LAMEST BUNCH... I'VE NEVER SEEN... [ walks away from podium ] I can't believe these people... I mean, I really can't understand what's....

It would have been funny if he had actually said that.

Dude!! Along with Cowbell, that's one of the best skits on SNL ever.

Legato didn't see it?:

Well, he DID say it, albeit in an SNL skit. But, from what I understand, it was something he'd been DYING to say for a long time. ;)

*Shrugs* That's one of the reasons I can't stand Shatner.


Now to get back on topic . . . the Babylon 5 fans I've met at numberous cons and online seem to really be nice and have their heads in the right places. Perhaps it's because most of the actors are/were very cool and down-to-earth?
