Yup, got the wife on board too lol. We both love Sci-Fi, but neither of us ever watched it. And then suddenly, we had an enormous pool of great sci-fi to watch! We started probably around October, 2023
I had posted this on !risa@startrek.website around that time

So what you’re telling me is that I had a hand in your infection… mwahahahaha. No but for real. I fucking love Star Trek and by now you clearly know why. You’ve seen everything the shows have to offer. And no matter whether they’re “good” or “bad”, they all have some hope to give or moral to tell or journey to go on. They’re awesome. I’m glad that someone else has shared in the joy of that too. Just… give Discovery a chance despite what you’ve heard… New shows, fans get salty… Make up your own mind on if you like it. But I will say that like every Trek show, first season is a bit rocky…

I do plan on watching Discovery, despite what I’ve heard, because I still love the premise of it all, at the end of the day. I already know the first season will be rough… but idk, if I can get through season one of DS9 (and let’s be honest, season 2 as well), I think I’ll get into it. Cause by season 3 of DS9, it started to slap and felt like good 'ol space again, and I started to love it for it’s own flavor. So I’m optimistic and persistent enough lol
But yeah, it’s the best thing Lemmy has given to me because I’m more than officially hooked. Hell, my text ringtone is the TOS intercom tone and my wife has a Janeway popsocket on her phone (There’s a right way, a wrong way, and the Janeway). We have TOS on blueray and I’m planning on hitting up the library for the rest… y’all got us pretty good, to say the least lmao But we appreciate it

Yeah… basically every Trek show has a really rough start with the exception of Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. Groundbreaking.
Hell yeah on the ringtones! Every notification tone on my phone comes from Trek in some fashion. The Voyager theme song is my ringtone <3 Discovery and Voyager constantly flip back and forth between who is my favorite.
Also Janeway did nothing wrong with Tuvix, I will die defending my queen
I’m so happy that you guys have found a new joy for you two to share together that has brought so many others the same joy. I hope your journey is long and fruitful, my friend <3
