Trek me up

I for one find Star Trek very entertaining. I know that's not cool to admit, but how can you not? The deliciously repetitive storylines, the impossible defiance of reality that acts as deus ex machina, the horrific dialog that the actors take so seriously--it's all beautiful.
Haven't you ever thought of that? These actors walk around in their costumes, on a set, and recite their lines to each other without cracking up. Really, could you look a man straight in the face, as an actor, and say to him--in all seriousness--"Captain, I'm picking up some unusual readings in the Alpha Omicron system"?
I hope they all get paid well. They probably don't even like Star Trek. Besides, what do they watch at home while they're playing on the internet? Not Star Trek. And that's sad.
