Star Trek: The Exhibition


I went the other day to the Star Trek Exhibition in San Diego. I had mixed feelings about the show. On the one hand, I enjoyed seeing the uniforms from the different series of Star Trek and the bridge from the Original Series. There were also a lot of props and Captain Picard's room. At the same time, I felt a little disappointed because I know so much about the series that the information that was given seemed too simplistic. I mean, they did not plan for the die hard Trek fans who know a lot about the shows and characters and add some interesting info that might not be known to the general public. The info they did provide was right in the middle: you had to know something of the shows but not too little and not too much. Now the reason I complain is that mostly people who know Star Trek are going to go, so why not gear everything to that level? I left feeling disappointed. The Exhibition was scaled down from the Tour due to financial reasons and I guess they really scaled it down. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
