I hear there is going to be a special episode on Ellen where she outs herself as a \*Trekkie \*.

She’s just a ratings whore. Everyone already knew she was one anyway.

Was it coincidence that in one of the Star Trek movies, they went to modern day \* San Francisco \*?

I don’t have any Star Trek/Star Wars interests. As I so eloquently put it: As long as you stay out of my boudoir, I can’t give a Trek who you’re Trekking.
