Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

      Oh yeah, it’s TV for sure. The original ran from 1966-69 with 79 episodes, and that was going to be it because they had never heard of a “fandom” before.

      Then, they realized that people were showing up to conventions and obsessing over the show, so they finally made the first movie in 1979 and then started the next show in the 80s (which ran for like 140-150 episodes).

      The TV series is the main draw, with any movies along the way just being a bonus.

        everything made after 1989 is them (still) trying to make up for dropping a big huge giant turd ball that summer.

          Lol, you mean you didn’t like them singing Row Row Row Your Boat around the campfire? Or Uhura’s sexy fan dance? How about Scotty running into a crossbeam like he’s in the Three Stooges?

        Plus the movies were alternating hit and miss. The first was so-so, Wrath of Kahn was good, Search for Spock was meh, Voyage Home was my favorite, etc
