I didn't see the first Trekkies movie, but I enjoyed this one. I thought Denise Crosby was a good choice.
I appeared briefly in the documentary on the 1995 Glasgow Worldcon, so I can sympathise with some fans' sensitivities. (Some overlap re filk)
On the negative side, I thought two discussions went on too long: whether one should wear Star Trek uniform on jury service, and the definition of an anorak. What I would like to see more of is the artifacts of the fans who had turned their homes into replicas of the Enterprise. I liked the international character of this documentary. I was fascinated by the visit to Hinckley, a small town in England which is hosting this year's Eastercon. I would rate Trekkies 2 above some of the later Star Trek movies, but not the first five. I would watch it again.
