Die-hard Trekkie turns basement into the original USS Enterprise

How devoted are you to your fandom? This Trekkie took her fandom to another level. Meet Line Rainville, 51, from Quebec, Canada. She spent the last two years and $30,00 transforming her basement into the original USS Enterprise. Rainville recreated the Enterprise bridge, an observation deck, a transporter room, and a recreation room. The attention to detail is amazing that only Trekkies would notice them.

“I was 9 when I first watched ‘Star Trek’ in French with my father, I became addicted to this show and during the week, and I looked forward to each Tuesday at seven for another episode. I enjoyed ‘Star Trek’ because it was about space, unknown worlds, and aliens who often ended up being more friendly than expected. I enjoyed learning about Vulcans and seeing the interactions between the characters. I was fond of Kirk and almost jealous of Spock because he was always around the captain, a place I wanted to claim.” – Rainville told CNET.
