Though I can't promise 2 or 5, since I don't watch a lot of films or television or listen to much music.

And I started to learn Klingon because I was a Star Trek fan and then I found that dictionary in a shop. At that time I would have bought anything Star Trek related. Thought it was a joke, but when I read it, I understood that it was really a language. Later on, when I found the KLI online I was so fascinated by the fact that I understood what they were saying on the mailing list, that I continued to learn Klingon. All the books that came out were really cool as well, though I didn't manage to really read all of Hamlet or paghmo' tIn mIS. Only ghIlghameS I read completely.
Being in the Khemorex Klinzhai (http://www.klingons.org) helped as well, there are a lot of people interested to learn, even though only a few managed to learn enough to talk to in Klingon.
Right now I'm not that much into Klingon any more, not that much going on in the KLI as well. Though I enjoy using it from time to time, and I'm still using pojwI' to improve my vocab. But I'm busy learning other languages.

even though only a few managed to learn enough to talk to in Klingon.

That was the impression I got as well -- many enthusiasts about Klingon culture, some of whom are interested in the language, too, but few of whom actually learn enough to carry on a conversation. (Though my sample size was, admittedly, small.)

I say the samples you got were as interested in Klingon as it gets in this club. They all SAY they want to learn Klingon, but when they notice it's a real language and not some kind of trick they don't want to put any effort into it.
