'Trekies' are usually initially hooked on to the Star Trek phenomenon by the intellectually stimulating issues covered in the different episodes.

A trekkie is a person who LOVES Star Trek. They may or may not dress as characters and go to conventions. They are sometimes just normal people who watch or read excessive amounts of Star Trek.
Trekkie1 "I just finished reading the whole Star Trek series"
Trekkie2 "No way! I just finished the movie series"
Trekkie3 "I just got back from a Klingon convention"

A fan of Star Trek, aka Trekker, Alhough Gene Roddenberry once mentioned that the only word he acknowledged was Trekkie. Trekkies are commonly known for their unique behavior often memorizing everything there is to know about Star Trek, going too conventions, having every Star Trek episode on VHS or DVD. Mainstream Media often pokes fun at them for being geeks, nerds, or just freaks.
Orgins:
The Term Trekkie can be seen in the novel "the great trek" by E.A. Walker, of course at this point it had no relation whatsoever to Star Trek.
More than 30 years ago, A Science Fiction editor by the name of Art Saha applied the word Trekkies to Star Trek fans when he saw a group of Star Trek fans wearing pointed ears at a Science Fiction convention.
