In the beginning there was the Trekkie. The Trekkie went Whole Hawg
& made a Total Damn Fool out'n his/herself (wearing Spock ears to
work, giving everybody who'd watch [& some who wouldn't] the Vulcan
"high sign," etc.) & just in general doing a good job of giving all
Trek fans a bad name.  The Media {tm} (then as now exploiters of the
free cheap shot) jumped on them like white on rice, & some of us who
*did* love the show but were embarrassed by the antic frantics of
the -kies coined the term *-ker* as a means of differentiation, &
thus was the One True & Sensible Fan (Sorry, Zorch. <eg>) born.

The movie Casino Royale was a spoof of James Bond movies.  It
featured Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, and David Niven, IIRC.  Sean
Connery did not appear.  The finale featured an exploding casino with e
bevy of mini-skirted bases running helter skelter.  It is never counted
as part of the franchise.
However the topic here is Star Trek.  Somebody misidentified the TNG
episode "The Royale" as "Casino Royale."  I think we have satisfactorily
made the correction.  :-)
