Being a Type 1 diabetic Trekkie means that sometimes your two autocorrect suggestions are “insulin” and “I, Sulu”

I enjoy shipping, but I cannot see the appeal in watching shows only for the purpose of shipping; I think it closes you off to so much. I think coming into a work with the expectation that it will only succeed if a particular configuration of people end up happily in a relationship with each other when the curtain closes means you will reject so many unexpected choices altogether. It destroys your ability to appreciate the entire concept of tragedy. Just, imagine refusing to let yourself enjoy "I'm not a gardener" because you are too furious that a different kiss than the one you wanted happened to feel other emotions.

You're a Federation civilian in Star Trek. You risked your life to fare space, and Starfleet officers will sacrifice anything for your safety. Were they to fail, the captain will make a passionate speech about how you were an exemple of bravery and resilience.

You're an earth civilian in Doctor Who. A cyberman chop your head off while you're on your way to the grocery store. It's aired live on BBC news

Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel

I usually just do a few pictures from multiple episodes for these posts but the unhinged commentary between my friend @petracourtjester and I throughout this one was too good to not share. Plus, it’s “Darmok”.

For some context, this is her 1st time watching Star Trek and my 3rd time (I think?) watching "Darmok" specifically. First time I watched it I was too young to really understand what was happening.

And this is why fandom is important.

Shows don't die unless fans let them.

Hannibal is trending and had its finale 9 years ago. I am just now watching it for the first time. (I did grow up watching the OG movies though.)

I am first and foremost a Hunter. Supernatural is going on its 18th post-season.

I am a TOS Trekkie.

I love Monty Python.

I love Charlie Chaplin.

Van Gogh and Mozart are my life.

I am 32. I am a Millennial.

Do not let art and culture die. Do not let them die because they have done nothing but unconditionally give us life.

You know it amazes me how little people understand about Star Trek!

The other day I was watching Star Wars with my friends, and we were going through our favorite tv shows and of course at the top of my list is Star Trek, (note that I didn’t rank all the different tv shows of Star Trek enterprise, Picard, tos, tas, tng,voy, ect) they were making fun of it and me (affectionate) so I asked them if they had ever seen Star Trek and received no’s.

Star Wars (I do love the show for the space crimes and the ideal of light and dark and how they explore it) is a world where mitigating the fact that if you read the books or just watch the tv shows it’s a space old west messy universe.

Star Trek (especially tos) it’s basically gays in some sort of military in space. Which I get it’s camp and sometimes weird to watch with other people or Trekkies that don’t share the same opinion than you (McSpirk forever baby)

The Original Series sparked fandom culture! When the series was going downhill who kept it afloat ??????

HOUSEWIVES

That’s right!! They wrote in letters to keep the show going!

This information is lost in modern history to the average person!

Star Trek isn’t just a fun show it’s literally embedded into fandom.

And it’s so so important to me specifically because it’s an envisionment for a brighter future.

It’s hope that one day we can reach the peace that dreamers of our world have made steps to achieve.

honestly I don’t know how to describe that in comparison to other shows Star Trek can’t be compared because it’s a vision for our future and is not just a Space show.

When I was a kid (and now too I suppose), I really clung to certain aspects of 'Stranger Danger' and superstition and took it really seriously to *never give anyone my name*.

For some reason my chosen fake name since forever has been Gates McFadden.

Like 5 years old my lil crow brain was like yes this is it this is the name I'm stealing.

Clown: What's your name kiddo?

Gates McFadden.

First Trip to Starbucks: Name for the order?

Gates McFadden!

Random social situation and someone asks?

Gates McFadden.

Any time a teacher who wasn't mine asked for my name:

Gates McFadden.

People who get it:

Everyone else:

Me packing up my Star Trek memorabilia for my move. Standing in the middle of the room looking perplexed.

My brother passes by stops and looks at me concerned. "What's wrong?" he asks. I hold up the Phaser in my hand "I've lost a phaser..." He busts out laughing and rolls his eyes as he walks away.

I'm gonna miss these kind of moments living on my own.
