...know these closet nerds exist, because--improbable as it sounds to those who wish someone would shove a photon torpedo up the Enterprise exhaust--the enterprise still thrives. Though showing its age after 664 TV shows and a 35th birthday last year, the franchise still generates perhaps $200 million a year in revenues when you add up movie grosses, TV ad sales and what's spent on books (500 have been published), DVDs and tchotchkes (Trek ornaments are always among Hallmark's top holiday sellers).
