You’ll turn into us… slowly but surely. Sooner than later you’ll think something looks really cool and then look it up on YouTube. You’ll look up a few more clips then go “Eh, why not give this show a try.” From there it’s a slippery slope into bliss, my friend.
Welcome to the subspace fold.
I can already feel myself slipping, all these flashing gifs… there mesmerizing…
I actually was already planning on starting watching lol this sub def contributed to that. Remembered I never finished the Orville so started there, now gotta figure out where to start on Trek.
Thanks to this sub I became a trekkie as well, would say that while I couldn’t get into TOS, these three rocked, Discovery, Strange new Worlds, and lower decks.
Same. It’s like the most active community on Lemmy
I am so proud that this place is too. Definitely happy to call it home.
Its the coolest instance.
Why can’t we have a instance for Linux
iusearchlinux.fyi
It is really active, not as much as like the huge ones like memes or 196 but for the average sized ones it’s huge
The shit in this community is hilarious even tho i havent watched a single star treck episode in my life.
This sub made me start on Star Trek TNG. I’m finishing the show up this week. I don’t regret a single thing. Thank you Lemmy!
Same, never seen anything star trek related but the memes here are pretty goof
This is accurate because it’s pretty much canon that Spock never watched a single episode of Star Trek either.
“Crew of Enterprise finds out they’re characters in a TV show” sounds like a genuine concept for an episode.
… That’s kinda upsidedown Galaxy Quest.
“Our reality may be very much like theirs, and all this might just be an elaborate simulation, running inside a little device sitting on someone’s table.”
Sounds like something that cartoon version might very well do.
Check out Redshirts by John Scalzi.
I would think he would be well versed in all historical documents?
So he’s watched Enterprise and that’s it?
That poor bastard.
Posts from this community popping up from time to time was actually what pushed me to start watching a few weeks ago. So, a big thank you to you all!
Fantastic! Welcome to the franchise fandom family - large, argumentative but still fam.
Also, this is one of the nicest, least toxic, places to talk to other fans.
You have SO much amazing and interconnected content ahead of you, always so jealous of newcomers in that regard. No doubt you will enjoy 🖖
I watched all seasons of The Orville. Does that count for anything?
So many people chiming in that they haven’t watched Star Trek.
You monsters.
Everyone knows Darth Vader is Frodos dad so no need to
Do you really need to tell everybody??
No, but he threatened to melt Marty McFly’s dad’s brains, and Marty later went on to show off his Wild Gunman kills to Frodo.
Star wars is better
They both had great first series/trilogies, kinda shitty follow-ups more than a decade later, and J. J. Abrams then hammered the final nails into both franchise in the 21st century.
Seven of Nine: Skintight leotards.
Deanna Troy: Also skintight leotards, but less often.
Whatever you do, DON’T PROVOKE THE BORG
The best captain was of course Cpt Janeway. Fight me
Senator Kinsey, you rat bast-
Oh, excuse me Admiral, I thought you were someone else

I watched Picard’s Flute at the recommendation of a friend 10+ years ago. I’m assuming every episode is as perfect. Never watched another episode. Welcome the the club.
If you ever decide you want some great episodes to watch here are a handful great episodes off the top of my head: In the Pale Moonlight (Deep Space Nine), Subspace Rhapsody (Strange New Worlds-if you don’t mind musicals), Equinox (Voyager), or First Contact (Lower Decks)
Would you say one can watch these without context ? (never watched Star Trek either)
Honestly, all the memes is what got me to start watching Next Gen, and I’m so glad I did.
I’ve been wanting to rewatch TNG and DS9, but I don’t have access to Paramount+ and haven’t gotten around to finding an alternative source yet
Wow there are more if us than I thought
It is because of this shit that I’m now finished with Discovery, Lower Decks, 5 episodes into SNW, 20 Episodes into ENT, and 1.75 seasons through TOS.
What an Inspiring place 🖖
We need a deacrynim bot in here.
Or you’re like me and saw the only episode that matters: Darmok
I’ve only seen the tribles episode.
This is such a heartwarming thread.
I’m also a Trekster. Or how we say: Trekkerony
Seriously, how do you have access to the internet and never see a single movie/episode?
Like, Captain Kirk or Captain Picard, amiright!?
How do you manage to go through life without watching a single episode of Trek? It has numerous seasons and spinoffs, and it is constantly in sindication. Do you avoid broadcast TV in entirety?
Does watching Mike and Rich insert it into every conversation count?
Im the same with starwars I only know the prequels and my lore knowledge is only through memes
Nothing better than TNG and DS9.

Riker = Horny, trombonist, scolds you for believing fake stories
Picard = Likes tea, traumatized by patio lights
Janeway = Murderous criminal
Sisko = The cooler murderous criminal
That about covers it.

That’s not really science fiction though.

Also all characters of all Star Trek shows are portrayed by Jeffrey Combs only.

how delightful-weyoun
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a popular one-man show that’s been on since 1966.
EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d unironically love to watch a Jeffrey Combs episode. Credit him as writer and producer etc for bonus Combs.

She’s not a murderous criminal. She’s magnificent.

You forgot Janeway’s coffee obsession and Data’s obsession with stand-up comedy
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
About her coffee obsession… let’s just say it wasn’t just coffee in that cup.
letsgo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Data’s organ solo’s pretty good too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=45-zgojwMYo

do archer and burnham XD
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Archer is a dog loving goofball who is confused that he has the job.
Burham is from some weird non-canon fan fiction.
Eylrid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Archer is a secret agent who is afraid of alligators, crocodiles, and brain aneurysms. Burnham is a guy who healed the world with comedy from his bedroom.
