"Barbara [Adams] is an interesting case study. Every day, she goes to her job at a printing company wearing rank insignia, a phaser, and a communicator badge. Barbara does this because she believes that the values of the Federation are important, and she believes that she is setting an example. After watching and listening to her for a while we began to realize that Barbara is a harmless eccentric. Some eccentrics collect newspapers or cats, some wash their cars 4 times a day, and some create websites about cult movies.* It's obvious that Barbara would be obsessive about something, and it's probably for the best that it is something positive. ... Because this movie has no plot, there really can't be a big finish, the same way some documentaries end with the killer being caught, or somebody being sentenced. Trekkies manages to end on a high note, though, by running some amazingly funny Star Trek comedians under the end credits. Most of the comedians take the same tack: they ridicule themselves for their own geekiness, castigate society for branding them as losers, or make constant in-jokes about the series. Fortunately, the documentary itself does few of these things, making it accessible to the uninitiated while remaining interesting to those who could qualify to be featured in the sequel."
